Relocated Alcoa Hwy (SR-115/US-129)

Constructing yet another road in this area instead of widening and finding solid solutions to the existing Alcoa Highway seems like a long term problem and not solving what we have now. Light rail between Maryville, Alcoa, Louisville, Rockford, and Knoxville, and then Knoxville into other counties is long overdue and should be put in place. Any highway work needs to include buffered bicycle and pedestrian paths. Years back people would bicycle to work, and yes, even on Alcoa Highway. Improvements for safety and travel flow must be made with a holistic approach, but building yet another 4 lane highway will likely not solve these problems.

Current 129 route is unsafe.

Looks like a good idea.
