Vestal Gateway

East Tennessee Community Design Center spearheaded a community partnership to create a concrete and steel archway for a planned extension of the Mary Vestal Greenway. This project realized a goal set for the South Knoxville Vestal neighborhood through collaborative planning begun in 2013 with the Aslan Foundation and Project for Public Spaces.

A group of people stand under a large, decorative arch labeled VESTAL at an outdoor event. Behind them, there is a brick building, several parked cars, leafless trees, and a blue sky with clouds.

A group of six children and one adult stand with bicycles behind a white sign that reads “TRAIL” with a sun and water graphic, on a grassy trail surrounded by trees. Everyone is wearing helmets.
