Council Member Antoinette Lee's acknowledgment of the area's poor infrastructure highlights a broader issue that affects not only Antioch but also other parts of the city. The condition of roads and water pipes in many Nashville neighborhoods has been a longstanding concern, and this project may be a step towards addressing these problems.
