West 7th Street
Corridor Improvements
Columbia, TN
The goal of the Columbia West 7th Street project was to improve pedestrian and vehicular safety while also creating a beautified entryway to downtown Columbia that promotes multimodal principles, historic interpretation, safe pedestrian routes, and economic development through creation of a sense of place and cohesive design. The complexity of the Columbia West 7th Street project was multifaceted, and our team worked closely with the City of Columbia while coordinating with the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT), utility companies, and key community stakeholders.
Pape-Dawson (as RaganSmith) served as the project manager, grant writer, and project engineer, providing additional services for land surveying, land planning, and landscape design.

Due to the national landmark on the project and the location of the corridor through a historical district, a NEPA analysis was necessary to ensure the project did not have adverse impacts to the cultural and environmental resources within the corridor. Establishing a beautified and functional streetscape that improved the environmental quality of the corridor was a main goal for this project. By reducing the amount of street asphalt and increasing green space, overall air and water quality was improved.
