Everett Road Improvements
There is continued growth in this area. This is a viable road that could provide for an alternative to get to I40/75. Further, there is a large undeveloped parcel between Everett Road and Hatmaker Road north of the highway. If Everett Road and Hatmaker Road could be connected that would provide for another arterial in the transportation network.
I-40/75 Auxiliary Lanes
Increasing capacity would solve the congested choke point one tends to experience when traveling west on I40 just past Pellissippi Parkway.
I-40/75 Widening
The I40/75 interchange merge can be very confusing, congested areas can happen fast just beyond the merge point traveling east. This may help with that issue.
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.
Union Rd/N Hobbs Rd Reconstruction
It is my understanding that this project is funded and should remain so. It's a paved farm road, no design and very dangerous. The plans provide for a 10 foot multiuse multidirectional greenway and a road designed with pedestrians in mind.
Virtue Road Reconstruction
Virtue Road continues to see an increase in traffic due to growth in the area and in southwest Knox County. It is curvy and dangerous. New development is bringing pedestrian and bicycle access to this area, it would be beneficial to continue with a bike/ped facility along this portion of Virtue Road.
Union Rd/N Hobbs Rd Reconstruction
Much needed project on a very dangerous street. Project needs to move forward as planned.
I-40/75 Widening
I've traveled inter-city here several times, and the amount of people attempting to merge on the smaller roads is a bottleneck. Widening it is a good call.
I-40/I-75/Campbell Station Road Interchange
This is much needed. Traffic from this interchange often backs up as far as the entrance to Turkey Creek.
I-40/I-75/Campbell Station Road Interchange
this project is desperately needed as Hardin Valley, Farragut and southwest Knox County continue to build out. The congestion in this area is negatively impacting the businesses in the area.
Jamestowne Boulevard Study
connectivity is important in every area of our community. This project would provide for a more connected center of Farragut, as they work toward creating a pedestrian oriented town center.
I-40/75 Widening
Having two major interstates merge into one creates a lot of traffic, and the addition of lanes will help with traffic flow.
Jamestowne Boulevard Study
Such improvements (i. e. volume boosting) are inevitable. Hopefully it can be done while preserving the pastoral character of Jamestowne.
I-40/I-75/Campbell Station Road Interchange
Past due for this project. Yes!
I-40/I-75/Campbell Station Road Interchange
Serious bottleneck and must be fixed
Jamestowne Boulevard Study
May relieve congestion at the K-P and CS intersection perhaps resulting in a more comfortable pedestrian experience. Lots to walk to now down there.
Virtue Road Reconstruction
Roadway is narrow with considerable pavement drop-off. The roadway is a highly used road for SW Knox and Loudon County residents.
Farragut Advanced Traffic Management System - Phase 1
This stretch of Kingston Pike can be especially grueling if one is getting all red traffic lights. If these lights were synchronized I believe it would help with congestion quite a bit.
Farragut Advanced Traffic Management System - Phase 1
I think a centralized signalization system will help tremendously with congestion.
Jamestowne Boulevard Study
With the recent and forthcoming attractions at Kingston Pike and Campbell Station Rd, I imagine that intersection will become even more congested. Alternative routes would be great to alleviate some of this traffic.
I-40/I-75/Campbell Station Road Interchange
Excellent project. Current area is potentail death trap now
I-40/I-75/Campbell Station Road Interchange
With the growth in this area and additional housing that is going in at breakneck speed, getting this interchange reworked should be a high priority.
I-40/I-75/Campbell Station Road Interchange
Way overdue project
Jamestowne Boulevard Study
definitely needed
Everett Road Improvements
The north & west end of this road needs to be upgraded like the south end that is in Farragut,It is easy to walk & bike on the Farragut end but way too dangerous on the Knox County end.
Farragut Advanced Traffic Management System - Phase 1
Traffic lights in Farragut need to be updated along with the ADA buttons at crosswalks. A centrally control system would allow engineers to see real time issues.
Farragut Advanced Traffic Management System - Phase 1
More area that needs a centrally controlled system to manage daily traffic and ADA controls for intersections.
Farragut Advanced Traffic Management System - Phase 1
I believe this project will help traffic flow tremendously in Farragut.
Jamestowne Boulevard Study
This helps connect the busiest portions of the system safely.
Jamestowne Boulevard Study
The Kingston Pike / Campbell Station intersection is a traffic battle with constant stacking, a bypass would be a big relief for this area. It is also tough to walk or bike across this intersection do to the constant turning of cars.
Kingston Pike (SR-1) Widening
Kingston Pike is severely burdened with traffic through this area and widening would help alleviate the traffic burden.
Union Rd/N Hobbs Rd Reconstruction
Very narrow un-engineered road with no drainage that causes a huge stormwater issue. No safe walking or bicycling on this road. New subdivision will be the third large subdivision on a very substandard road.
Jamestowne Boulevard Study
The current intersection at Kingston Pike/Campbell Station Road is at capacity, with no additional space between the Campbell Station Inn (historic) and commercial development for additional lanes.
I-40/I-75/Campbell Station Road Interchange
This interstate exit is long overdue for both traffic and pedestrian improvements. It typically backs up to Parkside / Grigsby Chappell and stacks up on the exit ramp. With the increased building and backups in Hardin Valley Exit 373 has become the shortcut across the ridge to get to the west end of Hardin Valley. With the increased building in the Choto/Northshore area you are seeing traffic using Campbell Station to Northshore as the new route of choice.
I-40/I-75/Campbell Station Road Interchange
Although much has changed in the 50+ years since the construction of the I-40 Campbell Station Rd interchange, the basic roadway width beneath the interstate has not. Given the growth of Farragut to the south, the growth of Hardin Valley to the north, the development of Turkey Creek Shopping district, the addition of numerous hotels in the immediate area, and with the plan to add Top Golf nearby, the time to widen the road under the interstate is way long overdue. In addition to the traffic congestion at this underpass, given the topography, the existing drainage system has proven to be inadequate during times of high rainfall and has resulted in underpass flooding and road closure. The improvement of this underpass is THE most important need in this area of Knox County both for the convenience of local residents, the need of local businesses, and the safety of local and non-local traffic. I have become aware that one suggestion for widening the underpass road width would be to remove the 45 degree embankments on both sides of road, replace them with support walls, and then widen the road to add additional lanes. As an engineer, this seems to me to be an effective and cost conscious approach to resolving this bottleneck. In any case, I urge you to proceed with this I-40/Campbell Station Rd. improvement project without delay.
Kingston Pike (SR-1) Widening
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.
Virtue Road Reconstruction
This stretch of road is the most dangerous narrow road in the Town of Farragut with its blind off camber curves and hills. 4,000 + cars every morning and afternoon in and out of Choto and Loudon County have figured out that this is a shortcut to Kingston Pike. Impossible to walk or bike this pastoral area of Farragut.
