Project Overview

The Antioch Pike Tactical Urbanism Project is a community-led effort facilitated by NDOT to reimagine a one-mile stretch of Antioch Pike from Nolensville Pike to McCall in South Nashville. This project seeks to address safety, mobility, and environmental concerns, creating a healthier, safer, and more livable corridor for residents and visitors. Tactical urbanism relies on community initiative to use temporary, low-cost tools to test out a new street design. It gives community members power to take the lead on envisioning a street that works for them. NDOT will consider long-term, permanent solutions based on the community-led process.

 

Timeline

In February 2024, NDOT met with community stakeholders, including Council Member Ginny Welsch, Glencliff Neighborhood Group, Cosecha Community Development, Wright Middle School, Walk Bike Nashville, and Civic Design Center. This site visit included a walk audit of Antioch Pike. NDOT addressed immediate maintenance needs on the street, including sidewalk repairs and crosswalk paint restriping. Community stakeholders agreed for NDOT to apply to the Tennessee Department of Health’s Healthy Built Environments grant for a tactical urbanism project and open streets event.

 

In June 2024, the Tennessee Department of Health sent NDOT a Notice of Award for the Healthy Built Environments Grant. NDOT has taken on the role as grant manager and has designated Civic Design Center to facilitate the tactical urbanism project and Walk Bike Nashville to facilitate the open street.

 

The Open Street is planned for November 3, 2024. Civic Design Center is currently engaging with community members to develop a tactical urbanism concept to submit to NDOT for approval. Civic Design Center expects to work with the community to implement the tactical urbanism project in spring 2025.

 

On December 15th, 2024, the Civic Design Center and NDOT will be attending Desfiles de Navidad Christmas Parade, hosted by Nashville Noticias. We hope to share some design ideas for Antioch Pike and get feedback from neighbors attending the event. These results will be shared in our blog at the end of the year.

My mental health suffers when I am woken up by loud cars, speeding/racing and worrying about the safety of my family.

Callie Alford-HollowayIt’s scary to do yard work near the road or collect my mail because of high speeds. We want to walk our dog more, but it’s stressful because of reckless speeds

My mental health was fine until I heard that Antioch Pike from Nolensville Pk to McCall was going to be 2 lane, so basically there WILL be tons of cars lined up just like on Antioch going to Sam's club. Do a traffic study for a week from school time til 7pm at night and see how m...See More

The lack of sidewalks in South Nashville make it really difficult to maintain a healthy, outdoor lifestyle and use non-vehicle modes of transportation.

Street races and speeders every. single. day. How about we get a MNPD radar unit on it at random, once a week? STreet racers killed an elderly gentleman turning from Southlake onto Antioch Pike.

Callie Alford-HollowayA barrier between the sidewalk and the road would go a long way in improving walkability and safety. Especially near schools, it would be great to have traffic slow to 1 lane, come to a full stop, or add bike lanes or buffers.

Curtis HallGlencliff/Antioch need ruble strips to slow down at the stop signs and for crosswalks. This is a must for that 4-way, there are many accidents there with people choosing not to stop or not come to a complete stops. I would also suggest a blinking red light on all corners to more ...See More

On the intersection of Glencliff Rd and Antioch near the elementary school entrance, you cannot see the stop sign when driving east. It causes accidents.

Devon CorcoranStreet trees would add so much value to Antioch Pk: air quality, summer temps for walkers, aesthetics, stormwater runoff control, etc.

More trees. Stop tearing down all the trees for two homes on one lot.

Speeders and street racers are a constant and continuing problem. How about we get a MNPD radar unit showing up at random once a week so word gets out NOT to speed on Antioch Pike between Nolensville Rd and where Antioch Pike meets McCall? Long overdue!!

Brenda BairdWhen you live 3 blocks away and can still hear cars speeding down Antioch Pike the noise pollution is way too loud.

Live on Antioch. Had to relocate our main bedroom downstairs instead to upstairs to the guest bedroom due to the racing strip that Antioch Pike has become.

GibI'd like to walk on this road more often, but due to the speed of the traffic and the noise, I choose to spend my time in other areas. I hope that this will change some day.
