Dear Councilmembers,
I am writing to ask you to support council bill 2016-493, which would change requirements for the provision of sidewalks during development in our urban areas and along transit corridors.
Nashville desperately needs more sidewalks. According to the WalkNBike Plan only 37% of streets currently have pedestrian accommodations.
Insert personal comments on why walking and/or sidewalks are important to you. If you like any points of the bill feel free to include those as well.
Thank you for your consideration.
