Nashville man petitions to close Lower Broadway to vehicles after tourist's death

A Nashville man started a petition calling for Lower Broadway to be permanently closed to vehicles between First and Fifth Avenues, making it pedestrian-only. The advocacy follows the death of Australian tourist Timothy Wedlock after he was struck by a vehicle run by an 87-year-old driver while crossing with the walk signal. Petition organizers argue that closing the area is necessary to improve safety compared to places like Bourbon Street and Beale Street.
