Project Description
Status: begin 90% Design Phase

The estimated construction start date is March 2025.
Vision Zero
Though McGavock Pike is not identified on the Vision Zero High Injury Network, its intersection with Gallatin Pike places it along the High Injury Network. Gallatin Pike is characterized as a corridor with some of the highest number of injuries experienced by pedestrians and motorists.
WalknBike
Both McGavock Pike and Gallatin Pike contain projects within the Sidewalk Priority Network, and this specific project falls into the Walk Bike workplan for 2022-2024. This project is prioritized to enhance connectivity, access to transit, and create a safer crossing for pedestrians using the corridor.
