Vanderbilt Poll Reveals Nashville Residents Skepticism Towards Elon Musks Music City Loop

A recent Vanderbilt poll indicates that a majority of Nashville residents are against Elon Musks proposed Music City Loop, an underground tunnel connecting the airport to downtown. The poll, conducted in late February to mid-March, found that 51% of respondents oppose the project when Musks name is mentioned, up from 35% without it. The opposition is particularly strong among those who identify with a political party, with attitudes split along party lines. The Nashville Metro Council recently passed a symbolic no-vote on the project due to its limited local control, as it only tunnels under state land. The project, which aims to use Tesla SUVs and autonomous robovans, is set to begin in February and is expected to be completed by 2027. Despite growing opposition, the project is moving forward, with state lawmakers pushing for a new authority for statewide oversight on such tunnels.
