Today is Giving Tuesday. Many Nashvillians generously give to large civic minded institutions such as Cheekwood and the Symphony Center. The Sidewalk Foundation hopes to make the list but we are just at the beginning of our work. Our goal is the building of NEW sidewalks in Nashville. As we are all well aware, NEW sidewalk production in our 532 sq mile city/county of Nashville is woefully behind. We have 1900 miles to go and are averaging a pitiful 1-2 miles per year. This means our sidewalk network will be completed in 1000 YEARS!
The Sidewalk Foundation hopes to make the sidewalk grid complete in a much more reasonable amount of time. This is a public/private venture dedicated to NEW SIDEWALKS.
PLEASE CONSIDER A DONATION ON THIS VERY SPECIAL DAY:

On a positive note, Hillsboro Circle at Bandywood has new bollards creating a safety island mid-crosswalk. This also help left hand turners make the proper arc rather than cutting the corner straight into the crosswalk.
This is a significant improvement and much appreciated!
