The Clarksville City Council unanimously adopted Resolution 23, approving the city’s legislative agenda for presentation to the 114th Tennessee General Assembly.

Councilman Streetman, sponsor of the resolution, described the agenda as a focused set of requests developed over several committee meetings and with staff input. “We work to have a very focused list for us to be able to present to our legislators, understanding the fact that they have a limited number of bills that they're able to bring forward each session,” Streetman said, thanking staff and committee members for their work.

The adopted agenda includes multiple transportation and infrastructure priorities, among them widening Interstate 24 from the Kentucky state line to I‑65 in Nashville, widening Ashland City Road (from Madison Street to South Riverside Drive/Cumberland Drive), advancing State Route 374 (Warfield Boulevard) and its PE/NEPA process, and widening State Route 237 (Rossview) from west of Kingsburg Road to SR‑374. The agenda packet also lists enhanced code violation fees, a fire station safety improvement grant program, hospital transparency measures, and land bank legislation.

Council members praised the committee’s work. Councilman Holloman said the list was sensible and not politically controversial: “I really like this. I like the work you've done and I appreciate you adding again the widening of the Ashland City Road.” Councilman Smith asked for clarification about specific items on the agenda; Streetman pointed members to the packet that breaks the proposals into categories and implementation steps.

The council voted 13-0 to approve the resolution. Streetman said the committee intends to present the agenda to state legislators as a group following the council’s adoption.

The resolution will be forwarded to the city’s legislative contacts for consideration by the Tennessee General Assembly. Specific bill filing, sponsorship and state funding timelines were not part of the council vote and will be pursued through the city’s legislative outreach process.
