Deaderick Street, Tennessee’s first ‘green street’, connects the State Legislative Plaza to the Metro Courthouse and Public Square, resulting in a very strong civic axis both physically and symbolically. As a result of the relocation of the MTA transit hub into the Music City Center, Deaderick Street has become the recipient of a multi- million-dollar renovation. The infrastructure improvements lay the groundwork for future public/private partnerships aimed at transforming this corridor into a thriving retail/residential location.
The site improvements incorporate many sustainable elements such as porous pavement, locally manufactured tree grates, infiltration zones/bioswales, LED lighting, recycled materials, native plants, and high-efficiency irrigation systems.
