May 17, 2026 - Open Streets Knoxville
Thanks to everyone who joined us for Open Streets Knoxville! We had a fabulous time opening Gay Street for people to walk, bike, dance, and play in the streets! We would like to say a special thank you to all our sponsors, activity providers, food vendors, performing artists, and volunteers for helping to make this event a huge success. This free, family-friendly event invited folks of all ages and abilities to experience Knoxville in a whole new way. We are so grateful to offer this opportunity to enjoy the streets as public spaces meant for people, and look forward to hosting Open Streets Knoxville again next year!
May 7, 2026 - Downtown Bike Parking Survey
Bike Walk Knoxville is looking for public responses on where in downtown (Gay Street, Market Square, Old City) the community would like to see bike parking. This is an exploratory brainstorming effort, so we cannot make any guarantees, but we are working to improve active transportation accessibility in downtown. Please only include one location per submission, but you are welcome to take the survey multiple times!
September 3, 2025 - Give input on bike parking!
We are asking for input on where you would like to see bike racks! Many cyclists cite the lack of secure bike parking as a barrier to feeling comfortable using their bike as a frequent mode of transportation. Your answer could be at a place you bike regularly, or a place that you would bike to more if there was better parking available! Let us know by taking the survey below! Please limit your response to one location per submission, but you can take the survey as many times as you want.
