The Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County has approved a Bloomberg Philanthropies Asphalt Art Project grant application for $100,000. The grant will support the Jubilee Bridge Area Revitalization (JBAR) Project, improving pedestrian spaces through sidewalk art, murals, and an infographic wall at JBAR Park at 1919 19th Avenue North. It will also fund crosswalk upgrades at Jefferson Street and DB Todd Jr. Boulevard, Jo Johnston Avenue and DB Todd Jr. Boulevard, and Jo Johnston Avenue and 17th Avenue North, along with bike lane visibility improvements on DB Todd Jr. Boulevard between Albion Street and Jackson Street. The initiative aims to enhance public safety, promote alternative transportation, and create vibrant, walkable urban spaces.
This grant-funded project will enhance pedestrian safety, improve public spaces, and promote multimodal transportation in Nashville. The initiative supports tactical urbanism and revitalization efforts in a historically significant area.
