Project story

The team formed a diverse stakeholder committee and met people at community events, creating more ways for residents who are often left out of planning processes to participate.

Fairpointe developed, distributed, and analyzed a public survey that reached more than 3,000 people. The final plan reflected input from youth, seniors, transit riders, people with disabilities, commuters, and residents across Nashville.

Outcome

A community-driven update that gave NDOT clearer direction for prioritizing sidewalk and bikeway projects.
