Intersection Improvement at Beaver Ridge Road and West Emory Road
I live in Karns and have for over 50 years. I have listened to Jim Snowden stand up and tell the Knox County Commission that money has been secured for this project, over and over. That's great but the issue is that our resident builder, Rocky Smith keeps developing the farmland here adding, at a minimum, 50 homes then adds hundreds of cars to an already, horrible, dangerous intersection! There are currently 3 NEW developments that have been approved just within less than 3/4 mile from this intersection. This community has been completely neglected in ANY road improvements..... I have spoken many times, begging & pleading for our two most dangerous intersection to be repaired.... we get nothing. At Carpenter, Harrell and W. Emory, there were 5 wrecks in ONE day, two of them occurring on the same day! I, as a resident of Knox County, am disgusted with the lack of safe roads to travel on in this community. After all, Karns and Hardin Valley are the tax base for this county but Karns can not seem to get any assistance.

Due to the large number of current and in construction neighborhoods near this intersection and it's very close proximity to the elementary school, kt would be hugely helpful to include sidewalks in this intersection expansion.

That entire strip of road can get a little dangerous, so I think it could be a great improvement!

Please consider a roundabout design at this intersection. It would help keep a steady flow of traffic and prevent severe backups.

Much needed improvement. I take this road nearly every day and see the increase of traffic and the safety concerns. Honestly do not know why at least a roundabout hasn't been installed. And now many large trucks are using this road and it makes it even more dangerous.
