Kingston Pike (SR-1) Widening

This portion of Kingston Pike runs down the middle of the Town of Farragut. To widen this road would negatively impact this community, essentially turning the Town from a major arterial running through it to a Town with a highway running through it. There are other alternatives to improve traffic capacity in the surrounding transportation network that would be less detrimental to Farragut's desire to create a sense of place throughout the Town. There is a connected pedestrian facility on the south side of Kingston Pike. It would be nice to have a connected sidewalk on the north side but not at the cost of widening Kingston Pike to 6 lanes.

Kingston Pike is severely burdened with traffic through this area and widening would help alleviate the traffic burden.

While I would like to see bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure in this area, I do not like the idea of widening this stretch of roadway. Traffic light synchronization and alternative routes would be a better solution than creating a 70'+/- crossing for pedestrians.
