Nashville Pushes for Pedestrian Broadway | Nashville News
Description
A Nashville resident is rallying for permanent pedestrian-only status on Lower Broadway after a deadly crash killed an Australian tourist and injured three others—sparking a petition nearing 500 signatures. Inspired by safer districts like Bourbon and Beale Streets, he’s canvassing the streets to push for change, arguing that car-free zones are vital for safety and community. While Broadway’s state-maintained status requires approval from both city and Tennessee DOT, officials say they’re exploring retractable bollards as part of broader safety efforts. With pedestrian deaths rising this year, the movement has gained urgent momentum across the city.
