NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Get out and get active! That’s the goal for Sunday's Open Streets Nashville event in South Nashville on Antioch Pike. It’s an effort to walk, bike, skate, and dance in an area that’s typically occupied. Antioch Pike will be shut down from noon to 5 p.m. from Wright Middle to Glencliff Elementary.
Open Streets Nashville temporarily closes streets to cars, encouraging community connection, physical activity, and support for local businesses. There will be a Community Zone, an Arts and Culture Zone, and an Activity Zone along the route.
Families can also tour the nearby Glencliff Elementary gardens, have a poem written by local poets, enjoy a Titans tailgate, and connect with neighbors in the streets.
Open Streets is brought to the community by Mayor Freddie O’Connell, NDOT, and Amazon.

You'll love her and you'll love to hate her! Meet Trashley: the bad girl of Nashville littering. She stars in a new campaign that's a throwback to an anti-litter movement from years past. Her role has been reimagined by NDOT as a fast-paced, Dukes of Hazzard-style wrecking ball of a lady. You'll find yourself cracking up as you meet the actress behind Trashley and hear how she landed the role of Queen of Trash.
