Choose How You Move

Choose How You Move (CHYM) identified McGavock Pike as an All-Access Corridor. The Choose How You Move planning and design will incorporate and tie into these McGavock Pike improvements with the future implementation of the All-Access Corridor.

Vision Zero

Though McGavock Pike is not identified on the Vision Zero High Injury Network, its intersection with Gallatin Pike places it along the High Injury Network. Gallatin Pike is characterized as a corridor with some of the highest number of injuries experienced by pedestrians and motorists.

WalknBike

Both McGavock Pike and Gallatin Pike contain projects within the Sidewalk Priority Network, and this specific project falls into the Walk Bike workplan for 2022-2024. This project is prioritized to enhance connectivity, access to transit, and create a safer crossing for pedestrians using the corridor.
