Athena Network Community Feedback Ride – May 2026
The Nashville Department of Transportation and Multimodal Infrastructure and Bike Fun invite you to join us for a community bike ride exploring changes to the bike network around Midtown. This project has now moved into the 60-90% design phase and we need your help to finalize details!
The Athena Bikeways project will plan, design, and construct multimodal safety and mobility improvements – including high quality, low stress bikeways – on several streets in Midtown connecting to Centennial Park.
The project includes the following streets:
- 25th Avenue North from Elliston Place to Charlotte Avenue
- Patterson Street from 25th Avenue North to Bar-B-Que Alley
- 29th Avenue North from West End Avenue to 31st Avenue North
- Acklen Park Drive from Murphy Road to Long Blvd
- Long Blvd from Acklen Park Drive to 31st Avenue North
- Burch Avenue from 31st Avenue North to 29th Avenue North
You can see project information here.
Bike Fun can provide up to 10 bikes for riders who need one. RSVPs are helpful but not required if you have your own bicycle. If you need a bicycle, you must RSVP so we can bring an appropriately sized bicycle for you.
Riders ages 10+ are welcome on this ride; parent/guardian must accompany ages 10-17.
Outdoor events are weather pending – for events requiring registration, participants will be notified about cancellations via text or email. For non-registration events, please contact us or keep an eye on our social media platforms for up-to-date information.
