Exit 8: Staff said the Exit 8 project remains on TDOT's 10-year plan; the overall estimate remains roughly $35.5 million, with the city's current share budgeted at about $4.9 million for right-of-way. The city is in right-of-way but must finalize NEPA/environmental documentation because federal funds require a different environmental approval; staff estimated NEPA clearance within roughly three months and a 36-month construction estimate after funding. No committee action was requested.

Signal synchronization (phase 2): Staff reported an increased estimate and that TDOT and the CMAQ program agreed to contribute approximately $200,000 in additional funds. GNRC approved an amendment to accept those funds and staff anticipated a bid letting in late 2025 with construction and completion likely in 2026. Staff said the project will install new radar detection and fisheye video detection at 31 intersections to improve signal timing on Main Street, New Shackle Island Road and other main corridors.

West Main Street ADA improvements: The project is funded by a state multimodal accessibility grant covering 95% of costs (city 5% share). The grant has a $1 million cap; staff revised the scope to focus on major intersections (curb ramps and pedestrian signals) rather than the full corridor because right-of-way needs would otherwise consume available funds. Staff is beginning right-of-way acquisition for the revised scope.

Maple Boulevard stormwater improvements: Staff have issued a notice to proceed for construction using ARPA WIP funds for construction. Early utility relocation work is underway and staff expects the project to finish in January 2026.

Transportation CIP implementation: Staff reviewed the ranked list of projects and said $3 million in city funds is currently budgeted for the CIP in FY26. That funding is expected to support design, preliminary engineering, and limited right-of-way for several red-checked priority projects, including conceptual and preliminary work on New Shackle Island Road widening (386 to Stop 30), Dayflower right-turn improvements, and an Innsbrook at Saundersville conceptual roundabout. Staff noted voluntary impact fees paid by new developments could be appropriated to specific local projects.

Committee members encouraged staff to explore use of developer credits for impact fees to incentivize on-the-ground construction rather than collecting small amounts into many separate accounts. No formal votes were required for these project updates.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Hendersonville Capital Projects Committee 8/11/2025","oneSentenceSummary","The committee discussed multiple transportation projects including Exit 8, signal synchronization phase 2, West Main ADA improvements, Maple Boulevard stormwater construction and broader transportation CIP implementation and prioritization.","taxTitle","Hendersonville, Sumner County, Tennessee","taxId",4108,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":44,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6483873,"Committee authorizes mayor to begin right-of-way acquisition for Cherokee Road culvert; design funded by ARPA WIP",490,1682000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5561711-138e9d555231a6aa60ccde2547b169a8&start=1682&end=2172","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5561711-138e9d555231a6aa60ccde2547b169a8/thumbnail_1682000.jpg","/articles/6483873/Hendersonville/Sumner-County/Tennessee/Committee-authorizes-mayor-to-begin-right-of-way-acquisition-for-Cherokee-Road-culvert-design-funded-by-ARPA-WIP","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6483873-5a0e6a6af79264db0a8f36912f6b9217/orig.mp4?Expires=1770541894&Signature=Zn3~0tJmTcV0BG464Mz6fdeXzvQ~OLqZToI4EfZIwG6~L4Th~FPu8Qh5FLI9TNMDVNUrK0aPP-R0C8fIkjArMONUA5ROvQyLx4QtzJUAkOkzsrQNaiEFMq8iZGiqH8fpZshUolXl1mF37cDaCVUcQpyfT-Coib~05V0rfLG81TEQwupiogoIuhGpm37o1xuEzKJzGsA4mnXg2mJBK1O~CD0axesQXySjlDheUg87UaFxaRl2Huzl5CEKdB~l3VqJUHyQ9GF6cW2ReG8enMimBwCbFfMScp~WGJfSQNEA~2opp65S-bfzftMnk97eD1AT0xSQcQRZ78lcgR4OQ3nZLQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Capital Projects Committee unanimously authorized the mayor to execute the contract and begin right-of-way acquisition for the Cherokee Road culvert project, which staff described as a preliminary phase of the city's transportation capital improvement plan.

Sarah said design for the culvert is complete and had been funded through ARPA WIP dollars. The total current estimate for the project, including design, is approximately $850,000. She said the construction and right-of-way phases would be funded 100% by the city and that the bid letting was estimated for 2027 to allow time for right-of-way work.

Sarah described the existing box culvert as 48 feet wide and said the design upsizes the culvert to 58 feet to provide the conveyance necessary to pass a 100-year storm event; the expanded opening also positions the corridor for possible future roadway widening. She said staff will coordinate closely with two nearby school properties where permanent easements and temporary construction easements are needed; the easements are primarily on school property and staff did not anticipate opposition from the school system.

On the motion, the mover asked staff to prioritize early coordination with property owners before appraisals and to avoid surprises when offers are made. The committee approved the motion unanimously.

Staff said the project team will continue outreach with the school system and other property owners and will return with appraisals and acquisition updates as the process proceeds.","The committee approved a motion authorizing the mayor to execute contracts and begin right-of-way acquisition for an upsized culvert on Cherokee Road near Hendersonville High School; design was funded with ARPA WIP funds and the $850,000 estimate covers design and foreseeable work.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6483877,"Committee endorses stamped concrete aesthetic for Drakes Creek (Stop 30) bridge; project remains on multi-year schedule",928,748000,1676000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5561711-138e9d555231a6aa60ccde2547b169a8&start=748&end=1676","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5561711-138e9d555231a6aa60ccde2547b169a8/thumbnail_748000.jpg","/articles/6483877/Hendersonville/Sumner-County/Tennessee/Committee-endorses-stamped-concrete-aesthetic-for-Drakes-Creek-Stop-30-bridge-project-remains-on-multi-year-schedule","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6483877-c536ad11bb4353f8620c803294811ba0/orig.mp4?Expires=1770541894&Signature=BGMRVcW42MlR0jvGPemrGqYUiZxM6YekdBaRkCRY0m6rogaCEfMORbpJTVUEApoRCvA0PWVGNkKJOylFU0ypUIcJBCgISbVVzGODFDi6-fLPk7s2jMvmBRPnlx8RHsuIVo2Mw-K3VWrUwIDdtfKoWvAPMk4xwkHiG6xDorq5u1QN5yYDDfu4TgutBB17v18Zpv4BWCDXBVivUFhDQ~Yfc-Da3trkTONBb3aOXV7IIDEFFIUuCWujUBCLYAoFSRw~4gXalukDE4KKSGGiivbXfUii-s7EowClfDt23gk0uvEf1N3V~KwnY-XF563-2oXvD9kzCdq7nJM6-eRsJeue4A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Capital Projects Committee voted unanimously to pursue a plain stamped concrete aesthetic (option 1) for the Drakes Creek Stop 30 bridge and directed staff to proceed with that aesthetic as part of the ongoing project planning.

Sarah, the project lead, said Drakes Creek Stop 30 Intersection improvements are ranked No. 4 in the city's transportation capital improvement plan and currently carry an overall estimated construction cost of about $7,000,000. She said the project is in right-of-way acquisition; of the 13 tracts identified, 11 closings are complete and two mortgage releases remain outstanding. \"We have the agreements; we're just waiting on the mortgage releases for those two,\" Sarah said.

Sarah attributed an approximately one-year slide in the anticipated groundbreaking schedule to the right-of-way process and an array of required approvals, including GNRC and FHWA obligations if additional funding is needed. She estimated construction would take about two years once started. Committee members stressed the need to accelerate right-of-way work where possible; staff described a 10-day letter tool that can prompt mortgage holders to act, but warned it has trade-offs.

Committee members discussed decorative and low-maintenance options for the bridge. Sarah said consultants prepared several options; planning staff recommended fixtures with top shields to reduce glare and preserve dark-sky considerations. The committee agreed preference for a low-maintenance stamped concrete finish that better matches the city's aesthetic but noted the budget will determine feasibility. \"If it's $175,000, it's quite acceptable; if it's a million dollars, the conversation is over,\" one member said.

The committee approved a motion to proceed with the project and to adopt the plain stamped concrete aesthetic option as its preference; the vote was unanimous.

Staff noted the project is 80/20 grant-funded for some phases and that more detailed cost estimates will be updated as design and bidding progress. When the committee asked about communication with nearby neighborhoods, staff committed to community outreach similar to previous corridor projects once construction nears.

The committee asked staff to evaluate stamped/colored concrete costs before final budget decisions and to present options to the committee or BOMA if additional funding or GNRC/TDOT coordination is needed.","The committee approved using a plain stamped concrete finish for the Drakes Creek (Stop 30) bridge and discussed schedule, right-of-way holds and decorative options.

Sarah (capital projects staff) said the city has budgeted roughly $2,300,000 this fiscal year for replacement of public street lights in the NES service area and noted an additional $600,000 had been budgeted elsewhere for parts but was not included in her presentation. \"This is something that the city has been talking about for probably 5 years or so,\" she said, adding the work would be a city project with no grant funding attached.

Sarah told the committee the project is in the initiation phase and staff expected to sign contracts within about a month. If contracting proceeds on that schedule, staff estimated breaking ground in January and completing the work by September 2026. Todd Vaughn was listed as the project manager present for the presentation.

Committee members pressed staff for operating-budget impacts and details about coverage. Sarah said first-year operating savings were estimated at $160,000, with an assumed 3% annual increase in power costs meaning savings could rise to roughly $280,000 per year over 20 years. She said the conversion covers just over 2,200 street lights in the NES service area and does not include lights owned by Cumberland Electric, which represent about 10% of the city's street lights.

Jeff Sasse asked whether NES would convert lights if the city did nothing. Sarah replied NES would convert lights as part of its own initiative over roughly five years, \"but the benefit of doing the project now is the immediate cost savings,\" because the city would realize reduced operating costs earlier.

Sarah explained procurement relied on Tennessee statutory authority for certain energy-related municipal improvements and that PATH is an approved contractor for NES projects. The motion adopted by the committee authorized the mayor to execute the contract with PATH as the selected contractor, \"subject to the city attorney looking at it and the conditions that he may or may not have,\" as the mover added.

The vote was unanimous.

Committee members asked staff to provide an update to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen (BOMA) as part of the COO's or mayor's report; staff noted routine maintenance, repair responsibility and decorative fixture options would be coordinated with NES. The committee also discussed decorative fixture choices and planning staff recommendations to reduce glare and improve dark-sky performance.","The Hendersonville Capital Projects Committee voted unanimously to approve a $2.3 million city-funded project to convert NES-area streetlights to LED and authorized the mayor to sign a contract with PATH, subject to city attorney review.","actionData","errors"]
