Project Overview
The Memphis and Shelby County Division of Planning and Development worked with consultants to propose improvements to Summer Avenue. The Corridor Study, which encompasses the 5.5 mile stretch of Summer Avenue from E. Parkway to I-240, identified corridor needs, and opportunities to adapt Summer Avenue as it currently exists to a corridor reimagined and supportive of multimodal users. The planning team used data-driven insights and public engagement to develop concept designs satisfying a wide range of safety, mobility, and community development goals.
