Improvements on Hillsboro Road

6:54 pm | Friday, May 20th

| No Comments

This project is the second phase of the overall Hillsboro Road Improvements Project, creating roadway and utility infrastructure upgrades to Hillsboro Road, State Route 106. Aspects of this project include:

Widening from a 2-lane roadway with shoulders to 3-lanes (includes a new center turn lane) with curb and gutter (widening is symmetrical along the roadway’s existing centerline); New 4.0’ Bike lanes on both sides; New 3.0’ grass strip with street trees; New 5.0’ sidewalk along both sides of the roadway, up to Claude Yates; New street lighting along both sides using decorative street light poles; Northbound right turn lanes (in addition to the 2 travel lanes and center turn lane) to be added in front of Franklin High School and at both of the Joel Cheek Blvd. and Claude Yates Drive Intersections; Installing a traffic control signal at Claude Yates Drive to help with Franklin High School Traffic; Upgrading the Joel Cheek Blvd. traffic signal; Relocating all overhead utilities into underground duct banks; Upgrading older and undersized water and sanitary sewer utility lines; and Installing a new storm water sewer system with catch basins and yard inlets. These upgrades take place in both State Rights-of-Way and City/Public Easements.

Project Length & Limits
Total project length is approximately 0.827 Miles.
Beginning: Along Hillsboro Road (SR-106), by Independence Square/1200 feet north of Del Rio Pike.
Ending: Along Hillsboro Road (SR-106), just south of the Mack Hatcher Parkway (SR-397) intersection.

Construction Timeframe
The construction contract was awarded to Eutaw Construction Company in March 2016. The contract time starts on April 18^th. You may see traffic control devices and erosion protection measures installed later in April. Actual construction will begin in early May. The project is scheduled to last 14 months, with completion by August 2017. This is an aggressive schedule for the contractor to follow, considering the vast amount of utility relocation work. The City will work closely with the local utility companies to make sure they help get this project completed in a timely manner.

Sandra Moody Sullivan Named “Ed Moody Award of Excellence” Recipient

8:23 pm | Sunday, May 15th

| No Comments

Boys & Girls Clubs of Middle Tennessee (BGCMT) announced Sandra Moody Sullivan as the recipient of the 4th “Ed Moody Award of Excellence.” She will accept the award at the 27th Annual Steak & Burger Dinner taking place on Thursday, May 5, 2016 in Jamison Hall in the Factory at Franklin.

Sullivan is the niece of the late Ed Moody and has been an after-school volunteer tutor at the Franklin Club for more than two years. She taught in the Williamson County Schools system for 42 years. The “Ed Moody Award of Excellence” honors the revered Williamson County businessman, who helped establish the Franklin Boys & Girls Club in 1989. Moody co-founded Moody Tire Co. after World War II with his brother, Tom, who was Sullivan’s father. Moody’s widow, Eileen, will present the award to her niece.

“I’m very honored to receive this award, particularly since it is named for my uncle Ed,” said Sullivan, daughter of the late Tom and Isabelle Moody. She is the mother of Lisa Carson, Rachel Sullivan, and the late Jennifer McGhee. “I started working with the Club in August of 2014, and I help the youth with whatever work they have, not just math,” Sullivan said.

Teaching children is nothing new for Sullivan, an Auburn University graduate who began her education career in 1963 in Columbus, GA. From 1970-1985, she taught at Lipscomb Elementary, and from 1986-2014 at Grassland Middle School. Sullivan had compiled 18 months of unused sick days upon her retirement.

A member of Franklin First United Methodist Church, Sullivan said she was surprised that she had been named to receive the Moody Award. “I’m a supporting player, not a star,” Sullivan said.

About the Steak & Burger Dinner

The Steak & Burger Dinner is one of Boys & Girls Clubs of Middle Tennessee’s oldest and most time honored traditions. While the event is a fundraiser, it is designed to honor Club members and engage supporters of our organization with the young people who benefit from their generosity. During the event, while all attendees gain inspiration from a keynote speaker, adults dine on finely prepared hamburgers while Club members are honored with special steak dinners, which for some,

may represent their very first steak dinner. The Steak & Burger Dinner incorporates an evening of good food, great entertainment, and interaction with Boys & Girls Clubs’ youth at each table.

Each table consists of six (6) adults and two (2) kids so that event attendees learn about the kids in a unique setting. Steak & Burger Dinner table sponsorships are $1,000 and include tickets for six guests and two Club members. Individual tickets are $125 each, which buys a burger for one adult and a steak dinner for a Club youth member. Top-tier levels include the $10,000 Presenting Sponsor, $7,500 Diamond Sponsor, $5,000 Gold Sponsor, and $2,500 Silver Sponsor.

Sponsors receive numerous advantages ranging from various advertisements to tickets and tables. Tickets and tables can be reserved at www.BGCMT.org. For sponsorship opportunities, please contact Denise Carothers, Area Director and Resource Development Director, Williamson County, at 615-628-8188 or dcarothers@bgcmt.org.
