Transit Together with The Islamic Center of Nashville -

Question 1: What immediate mobility challenges are you facing right now?

There are not enough biking lanes for cyclists. I am forced to use greenways only. Nashville lacks bike/cyclist protections.
Nashville lacks contiguous sidewalks. Sidewalks don’t connect neighborhoods and some neighborhoods don’t even have sidewalks
Public transportation should be run on renewable energy
Lack of lighting on Charlotte Pike for early AM school attendance. Dangerous walking conditions for students attending the International Academy.
Leaving the mosque parking lot is a challenge @ Charlotte (7337)
Safety and security of children @ private school
Speeding cars past the school/mosque
Lack of public transit (bus) for school kids
Living on Hwy 70 and wanting to go to Walmart? You’d have to go all the way downtown first and then get on Charlotte Ave route to get there. Lack of connection / crosstown routes in the bus system. The centralized hub makes it challenging to make the bus make sense for most people.
Afghan refugees lack access to transit as they have a lack of personal vehicles. They are all spread out across Dickerson Pike, Smyrna, etc.
The two large shopping centers in West Nashville (Nashville West, Bellevue Plaza, Walmart, Lowes, Home Depot) are not connected.
Lack of reliability and connectivity in the bus network
Safety- The bus stops and the downtown WeGo Central are not safe. You might need an actual officer present. Comments about drug use, unclean smells, and stops at Central and other stops.

Question 2: What are some solutions that you would propose to help alleviate some of these concerns?
