What's that on State Route 12 near Rosa Parks Boulevard, Clarksville Pike in Davidson Co.
So, "what's that," you might ask. We have the answer.
Erin Zeigler, a spokesperson with the Tennessee Department of Transportation, said the project along State Route 12 is part of the state's policy to adhere to a Federal Highway Administration mandate to support bicycle transportation, pedestrian walkways that meet Americans with Disabilities Act and other standards.
Curb upgrades will cause daily lane closures from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., according to TDOT.
Lane closures on State Route 12 at the Rosa L. Parks Boulevard and Reverend Kelly M. Smith Way intersection are happening for ADA curb ramp upgrades at mile marker 3.2.
There will be alternating lane closures during the project at Clarksville Pike and Buena Vista Pike for an ADA curb ramp upgrade from mile marker 3.34-3.9.
While it is integral that TDOT meet guidelines and standards, ensuring the Department's transportation services, programs and activities are accessible to all persons goes beyond compliance, we know a successful transportation system is critical for the public's mobility, safety, economy and health – and we are dedicated to deliver that to all Tennesseans," Zeigler said in an emailed statement.
Zeigler said the project will not have any full road closures or detours, though delays could occur because of the alternating lane closures associated with the project.
The curb ramp project will be completed, weather permitting, by the end of May, Zeigler said.

Trump administration live updates: National Guard deployed to Washington, D.C., in federal anti-crime push
State Rep. Josh Turek, a former Paralympian with two gold medals, announced he is running for Senate in Iowa, joining a crowded Democratic primary for the seat held by GOP Sen. Joni Ernst. 'When I was a kid, there was a senator from Iowa that made sure that the doors were open for kids like me,' Turek, who uses a wheelchair, says in his launch video, referencing former Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin, who authored the Americans with Disabilities Act. 'Now, the senator from Iowa is just closing doors, taking away health care, making it harder for parents to feed their kids. All just to give tax breaks to billionaires. And her explanation? 'Well, we all are going to die,'' Turek adds, referencing a viral moment from an Ernst town hall earlier this year when she defended cuts to Medicaid in Trump's sweeping tax cut and spending bill.

FERC wants answers from Lake Lynn on Cheat Lake Park maintenance problems
dbeard@ MORGANTOWN – The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has told Lake Lynn Generation it has concerns about ongoing maintenance problems at Cheat Lake Park and is requiring answers to a list of questions by Aug. 22. FERC opens its letter to the company by recounting that it originally sought answers to a number of concerns back in January 2024: including trash removal; grounds maintenance; out of service sinks, toilets and water fountains; and exposed rusty metal at the playground. Lake Lynn filed a partial response in February, FERC said. But, 'as of the date of this letter, we still have several concerns regarding the upkeep and maintenance of these recreation facilities. Therefore, we are seeking additional information to help us determine if you are complying with your license requirements.' FERC said it has been notified that the restroom facilities are closed due to a severe water leak and that Lake Lynn is providing portable toilets as a temporary measure. 'Additionally, we continue to receive complaints that the water fountains are unusable.' Lake Lynn promised FERC in February 2024 that it would file a plan and schedule for repairs if it could not complete them by that April. 'To date, you have not provided the C\commission with a plan and schedule to return the facilities to service.' In a call with Lake Lynn staff, FERC said it learned there are talks about providing water bottle refill stations and the potential for a municipal water line to run to the park. 'However, no timeline for resolving the water outage was provided. It also remains unclear whether you are providing an [ADA-] accessible portable toilet.' FERC also noted ongoing problems with downed trees and debris accumulation at project recreation facilities. And it has received complaints that the interpretive displays and lighting along trails have not been receiving proper maintenance and cleaning, and that the displays are difficult to read. 'Based on the information provided,' FERC told Lake Lynn, 'it is not clear how quickly or frequently you respond to the maintenance and public safety needs, when identified, and whether the interpretative displays and trail lighting are functional.' Because of these concerns, FERC wants information on these issues: A plan and schedule for fixing the water leak and returning the restrooms and water fountains at Cheat Lake Park into service, including interim measures for providing potable water. Photo documentation that Lake Lynn is providing a wheelchair-accessible portable toilet while the restrooms are out of service, or a plan and schedule to do so. A detailed history of the frequency of general ground maintenance over the past two years, specifically including debris removal, the location of downed trees, and the frequency of downed tree clearing. Photo documentation that the interpretive displays are legible and documentation that the trail lighting is in good working order, or a plan and schedule to resolve any remaining maintenance issues. A detailed summary of any recent vandalism at recreation sites throughout the project; Lake Lynn's opinion on whether current security measures, protocols, patrols, etc., are sufficient at deterring vandalism and keeping up with maintenance at project recreation facilities; and if not, a plan and schedule to increase security measures to address the vandalism.
