The East Nashville Water Infrastructure Replacement (WIR) project, led by Metro Water Services, will replace water lines and other infrastructure in the area between Dickerson Pike, Ellington Parkway, and Douglas Avenue, including the McFerrin Park and Cleveland Park neighborhoods. The project will be designed and constructed in phases over the next few years, starting with construction on the first phase in the southwestern section. Once construction on the water infrastructure is complete, Metro will repave the streets—providing an opportunity to improve transportation safety and mobility in the area.

There are several planned bikeways in the area, specifically Grace, Meridian, Cleveland, and Lischey streets. NDOT is currently gathering community feedback, completing technical analysis, and developing design concepts for multimodal transportation improvements in the neighborhood. These improvements will be designed as the water project is under construction, and the transportation improvements will be implemented in conjunction with repaving to follow the water project.
