Metro Passes ATIIP Grant RS2026-2284 for East Nashville Spokes
Metro Council passed RS2026-2284 on Sept. 15, 2026, approving NDOT’s ATIIP grant agreement ATII-26-0005-TN for East Nashville Spokes bike and pedestrian work.
Metro Council on September 15, 2026, passed RS2026-2284: a resolution approving a grant agreement for an Active Transportation Infrastructure Investment Program (ATIIP) grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation to the Metropolitan Government through the Nashville Department of Transportation & Multimodal Infrastructure (NDOT), Agreement No. ATII-26-0005-TN (Proposal No. 2026M-052AG-001).
For East Nashville homeowners near the Woodland Street corridor, that vote is the funding unlock for East Nashville Spokes bike and pedestrian work — the same night the Council also deferred a separate right-on-red fight.

Dollar figures reported for East Nashville Spokes
The Nashville Banner’s Sept. 15 Metro Council guide states: The grant is for $9.36 million, with a local match of $7.98 million from Choose How You Move funds. It describes the initiative as including bike and pedestrian improvements in the Woodland Street area, and notes the project had been put on hold because of funding disruptions under the Trump administration before this acceptance resolution.
Those figures are the Banner’s reporting on the Council action. The Legistar title confirms the ATIIP agreement number and NDOT role without reprinting the dollar lines in the short title field. Homeowners should cite both when they brief a buyer: agreement ID from Legistar, dollar and corridor detail from the Banner’s on-the-record Council guide.
Why a bike-ped grant shows up in home-sale underwriting
Protected lanes and sidewalk rebuilds change how a buyer experiences Woodland Street: construction staging, temporary parking loss, curb-cut rebuilds, and long-term walkability premiums. East Bank and downtown connectivity themes in the ATIIP purpose language also matter to investors who price East Nashville as a commute-to-core product.
Sellers should ask NDOT which blocks are in the ATIIP design/construction sequence before promising uninterrupted driveway access through a build season. Buyers should put transportation-project contingencies in writing if their showing path crosses active Spokes segments.
Start with a free home valuation that separates construction-year noise from long-term access value, or ask about a cash offer if your next purchase cannot wait on a multimodal build calendar.
What’s happening in Nashville this week
- Confirm RS2026-2284’s final online text and exhibits once Metro posts the adopted packet.
- Ask NDOT for the Woodland Street segment map tied to Agreement No. ATII-26-0005-TN.
- Keep the right-on-red substitute calendar (separate Sept. 15 deferral) out of your Spokes listing remarks unless both files truly affect the same intersection.
- If you sell near East Bank, pair Spokes access language with whatever TIF or stadium-adjacent files you already track.
Nashville homeowners who need to sell before they buy should treat multimodal grant acceptance as calendar risk and access upside at the same time. Woodland Street construction windows can stretch across peak showing seasons, so update your MLS access notes when NDOT posts lane closures. Buyers comparing East Nashville to Germantown or East Bank should price temporary parking loss separately from the long-term bike-ped amenity. Bring the agreement number to NDOT, then decide whether list price or possession date must move.

How much federal and local money did the Banner report for East Nashville Spokes?

The Legistar title says the agreement is to address critical barriers to mobility and economic vitality by integrating dedicated bikeways and pedestrian pathways to ensure safe, seamless travel for all residents of Davidson County.
What should East Nashville sellers near Woodland Street watch?
Bike and pedestrian construction can change curb cuts, on-street parking, and construction staging. Ask NDOT which Woodland Street segments are in the ATIIP scope before you promise a buyer uninterrupted driveway access through a build season.
Homeowners who need to sell before they buy should treat local government calendars as part of the underwriting file. Bring the exact case number, tax map, or agenda item to staff, then decide whether list price, inspection length, or possession date needs to move. A free home valuation and a cash-offer conversation are tools for that decision — not substitutes for reading the primary packet yourself.
Buyers should put utility, zoning, and transportation contingencies in writing when a live file sits next door. Sellers should disclose what is known, attach the agenda link, and avoid predicting a vote that has not been recorded. That discipline keeps East Tennessee closings on schedule when Council or Board calendars slip a week.
When a packet lists a recommendation rather than a final ordinance, keep your MLS remarks factual: cite the case number, the meeting date, and what staff actually wrote. Do not promise a buyer a completion date that depends on a board that has not yet voted. If your next purchase cannot wait, ask about a cash offer or start with a free home valuation so pricing reflects calendar risk instead of wishful timing.
