Mayor Freddie O'Connell said Friday that he expects to know more about whether a November transit referendum is feasible "by the end of the month."

He also announced the temporary hiring of Vanderbilt's Michael Briggs as director of transportation planning in the lead-up to a potential referendum. Briggs' appointment is in partnership with Vanderbilt, where Briggs is the director of mobility, and he is expected to return to the university in less than two years, O'Connell told reporters.
