The Metropolitan Transit Authority asked Wilbur Smith Associates
to examine the feasibility of a light rail transit from Downtown
Nashville to West End. The Final Report ('99) defines a specific
alignment and configuration and compares a rail to a bus transit
system.
The rail system would be in single track down West End from 17th
to Murphy Road, running one-way with priority control of traffic lights.... (more on route).
The Final Report ('99) makes abundantly clear that a rail transit service for a downtown distribution service is much less attractive than rubber tire alternatives.
