Battlefield Drive between Belmont and 10th Avenue in Nashville's 12 South neighborhood is home to many families with young children and pets. There are currently no sidewalks, and the speed limit of 35 mph is unsafe for pedestrians. We are asking the Metropolitan Government of Nashville to add a sidewalk to protect the families in our neighborhood.

I am gathering materials for a formal presentation to the city council. The stories you shared in the comments prove how dangerous this street has become.

This is critical and affects every resident -sidewalks are needed in our neighborhood to connect parks, schools, homes and businesses.
My husband and I are concerned for the safety of our small child and all the children, pedestrians, and pets who live and walk on Battlefield. Sidewalks would go a long way toward improving our safety. Ours is a little neighborhood road that unfortunately serves as a cut-through between the major thoroughfares of Granny White/12th and Belmont, and I would love to see the speed limit (35) lowered to below the speed limit of Belmont (30). Speed bumps of course would help too.
We need sidewalks in the neighborhoods for both safety, and as an alternative means of travel to car. With Nashville growth - we must think about moving people on foot safely and slowing down the speed limit on this street!
People drive down battlefield going over 50 mph with no regard for people walking. It is NOT Safe for my family. Side walks will be step one. Step two, speed traps. People should not be using our road as a cut through. Please help!!
I often see the city bus speeding through the neighborhood (with no riders, of course) going from Battlefield to McNairy. Something needs to be done to slow traffic speed.
Speed limit of 35mph is too high for residential. Sidewalks are needed as well.
Bring it all the down Battlefield and we're in!

Such an important issue. If not sidewalks, then what about speed humps or perhaps a lowered MPH? Another idea that could help traffic calming: build a roundabout on Granny White Pike at Battlefield.
