Walk, pedal, or roll to Centennial Sportsplex on Thursday, July 18 for an opportunity to voice your feedback about Nashville’s multimodal transportation projects — in other words, projects that concern public transportation, rail and waterways, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic.

NDOT is hosting the Midtown Road-eo Festival in the ADA room from 5 p.m. until 7 p.m. to discuss transportation-related issues, including the Choose How You Move program. Two Midtown-focused projects, the Church Street Bikeway and Athena Bikeways, will be of primary focus:

  • Church Street Bikeway | Included in the Connect Downtown plan, stretching from Downtown to Midtown via Church Street and Elliston Place, and seeking to increase pedestrian and bicyclist safety
  • Athena Bikeways | Covers the addition of bicycle facilities, complete street improvements connecting multiple Midtown streets, and considers an ADA-compliant multi-use trail across the northwest corner of Centennial Park

Bonus: Expect door prizes and snacks.
