Bill > SJR0684

This joint resolution expresses opposition to The Boring Company's proposed "Music City Loop" tunnel project in Nashville, Tennessee, citing significant concerns about the company's lack of transparency, inadequate engagement with the community and local elected officials (referred to as the Davidson County delegation), and troubling labor and safety practices, which have been documented in past projects. The resolution emphasizes that decisions regarding public land and infrastructure must prioritize the welfare, safety, and expressed needs of Nashville residents, contrasting the proposed tunnel, which is intended for exclusive use by airport travelers, with the community's desire for equitable mass transit solutions like those outlined in the "Choose How You Move Transportation Improvement Plan." It calls for The Boring Company to conduct public briefings, release all relevant studies, demonstrate compliance with labor and safety standards, engage transparently with all elected representatives, and provide contingency plans, while affirming that public land should only be used for public benefit and undergo rigorous review.
