Bicycle & Pedestrian Plan

Published January 29, 2009

If you would like to see more sidewalks and bike paths in your community, now is the time to let your voice be heard. The Nashville Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is working to develop a comprehensive Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan for the greater Nashville region, including Williamson County.

Williamson County residents can give their input on the project by participating in an online survey. The survey, which can be found by going to www.nashvillempo.org, provides an opportunity for residents to share their thoughts and priorities for making communities in the greater Nashville region more walk-able and bike-friendly.

Data collected from the survey will be used to plan future bike routes, bike lanes, sidewalks, and greenways and highlight existing facilities in need of improvement. When completed, the plan will become part of the 2035 Regional Transportation Plan that will set funding and project priorities in the region for the next several decades.

In addition to the online survey, there will also be a public meeting for Williamson County residents February 23 at the Franklin First United Methodist Church. The meeting will be held from 5:30 p.m. until 7:30 p.m.
