Move

Greenway Audit Series

Community powered insights.
Safer spaces for all.

Free to Move is partnering with Greenways for Nashville and Metro Council to identify safety gaps throughout the greenways system. Together, our united voices will shape data-driven improvements across Nashville’s green spaces.

​

From March–October 2026, community members will meet twice per month at greenways across Nashville to document key safety and usability factors, including:

  • Lighting

  • Sightlines and visibility

  • Trail surface conditions

  • Wayfinding and signage

  • Emergency access

  • Security features

  • Overall accessibility & user experience

We will analyze the collected data to produce clear, actionable, data-driven recommendations that help create safer, more accessible greenways for everyone.

 

Join us because—when communities lead, safer spaces follow.
