Future
On December 2, 2005, TDOT (Tennessee Department of Transportation) announced that the preferred alignment for the Mack Hatcher Parkway Western Extension would be Alternate G. This route, 7.5 miles (12.1 km) long, begins at U.S. Route 31 / State Route 6 south of Franklin (the Columbia Highway) and ends at U.S. Route 431 / State Route 106 north of Franklin (Hillsboro Road). It will go around the west side of Franklin. The Western Extension will create a complete perimeter around Franklin, divert through traffic from the city, and provide easy access to other nearby routes.

Famous quotes containing the word future:
“The yuppie idea of the future ain’t my idea of a future. Your safe car, and home, and job, and all the time rushing between the three—let’s make people feel they can grow up and have some education, some interest in life! That’s what counts!”
—Joe Strummer (b. 1952)
“We stand at once the wonder and admiration of the whole world, and we must enquire what it is that has given us so much prosperity, and we shall understand that to give up that one thing, would be to give up all future prosperity. This cause is that every man can make himself.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“It is given to few to add the store of knowledge, to strike new springs of thought, or to shape new forms of beauty. But so sure as it is that men live not by bread, but by ideas, so sure is it that the future of the world lies in the hands of those who are able to carry the interpretation of nature a step further than their predecessors.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
