Knoxville South Waterfront Pedestrian/Bicycle Bridge
As a student across the River, I see firsthand the need for alternative transportation methods. A lot of students want pedestrian or bicycle transportation that allows them to safely access other parts of UT's campus without being so close to traffic on Chapman Highway. This would be great for game days as well as everyday usage for students. This would reduce intoxicated driving as well as save people money due to the reduced need for Ubers and Lyfts.

Traffic Signal Improvements for the U.T. Area
Please consider pedestrian-only phases during the morning and afternoon on Cumberland Avenue. The amount of foot traffic makes turning onto and off of Cumberland difficult and potentially dangerous.
Magnolia Avenue Streetscape - Phase 5
I live near this project and am in support of the project. But a horizon date of 2030 seems far off for 1.2 miles worth of improvements doesn't it?
Sevier Avenue South Knoxville Waterfront Roadway Improvements
Improvements along Chapman Highway (Burnett Creek to Blount Ave.) hopefully include the creation of sidewalks and pedestrian amenities.

Washington Pike
We move here in April 2020. This project is long overdue. Washington Pike to Murphy Road is heavily congested and dangerous for traffic and pedestrians alike.Thank you.
Alcoa Hwy (SR-115/US-129) Widening
We need more bike lanes and the Maryville Alcoa to Knoxville corridor is one place that will be heavily used
I-40 Westbound Interchange at I-275
Entrance ramp from the Henley Street Tunnel to I-40 West is way too SHORT!
James White Parkway corridor improvements
Already ruined Moody. There are never any bikes on this road anyway.
James White Parkway Roadway improvements
Leave the Parkway alone. Use Cottrell for Bikes!
Atlantic Avenue Sidewalk
Definitely need more sidewalks in OLP
Chapman Highway Advanced Traffic Management System
Yes! This is a good project.
Alcoa Hwy (SR-115/US-129) Widening
Alcoa Highway has been a death trap for decades and this is important!
Alcoa Hwy (SR-115/US-129) Widening
All Alcoa Highway projects need to be done as soon as possible. These projects will save lives as well as expedite travel.
Northshore Drive at Kingston Pike Intersection Improvements
This intersection slows down everyone traveling on both roads. A wider and faster intersection is much needed
East Knox Greenway - Phase 1
this community needs a greenway
First Creek Greenway - Downtown East
must invest to connect our greenways.
I-40 Westbound Interchange at I-275
Always congestion here from 4PM - 6PM Mon-Fri.
James White Parkway corridor improvements
Hillwood is a safety concern for all involved and should be addressed.
James White Parkway corridor improvements
Safety Hazard for all that needs addressed
James White Parkway Roadway improvements
Please construct this critical bike/ped connection ASAP- it is a missing link for the bike network
Knoxville South Waterfront Pedestrian/Bicycle Bridge
huge cost no where to ride in south knoxville
Magnolia Ave/Rutledge Pike/Asheville Hwy Interchange Improvements
Yes to bike lanes and sidewalks! Is a traffic circle possible?
Magnolia Ave/Rutledge Pike/Asheville Hwy Interchange Improvements
More sidewalks everywhere!
Magnolia Ave/Rutledge Pike/Asheville Hwy Interchange Improvements
This busy road needs physical separation of bike lanes from vehicular traffic not just paint
Magnolia Ave/Rutledge Pike/Asheville Hwy Interchange Improvements
completing this project will be an economic benefit to businesses along Magnolia and in Burlington.
Magnolia Avenue Streetscape - Phase 5
this area will not see much economic benefit from this project.
Northshore Drive at Kingston Pike Intersection Improvements
heavy traffic all day/every day. expand turn lanes.
Purchase KAT Vehicles - Fixed Route Buses
buy electric buses. overhaul some buses to expand their life but replace with electric.
South Knoxville Bridge Greenway
I marked like, but the devil is in the details. Needs to be, as it is for cars, on both sides of the bridge.
South Knoxville Waterfront Roadway Improvements
Would rather see the dollars for roundabout spent on Hillwood first.
Tyson Park/Fort Sanders Bike Connection
This missing link would give greater access to central downtown Knoxville and the University ofTN.
Tyson Park/Fort Sanders Bike Connection
This is and has been a major need for bikeway continuity.
Westland Drive Complete Street
High priority. Essential to provide walkability/bikeability to several densely populated neighborhoods otherwise entirely car-dependent. Connectivity to lakeshore and the third creek corridor greenway system would be ideal.
Westland Drive Complete Street
this facility is very much needed and will get a lot of use by the neighborhood as well as bike commuters
Northshore Drive at Kingston Pike Intersection Improvements
I work near this area and that intersection is always a mess. At times, it takes up to 3 cycles of the traffic light to make it across the intersection.
First Creek Greenway - Downtown East
Love any paths that connect greenways. Would make it really nice to get out to the botanical gardens.
Middlebrook Pike Complete Street
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. I've gotten almost hit ont his stretch of road very often and it makes biking out west unpleasant and unlikely for me.
Traffic Signal Improvements for the U.T. Area
Project would assist with traffic flow in UT area-
Baker Creek Greenway
The more bike/pedestrian paths, the better.
Baker Creek Greenway
This is the first I've heard about this project and I think it is perfect for the growing urban wilderness areas. They should all be connected, where possible and feasible. This would also help with parking problems at some local trailheads, etc.
Chapman Highway Advanced Traffic Management System
Something needs to be done about the speeding in this section. Additional left turn lanes are needed, as well as bike lanes in both directions.
I-40 Westbound Interchange at I-275
The on ramp from service drive onto I-40 west is WAY too short and very dangerous. Something needs to be done to either extende it or move westbound traffic to the left to allow vehicles to merge onto I-40 westbound in a safe manner.
James White Parkway corridor improvements
This is a "must-do" project in addition to the new park being built. This will help accomodate the additional pedestrians and cyclist coming from north of the river to visit the urban wilderness areas of South Knoxville.
James White Parkway corridor improvements
I agree this needs to be completed in a timely manner to expand on the urban wilderness areas and access to and from them.
Knoxville South Waterfront Pedestrian/Bicycle Bridge
Why?
Knoxville South Waterfront Pedestrian/Bicycle Bridge
This would be fantastic for us South Knoxville residents to get to UTK on our bikes or walking.
Knoxville South Waterfront Pedestrian/Bicycle Bridge
This would be amazing!!
Northshore Drive at Kingston Pike Intersection Improvements
This intersection is awful and in need of an upgrade.
South Knoxville Bridge Greenway
Another great idea linking the north areas to the urban wilderness in South Knoxville. This is also a "Must-Do" project.
South Waterfront Greenway - West of Cityview
Scottish Pike Park is underutilized and this would help bring more people to that small park. Excellent idea that I'd like to see built sooner rather than later.
Tazewell Pike Sidewalk
Please consider extending sidewalks on west side of Jacksboro pike between Tazewell and Garden drive
Washington Pike
Much needed
Alcoa Hwy (SR-115/US-129) Widening
Don't think the road needs to be widened, just need the bike and pedestrian facilities
I-40 Westbound Interchange at I-275
This interchange needs much improvement
James White Parkway Roadway improvements
YES
Knoxville Center Mall Area Circulation Study
I believe exit/entry ramps need to be installed directly to the former mall area to avoid additional truck traffic on already congested roadways.
Liberty Street Multimodal Project
Would help with connecting to third creek greenway
Liberty Street Multimodal Project
Important for bike safety!
Magnolia Ave/Rutledge Pike/Asheville Hwy Interchange Improvements
Bike lanes are necessary for safety.
Tyson Park/Fort Sanders Bike Connection
This is very much needed as there is not a safe way to access the quite roads of the fort without riding the wrong way on the sidewalk on Cumberland.
Tyson Park/Fort Sanders Bike Connection
Very good for safety!
Westland Drive Complete Street
YES!!
Woodland Ave. Complete Street
Very necessary for safety
East Knox Greenway - Phase 1
Bicycle infrastructure is always a good thing!
James White Parkway Roadway improvements
With the construction of the new park at the end of James White this is the perfect opportunity to cut down on unused lanes for this road and turn them into green space and public use tracks for walking and riding.
Knoxville South Waterfront Pedestrian/Bicycle Bridge
this would be lovely; one really cannot get over there without mixing it up in traffic for at least a few blocks. Being able to bike with kids without the worry of traffic would be fabulous.
Liberty Street Multimodal Project
The more we can make connections to existing greenway systems the better all of it becomes.
South Waterfront Greenway - East of Suttree
Riding on the road as an adult is not too bad, but this would really make it safer for family trips.
South Waterfront Greenway - West of Cityview
If the bridge were to be installed this would be a necessity, to connect safely to existing infrastructure.
Atlantic Avenue Sidewalk
Love sidewalks
Baker Creek Greenway
As a frequent user of this area, I would love this.
Chapman Highway Advanced Traffic Management System
Anything to help Chapman.
East Knox Greenway - Phase 1
It would be great to be able to safely bike there.
First Creek Greenway - Downtown East
Very cool.
James White Parkway corridor improvements
Love it.
James White Parkway Roadway improvements
I travel this road every day, and there is plenty or room for a safe (and hopefully protected) bik e/pedestrian lane
Knoxville Advanced Traffic Management System - Phase 2
yes for smarter traffic systems

This sounds incredible to me!
Traffic Signal Improvements for the U.T. Area
I love smarter traffic systems.
Tyson Park/Fort Sanders Bike Connection
Sounds like a great idea to me!
Westland Drive Complete Street
Very much needed.
Woodland Ave. Complete Street
This would be great.
James White Parkway corridor improvements
Please retain bike-friendly attributes. Opportunity to eliminate railroad tracks?
James White Parkway corridor improvements
This section of roadway should be improved for vehicles. As it is now, it is often unsafe to use in a vehicle and should not encourage bike or pedestrians given the safety considerations.
James White Parkway corridor improvements
Leave James White Parkway alone.
James White Parkway Roadway improvements
Great idea to expand bike capability on these corridors. Wonderful complement to the Gateway
James White Parkway Roadway improvements
This limits capacity for a bridge that is one of three that provides access to and from South Knoxville into Downtown and to points beyond. Given the impacts of bridge work as facilities age, it seems short sided to eliminate capacity of this bridge.
Knoxville 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.

Please help this area
Middlebrook Pike Complete Street
We have very few protected bike lanes, this is a step in the right direction.
Northshore Drive at Kingston Pike Intersection Improvements
I travel through this intersection at least twice a day, and I regularly see large trucks tracking over the sidewalk as they make right turns from different directions.
Papermill Drive Corridor Improvements
Adding a turn lane would be incredibly beneficial to serve the businesses along this corridor.
Woodland Ave. Complete Street
Several cars on park or put their trash cans on the bike lane. Do not feel safe cycling on this road(s).
KAT Express Service Enhancement - Broadway Transit Signal Priority
I agree that smart transit options should begin to be implemented. Broadway can be quite congested, especially with the numerous traffic lights.
Knoxville Advanced Traffic Management System - Phase 1
I drive this stretch of Broadway every day. Signal timing is a major problem, especially around Hotel (Gresham Middle traffic).
Knoxville Center Mall Area Circulation Study
If this area is going to be a viable option for business prospects, there needs to be some improvements made.
Tazewell Pike Sidewalk
Agree that there is quite a bit of pedestrian traffic in that area.
First Creek Greenway - Broadway Streetscape
this will make it safer for pedestrians, esp. students from the high school
First Creek Greenway - North Knox
yes, this will be a great improvement
Knoxville Advanced Traffic Management System - Phase 1
this should make broadway safer
Knoxville Northwest Greenway Connector Ph. 2
Need to further connect Greenway systems with Jean Teague by West Hills
Magnolia Avenue Streetscape - Phase 4
This area has been neglected for decades and should greatly benefit from these improvements
Middlebrook Pike (SR-169) ATMS Expansion
Support!There are several traffic lights along this route that appear "primitive", as in they are not using live traffic data for more efficient timing. Upgrading this will result in less emissions, faster commutes, and less frustration for commuters.
Papermill Drive Corridor Improvements
How many lines of traffic have you waited in for people turning left into McKay's bookstore?This should have been constructed ten years ago - high priority!
Tyson Park/Fort Sanders Bike Connection
this is a great project that would help people get to Tyson park without having to go on cumberland/kingston pk
Woodland Ave. Complete Street
this will make it safer for pedestrians, esp. students from the high school
East Knox Greenway - Phase 1
would love to see this constructed. more greenways are always a good thing and should be a priority

first 2 phases are great, would like to see this entire corridor finished
Magnolia Avenue Streetscape - Phase 4
first 2 phases are great, would like to see this entire corridor finished
Magnolia Avenue Streetscape - Phase 5
first 2 phases are great, would like to see this entire corridor finished
Chapman Highway Multiuse Path
overdue!
East Knox Greenway - Phase 1
East Knox is sorely lacking in safe bike routes. The neighborhood streets provide a good alternative, but with more established protected routes, bike routes connecting to other parts of the city could improve transportation options in an equitable way.
James White Parkway corridor improvements
This is decent as-is, but there are gaps in cyclist and pedestrian protection right at the busiest intersection with the on/off ramps for James White.
I-75/I-640/I-275 Interchange
but truly a real bypass would fix this issue
James White Parkway Roadway improvements
why does state spend money on building roads, just so knoxville can reduce the size of them????
KAT Bus Engine Overhauls
Engine overhauls should only be done on newer buses that are more fuel efficient to begin with.
Knoxville Advanced Traffic Management System - Phase 2
This area will benefit greatly from better traffic management through signal timing.
Magnolia Ave/Rutledge Pike/Asheville Hwy Interchange Improvements
In my driving through that area, I haven't seen a lot of pedestrian traffic, or bicycles, for that matter.
Magnolia Ave/Rutledge Pike/Asheville Hwy Interchange Improvements
travel this area daily. rutledge pk to asheville hwy has to connection one way. must be changed. also interstate between cherry st and 1-640 needs additional lanes
Purchase KAT Vehicles - Fixed Route Buses
The question here is - how many buses can be successfully overhauled vs. what a new one costs, and take into account fuel costs, accessibility, etc.
Knoxville Center Mall Area Circulation Study
Might help commerce, too.
Magnolia Ave/Rutledge Pike/Asheville Hwy Interchange Improvements
Always a mess there.
Magnolia Ave/Rutledge Pike/Asheville Hwy Interchange Improvements
Bike lanes are definitely needed heading west in this area.
Magnolia Avenue Streetscape - Phase 5
I really like what's been done on the previous phases. Keep up the good work!
Northshore Drive at Kingston Pike Intersection Improvements
Anything can only help here.
Westland Drive Complete Street
Westland could be a great connector from the lyons view area to Morrell/Rocky Hill. I ride it anyway, but better pedestrian and cycle access would make it so much safer.
Adair to Old Broadway Connection
Great idea. convince Food City and Biglot and panera to continue along the creek.
First Creek Greenway - North Knox
Need to figure out broadway / 640 for ped/bike
James White Parkway corridor improvements
Please add sidewalks and sharrows to all of Sevier Ave from Anita to Lancaster! The sidewalks start and stop along that entire stretch so simply infilling along the way where possible would be a great start.
James White Parkway Roadway improvements
I love this plan. Taking the overbuilt, underutilized infrastructure and turning into multi-modal transportation for both recreation and non-vehicular commuting is great. This is going to be an amazing asset to South Knoxville and Knoxville in general.
KAT Express Service Enhancement - Broadway Transit Signal Priority
Great
Knoxville Advanced Traffic Management System - Phase 1
Need to slow traffic so more diverts to emory road. Shoould have done this before the 640 interchange construction
Magnolia Ave/Rutledge Pike/Asheville Hwy Interchange Improvements
Improvements to this area have been very lacking for many years. More and more traffic is causing slowdowns and backups at traffic lights, causing the roadways to become crowded and slow.
South Waterfront Greenway - West of Cityview
I like this but a streetscape and infrastructure improvement project along Scottish Pike and Blount Ave might be better money spent right now to get ahead of what is likely going to be an area of significant development in the next 10 years.
Tazewell Pike Sidewalk
This includes some dangerous merges on the south side. will it include crosswalks to get northbound.
Adair to Old Broadway Connection
Please look at the Intersection of Boyds Creek and Old Knoxville Hwy and ESPECIALLY Boyds Creek and Hodges Bend. Thank you!
Adair to Old Broadway Connection
Once again, I am dismayed that there is little to no regional transportation planning; no rail, no bus, no park-and-rides or any other alternative to the one-person-in-one-vehicle mode.
Adair to Old Broadway Connection
Whatever you called the modernization of traffic signaling and increasing the flow of traffic?is very needed along our major thoroughfares.
Adair to Old Broadway Connection
As far as Knoxville traffic, I-40/I-75 is a challenge. Hopefully there are plans for that.
Adair to Old Broadway Connection
Many other improvements are needed?on Montvale Road, Morganton Road, and awkward or unsafe intersections all over the map.
Adair to Old Broadway Connection
In summary, please repair, improve, and maintain the roads we already have, before you consider laying down new asphalt along a route where a highway is not needed.
Adair to Old Broadway Connection
On behalf of the University of Tennessee (UT), we would like to submit for consideration a project to improve the intersection of Melrose Place and Lake Avenue (see attached map). We understand this project would involve a partnership between the city of Knoxville and UT since this area involves both parties. Improving this intersection would greatly enhance both vehicular and pedestrian safety and flow so we hope this will be seriously considered.
Adair to Old Broadway Connection
There should be transit projects bringing transit to the Rocky Hill neighborhood, where there has been none since the 90 was discontinued. Kat says 80 % of Knoxville residents live within half a mile from a Kat stop, but I am well outside that range.
Adair to Old Broadway Connection
More generally the lion's share of the projects are road projects. When are are you going to start taking climate change seriously by investing resources in modes that do not involve cars? They are a major source of green house emissions that must be dealt with.
Adair to Old Broadway Connection
The intersection of Hickory Creek Road & Palestine Lane & Watt Road needs to be realigned and signaled due to increased semi-truck traffic based on new trucking terminals being approved and built. GPS apps are routing people through Hickory Creek Road when I 40/75 backs up. Please consider adding this project.
Adair to Old Broadway Connection
I am interested in the Anita Avenue/Hillwood Drive project at the south end of the South Knoxville bridge. The road is heavily traveled and extremely narrow with ditches on both sides. The city has had plans to straighten it and connect with Island Home Avenue at South Haven for more than a decade. The road is dangerous and funds should be spent to fix the problem (either straighten it or widen it).
Alcoa Hwy (SR-115/US-129) Widening
Very important that Marine Park is connected to the Alcoa Highway greenway being constructed now starting at Montlake drive going south, connecting these two greenway systems. Curious why this shows the roadway improvement only going to Woodson? Thank you for the opportunity to comment!
Alcoa Hwy (SR-115/US-129) Widening
We are delighted that work to make Alcoa Highway safer is finally underway.? Do it all?and do it smart, to make that route safe and pleasant well into the future.? Given the traffic load in that corridor, maybe we should be thinking of a public transportation option between Knoxville and its airport.
Alcoa Hwy (SR-115/US-129) Widening
I live in Blount County and am in favor of the following projects for improving safety and growth in my area of TN, as well as increased use of Greenways:Mobility Plan Numbers: 09-231, 13-214, 13-215, 13-216, 13-218, 09-216, 09-644, 09-653, 17-202, 17-201, 18-202, 19-201, 21-100, 21-1002, 21-201, 21-204, 09-211, 09-214.
Alcoa Hwy (SR-115/US-129) Widening
I support this project.As we all know, this is a dangerous stretch of road with a terrible reputation, and deservedly so! It has been a hazard for decades and I am glad to see residents' safety finally being taken seriously.
Alcoa Hwy (SR-115/US-129) Widening
I support these projects.? Alcoa Highway deserves its unfortunate nickname--"I'll Kill Ya" Highway.? It is one of the most dangerous roads in East Tennessee and has claimed many lives over the years.? My own husband had a very serious accident on Highway 129 in?2019.? Any improvements to this road are welcome, whether it be widening, upgrades to interchanges, or improving visibility.? The improvements at the junction of Topside Road and Alcoa Highway have been a big help.? Please continue the work on improvements and widening of Alcoa Highway until the entire length is finished.
Baker Creek Greenway
I greatly support the addition this and other access for bikers and pedestrians. I am glad this route is being considered.In general, I encourage the addition of bike lanes, widened shoulders, adjacent greenways and/ or sidewalks where possible. I believe that increasing interconnectivity of greenways/sidewalks and wide (bikeable) roadways/ bridges will greatly benefit our community in both the short and long term.Thank you for reading this and considering my input.
Chapman Highway Advanced Traffic Management System
Can you make the traffic lights turn green together so you don't have to stop at everyone of them. You sit at one light as it turns green you can see the next light turn red right in front of you. Lights all over the City do this. No wonder traffic doesn't move on Chapman Highway or anywhere else in the City. Traffic light at Young High Pike backs up traffic to Moody everyday.
Chapman Highway Advanced Traffic Management System
Chapman Highway.? Improvements to mobility and especially traffic safety are greatly needed, all the way from Knoxville to Seymour.
Chapman Highway Advanced Traffic Management System
HWY 441, Chapman Hwy -- a fast and busy route between Knoxville and Seymour/Sevierville/Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg.Needs many improvements
Chapman Highway Multiuse Path
Yes! People already walk and ride bikes here. Let's make it safe and encourage more people to do so. Chapman hwy is a thoroughfare right now but it is going to become more urban and neighborhood oriented as Knoxville grows so we should plan for people more than cars. Alcoa Hwy is so built up already it makes sense to make that and John Sevier the way to get places quickly and let Chapman become more centrally focused.
East Knox Greenway - Phase 1
I live nearby (on Selma Ave) and use part of this route to commute to work daily. During the after-school hours I often see kids walking home even though there's no sidewalk. I think a bike lane and sidewalk would be great here, especially because this is a historically underserved part of the town.
East Knox Greenway - Phase 1
Can it be continued across Boyd's Bridge, though Marbledale/Asbury, to arrive at the new park being created by the Legacy Parks Foundation across the river from the Veterans Cemetary? It's such a scenic bike ride! Just not an extremely safe one :( Plus it takes you right by Cruze Farm for an ice cream cone and/or the Ramsey House!

Knoxville Center Mall Area Circulation Study
This absolutely has to happen because of the likely redevelopment of the mall. Traffic is already at a standstill from the interstate down Washington Pike and Millertown headed to points north and east from about 7-9 am and from 4-6 pm. Also, traffic to and from the Detention Facility puts an extra load on Washington Pike and some people use Millertown to avoid Washington Pike congestion near the Target shopping center and cut through Harris Road over to Washington Pike.
Knoxville Center Mall Area Circulation Study
This is a very poor example of ingress and egress for a mall with many homes and apartments around it. With the mall now closed, it will be most difficult bringing in businesses to revitalize the structure unless major improvements to the roadway system takes place.
Knoxville Center Mall Area Circulation Study
Especially because a developer is looking at the East Towne Mall site as a distribution center, please add this to the top of your project list. Millertown Pike needs to be widened, but I don't know how that can happen when there's a small and narrow ancient bridge over Love's Creek between the Krystal and Taco Bell restaurants. I feel like that bridge is the main hindrance to progress and better flow over there.
Knoxville Center Mall Area Circulation Study
Having a warehouse distribution center at the old East town mall is not the best use of the property. This side of town is in desperate need of retail and restaurant comparable to the west side of town.Tearing down the mall and building an open air shopping center would be a better use of the site.
Knoxville Northwest Greenway Connector Ph. 2
A dedicated bike lane here would be amazing to allow connection from Victor Ashe to Middlebrook where there is also a proposed bike lane. I have actually ridden this section of road before and while being low traffic it is still slightly dangerous for cyclist. I have had a few bad encounters this drivers on this section. This would also allow access to the West Hills Park Greenway which connects to Cedar Bluff.
Knoxville Northwest Greenway Connector Ph. 2
I love biking 3rd Creek on the weekends to connect over to Victor Ashe Park. It would be great to be able to use the route when traffic is heavier. But honestly- this is a USELESS project unless Middlebrook Pike is addressed. The shared sidewalk/greenway improvements stopped at 4312 Middlebrook, leaving the lack of curb cut at the post office driveway, so no accessible access to crosswalk! Even if one could get to crosswalk, there is no continuous sidewalk nor shoulder to reach 3rd creek on the other side. So getting to the 3rd Creek improvement could still only be safely done during low traffic times, making the improvement unnecessary.One of the biggest issues our current systems has is piecemeal projects that lack any soty of linkage or connection to one another, such as the Liberty bike lanes that were put in with no thought as to how a cyclist would transition to the greenway and access the signal button at Middlebrook.
Knoxville Northwest Greenway Connector Ph. 2
This would be awesome, I greatly support the addition on more and all greenways!In general, I encourage the addition of bike lanes, widened shoulders, adjacent greenways and/ or sidewalks where possible.

Knoxville South Waterfront Pedestrian/Bicycle Bridge
In theory, I like this project; however, I think for it to be worth the investment UT would need to build more buildings & parking structures on the south side of the river. That location wouldn't be serving much game day traffic and right now, not that many students live close enough to utilize the bridge (even with the large complexes on the river and farther south). Most students would still drive to campus. I do like connectivity to Fort Dickerson. If you could somehow tie into or piggyback off the train trestle coming from World's Fair Park you could serve that side of downtown plus campus and potentially spend less on infrastructure.
Knoxville South Waterfront Pedestrian/Bicycle Bridge
This project would allow easy access to apartments and other facilities along the riverfront on the South side. This would not only improve access for foot and bike traffic but it would also increase the easy of access for students who live on that side of the river.
Liberty Street Multimodal Project
I am confused why the existing greenway and bikes lanes are marked, but it would be lovely to have Division street made more accessible. Currently it is really only safe and pleasant to ride downhill, away from Liberty. And I always see at least one pedestrian each trip.

Northshore Drive at Kingston Pike Intersection Improvements
One of the most crowded intersection in Knox Co. with its slowdowns reaching east past Buddy's BBQ, west up Bearden Hill, Northshore past Baum Dr., and Northshore north toward I-40. Avoiding this intersection at all costs, most times of the day will be doing yourself a favor.Any improvements to this area should be of utmost importance.
Pleasant Ridge Road
I encourage the addition of bike lanes, widened shoulders, adjacent greenways and/ or sidewalks where possible. I believe that increasing interconnectivity of greenways/sidewalks and wide (bikeable) roadways/ bridges will greatly benefit our community in both the short and long term.Thank you for reading this and considering my input.
South Knoxville Bridge Greenway
This is pretty sorely needed. I and other cyclists I see on this road have a pretty wide path due to the pull-over lane, but again, no striping or further protection from cars, which go ~50mph on this stretch. It's an unavoidable connector with no nearby, safe alternative paths.
South Knoxville Bridge Greenway
If it takes away any current lanes, then dislike as only a few ways over the river and when bridges need repair or growth occurs, you have lost the needed lane. There is plenty of room to work without losing any lanes. Also currently safe division of facing traffic.
South Knoxville Waterfront Roadway Improvements
I think this project is very necessary. However, I think the roundabout is the wrong solution for this area. That intersection is very dangerous currently as it is a blind curve when cars are parked along Sevier, you can't see on-coming traffic when coming from Island Home Ave and the cars coming off James White Parkway only slow down when they hit the railroad tracks. I understand the idea is to keep traffic moving but this is going to be an increasingly pedestrian area and a 4 way stop or a 4 way traffic light stop would be much safer for pedestrians. In the U.S., roundabouts are a much more suburban solution. We do not have good urban driving practices or tight,dense urban spaces where they work well like they do in England. I oppose a roundabout (especially if it requires demolishing a potentially historic home which was in the initial plan I believe) but I think the other infrastructure elements are good.
South Waterfront Greenway - East of Suttree
This greenway project should be prioritized over James White Parkway (even to the exclusion of the proposed James White Parkway project) as this connects existing assets (Island Home Park and Suttree Landing Park) and fulfills the vision of the South Waterfront that has been in process for more than a dozen years.
South Waterfront Greenway - West of Cityview
Another critical connection that should be built or make the Blount Ave./ Henley Street intersection slower and safer for people walking and biking. BTW, the Henley street bridge traffic speeds are ridiculously fast due to the design of the roadway- redesign it to turn it into a boulevard to "slow the cars" and that people can walk and bike on comfortably
Tyson Park/Fort Sanders Bike Connection
This would provide access to Tyson park from fort without having to trek down to Cumberland and then back up. Would enable safe walking area that's not along busy corridor to allow more commute options. Simple trail or even just a hole in the fence at this spot would be very convenient.
Tyson Park/Fort Sanders Bike Connection
Cumberland Avenue is not a safe place for people biking. The designated bike route from the 3rd Creek Greenway directs westbound(vice-versa for eastbound) cyclists onto the north sidewalk of Cumberland Ave where they encounter many pedestrians and unsafe intersections. Riding a bike in the roadway on Cumberland is not comfortable for most cyclists which is why you do not see cyclists on Cumberland. Cumberland Ave. does not serve the Fort Sanders neighborhood pedestrians either, many of whom are UTK students who can only get to destinations west (and reverse for eastbound) by exiting the neighborhood south to Cumberland, navigating the congestion on the street and narrow sidewalks to get to campus, into Tyson Park or cross into the University Commons which is a dangerous intersection as is the Cumberland/ Volunteer Blvd. intersection. This situation has only worsened with the building of multi-story university residences on Cumberland. The usable sidewalk space is still only 5 feet wide and building frontages are less than ten feet so there is minimal public space for people walking and biking on the sidewalk. A bike/ pedestrian bridge connecting Tyson Park to the Fort Sanders neighborhood will provide a critical connection for east/west biking and walking traffic. This bridge is more than a recreational amenity- it will serve as a route for biking/walking commuters, increase opportunities for Fort Sanders residents to safely get to Tyson Park and University Commons and improve the the safety of Cumberland Ave for everyone.
Washington Pike
I drive this road multiple times a week. There are always issues with people pulling out of Babelay (headed toward Greenway) into the turning lane while others are trying to get into the turning lane to turn left onto Mill Road. Also, the congestion from Greenway to Mill Road during evening rush hour is awful.
Westland Drive Complete Street
please make certain that connections at the end of the bike lanes & sidewalks are addressed. An obvious goal would be to access Lakeshore Park. Currently the sidewalk on the cemetary side has no curb cuts, and fencing at Lakeshore forces one to go up Lyons or down Northshore (very narrow shoulder) to get into the park.
