Recommendations pitched Friday offer a glimpse of what Second Avenue in Nashville could look like after the reconstruction of the historic buildings disfigured by the Christmas Day bombing.
A riverfront park would connect the redefined Market Street District to the river, mirroring the opposite bank and providing potential opportunities for water transportation from shore to shore. More trees and planters along each of the streets would bring more greenery and offer pedestrians protection from traffic.
The plan would preserve the buildings historic facades, and temporary elimination of selective street parking would open the possibility for outdoor dining.
The total estimated cost for those projects would range from $58 million to $82 million and take an estimated five to seven years to complete.
