Purpose
The purpose of this memo is to provide information to the Franklin Board of Mayor and Aldermen (BOMA) concerning the status of some of the City’s transportation projects.
Project Status

Key Dates: Design Start - August 14, 2007 (BOMA Approval); Re-Design Completion - January 2015; ROW Start - December 2009; ROW Completion - June 2012; Construction - Not Funded

Status Update: TDOT has agreed to build the full intersections at SR96, Hillsboro Road and Del Rio Pike as a part of the 2-lane Mack Hatcher Parkway construction. On February 17, 2016, the Nashville Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) Executive Board approved the 2040 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). Being listed in this plan is the first step for transportation projects to receive federal funding. The Mack Hatcher Parkway NW Extension is listed as one of the short term projects for funding. Ultimately though, the decision to proceed with construction lies with TDOT.
