Over the past two years, the Tennessee RiverLine has conducted the Community Planning Initiative (CPI) in select communities enrolled in its Tennessee RiverTowns Program. The Tennessee RiverLine gathered feedback from community members through surveys and in-person discovery sessions regarding how they currently access and enjoy the Tennessee River and captured their visions for enhanced river use. Tennessee RiverLine’s Planning and Design team, in collaboration with the Local Leadership Teams in each community, used the information to develop conceptual ideas for riverfront infrastructure that would provide better access to the river and create new and improved experiences both on and by the river. The upcoming series of open house events provides communities the opportunity to see the conceptual designs through renderings and research outcomes and provide input to further refine the ideas put forth by the Tennessee RiverLine. The conceptual designs to be exhibited include new riverfront parks, walking and biking paths, boat launches and pavilions that enhance quality of life for residents and provide ecotourism opportunities for visitors.
