Are deck parks over highways effective in healing the urban grid, increasing public green space, reducing noine and encouraging surrounding development? Is the section of Interstate 40 between Church Street and 12th Avenue South a suitable location? This blog will document my study to asnwer these questions.

Nashville Existing Parks
I put this diagram together which outlines the existing parks in Nashville and their relation to the proposed deck park. The blue circle around the site represents a half mile radius, which is widely accepted as a comfortable walking distance. There are few options within the site. Notice that there are no parks near the gulch, which is a mixed use development started in the early 2000’s. It is located just southeast of the southeast corner of the site, near 12th avenue and division. This park would fulfill a void of open space between midtown and downtown.
