The Metropolitan Council passed a resolution to request that the Tennessee General Assembly name the Gallatin Pike bridge over State Route 155 (Briley Parkway) as the 'Representative Carson W. ‘Bill’ Beck Memorial Bridge.' Representative Beck, who passed away in 2023, served in the state legislature for nearly a decade, representing various parts of Nashville. The resolution honors his legacy as a dedicated public servant, highlighting his legislative work on issues like parental leave and education funding, as well as his deep involvement in numerous community organizations. Known for his gregarious personality, he was a beloved figure often called the 'Prince of Madison.'
