CLEVELAND, Tenn. – Cleveland has helped pave the way for Tennessee communities to become more friendly toward pedestrians.
The city is one of seven statewide to pilot the new “Walk with Me Tennessee” program announced Monday by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation.
Jeni Brinkman, assistant director of recreation education services, said Cleveland was selected because of its population and characteristics.
“Cleveland always has had a good reputation of being very walkable,” she said.
The city provided loads of research for the project, including transportation plans and demographic data, director of parks and recreation Patti Petitt said.
