During the recent Brentwood City Commission meeting, officials highlighted ongoing efforts to enhance cellular voice and data coverage in the area. The city is collaborating with Williamson County and private telecommunications companies to address the current limitations in cellular service. A key initiative involves creating a heat map to visually represent coverage gaps across Brentwood, which will help identify areas needing improvement.
City staff have also been tasked with reviewing existing regulations on cellular service to ensure they align with those in neighboring communities. This review aims to determine if updates are necessary, as the current codes have not been examined in some time.
In addition to cellular service discussions, the commission addressed the status of Old Smyrna Road, a project that has been under consideration for the past couple of years. Public meetings are being organized to engage the community and gather input on the road's future. The city has been proactive in promoting these meetings through social media, encouraging residents to participate and stay informed.
For those interested in the Old Smyrna Road project, a previous briefing from Sullivan Engineering is available on the city’s website. This session provided insights into the road's current conditions, potential alternatives, and associated costs, serving as a valuable resource for residents looking to understand the ongoing developments.
These discussions reflect the city’s commitment to improving infrastructure and connectivity for Brentwood residents, ensuring that community needs are met effectively.
