UT students from the Howard H. Baker Jr. Center for Public Policy will be working with city leaders and campus professors to research and develop recommendations for redesigning “the Strip” along Cumberland Avenue.
To help them get started, people who regularly visit “the Strip” are being asked to fill out a short survey. The online survey is open until October 9.
On Saturday, October 12, armed with the results of this survey, the students will participate in the Baker Policy Challenge. From 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., they will research issues and conduct focus groups and on-the-street surveys to develop a set of recommendations addressing parking, safety, and convenience.
Students can register online to participate in this event. Registration is open through October 9.
