NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) – When it rains, it pours. But along one particular Inglewood roadway, when it rains, cars crash like clockwork.

City leaders have been working toward a fix, but residents who live along Riverside Drive wonder what, if anything, could work.

For 20 years now, as soon as it rains, Kelly Keene’s lawn is caught in the cross-hairs.

His issues start just up Riverside Drive, near McGavock Pike, where the pavement winds, curves, and drops down a small hill.

“I don’t have a good remedy or solution,” Kelly explained. “But I’ve probably given this at least as much thought as anybody, living here so long.”

It’s a problem that’s persisted through the years. In the two decades since he moved to the area, Kelly says he deals with anywhere from two to four major crashes yearly right around his front yard.

Many times, neighbors have turned to a neighborhood Facebook page to vent.

Kelly now has a small collection of crash photos, and even has a plan in place for when he hears tires screech.

“We come out to make sure the driver, the passengers are OK,” he explained. “Based on what we see when we first look out, we decide if we’re calling 911 or not, which usually we do.”

City leaders are aware of the issue. Councilman Anthony Davis tells News 2 the speed limit along the roadway is being lowered, from 35 to 30 MPH.

He’s also hoping that newly marked bike lanes will be a speed deterrent.

The city had previously tried ‘rumble strips’ on both sides of the road near the curve but found this method to be ineffective.

“I’m having trouble now figuring out where I’m supposed to walk and run now to be safe,” Kelly added. “It’s just a matter of time before a cyclist or pedestrian gets hit.”
