In recent days, I have had a lot of questions about Nashville's sidewalk to roadway ratio. It is a little hard to wrap your head around the ratio so I drew a picture of it.
Nashville
0.45 miles of sidewalks to 1 mile of roadways
Population > 600k

To clarify, compare Nashville to Minneapolis. There, all roads are essentially lined with sidewalks on both sides! Imagine!
Minneapolis
1.97 miles of sidewalks to 1 mile of roadways
Population 400k
Minneapolis

If Minneapolis can sidewalk their city with a significantly smaller population - can't Nashville???
