Green Interchange has partnered with the Nashville Department of Transportation, the Civic Design Center, and Walk Bike Nashville to create a green and safe space along Cannon Street for multi-modal transportation. The federal funds that were secured for this project are now in jeopardy and are expected to be rescinded.
This project is important to us because this neighborhood has been identified as having low tree canopy, meaning there is less shade. On hot summer days, the surface temperature in this area is about 10 degrees hotter than in places with abundant tree cover. Napier Elementary students, who walk and bike to school along Cannon St., regularly experience the effects of this heat. Consider giving to help us keep this project going. You donation will support this project by funding the installation of native trees and pollinator plants at each intersection along Cannon Street, ensuring the long-term care of the plants, providing supplies to Napier students for community art installations along the street, as well as materials for other community engagement and educational activities. Be a part of creating a green, beautiful and safe space for this Nashville community, consider donating today. Comments are closed.
