Senate Joint Resolution 684, sponsored by Oliver, expresses strong opposition to The Boring Company's proposed "Music City Loop" tunnel project in Metropolitan Nashville and Davidson County. The resolution highlights concerns regarding the company's lack of transparency, inadequate engagement with the community and local legislators, and troubling labor and safety practices. It emphasizes that Nashville residents have not been meaningfully consulted about this significant infrastructure proposal, which could impact public safety, environmental conditions, and long-term transportation planning. The resolution calls for a transparent decision-making process that prioritizes the needs and welfare of Nashville residents, rather than speculative private ventures.

Furthermore, the resolution demands that The Boring Company engage in a formal public briefing with affected residents, release all relevant studies for independent review, and adhere to fair labor and safety standards. It asserts that public land should only be utilized for public benefit and that any infrastructure project must undergo rigorous evaluation and community review. The resolution ultimately seeks to ensure that Nashville's transportation solutions are equitable and centered on the needs of its residents, while upholding high standards of safety, labor protections, and environmental stewardship.
