Nashville's New Plan: Remove Downtown Interstates
11 October 2004 - 9:00am
The new 'Plan of Nashville' offers a new vision of downtown which replaces the interstate loop that circles downtown with parks and mixed use development.
Nashville should "tear down the interstate loop that circles downtown and replace it with boulevards, parks and residential and commercial developments that reconnect the city's urban core with its surrounding neighborhoods, the Nashville Civic Design Center said yesterday... The plan represents what the group would like the city to become over the next 50 years, encompasses several areas and is not intended as a concrete to-do list, its developers said."
