Maryville to Townsend Greenway - Phase 1 (Brown Creek)
It is wonderful to see more greenway projects proposed and I highly support them. However, greenway projects can be much more useful if they connect communities to business and other locations, whether it be work, school, shopping, restaurants, places of worship, etc. Bicyling and walking are modes of transportation. Please consider increasing and improving this form of transportation. Doing this will improve our health through exercise and reducing vehicle emissions.
Tuckaleechee Pike Reconstruction
This project needs to be extended the length of this narrow heavily traveled road. Side walk or Wide shoulders should be added or the project would be a waste of money. One mile is not enough!
Sevierville Rd (SR-35/US-411) Widening
This is a project that should have been done years ago. With children walking, biking snd/or being dropped off at school this is a very dangerous area. Providing bike and foot paths might actually reduce early morning traffic.
Intersection Improvements on U.S. 321 Realign Amerine Rd and Grandview Dr
These are awkward intersections. Please fix.
Montvale Rd (SR-336) Widening
yes, needed.
Montvale Rd (SR-336) Widening
This is a worthwhile project, in a area of growth.
W Broadway Ave (SR-33/US-411) Improvements
Fix this problem intersection.
Maryville to Townsend Greenway - Phase 1 (Brown Creek)
Love to bike and walk Blount County - please complete!
Sevierville Rd (SR-35/US-411) Widening
Yes, good idea.
Amerine Road Improvements
This was supposed to serve a WalMart that is not going to be built...
Carpenters Grade Rd Reconstruction and Intersection Improvements
More growth induced congestion makes this needed.
Montvale Rd (SR-336) Widening
This is another narrow rural road that is unsafe and needs improvement.
Sevierville Rd (SR-35/US-411) Widening
I live on Sevierville Road, east of this section, and drive it daily. It has been dangerous for decades and needs turn lanes at intersections and shoulders.
Sevierville Rd (SR-35/US-411) Widening
Heavily used and too narrow.
Tuckaleechee Pike Reconstruction
Definitely needs longer turn lane and wider lanes.
Tuckaleechee Pike Reconstruction
Heavily travelled and too narrow.
Washington Street Improvements from E. Broadway Ave. to U.S. 321
This has become congested and this can help.
Wilkinson Pike Widening
Another narrow and dangerous road.
Carpenters Grade Rd Reconstruction and Intersection Improvements
This project is necessary for the safety of Blount county residents and workers because of recent development that is increasing and will continue to increase traffic. We should address existing needs before using our limited road funds for new roads.

Old Niles Ferry Road Widening
This is a project that should go forward. There has been explosive growth on or near this road. Traffic on this road has grown exponentially.

Maryville to Townsend Greenway - Phase 1 (Brown Creek)
This will enhance the active travel areas of Maryville and Alcoa will improve access.
Montvale Rd (SR-336) Widening
This project has been in the works too long and needs to be completed
Old Niles Ferry Road Widening
Bikes and pedestrians sharing road together with motor traffic with no ability to maintain a safe space.
Sevierville Rd (SR-35/US-411) Widening
Traffic increases make this impoprtant
Tuckaleechee Pike Reconstruction
Turn lanes should improve access to some of the commercial properties on Tuckaleechee near 321.
Washington Street Improvements from E. Broadway Ave. to U.S. 321
This is much needed for the area. Tight lanes on this stretch.
Maryville to Townsend Greenway - Phase 1 (Brown Creek)
This will be a wonderful addition to the City of Maryville's existing Greenway Trail system and will be a nice connection for residents on the east side of town.
Washington Street Improvements from E. Broadway Ave. to U.S. 321
These improvements are long over due. The roadway needs to be improved for both vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
Amerine Road Improvements
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.
Montvale Rd (SR-336) Widening
This will be a much-needed upgrade. There is school-bound traffic twice a day, and safety is a concern as well as traffic problems. Also, many pedestrians, bicyclists, and walkers want to be able to use this road safely as it is near neighborhoods and schools. We should be upgrading our roads to reflect interest in people getting outside and using the greenway, whether for recreation, exercise, or going to and from the schools. I lived in this neighborhood for many years and always wished Montvale would get upgrades. The sidewalks will be a great improvement, as will the turnlane.
Montvale Rd (SR-336) Widening
Montvale Road is in desperate need of more sidewalks and pedestrian facilities. These have been promised to us for years but the city has never followed through. As someone who walked to school along Montvale Road for most of my life (walked to Sam Houston, Maryville Junior High, and Maryville High School), I know how dangerous the road is for pedestrians, especially during the after school rush. This project would improve safety and accessibility for an important road in Maryville.
Montvale Rd (SR-336) Widening
I support this project. This road is so busy that a left turn anywhere near this neighborhood is almost impossible at many times throughout the day. I maneuver this neighborhood very often and I go out of my way, around the block or around several blocks just to make right turns or go all the way down to a light. It feels very unsafe when on foot or bicycle as well. More time, attention, and fiscal resources need to continue to improve this danger zone.
Montvale Rd (SR-336) Widening
I support this project.? Having lived in this neighborhood at one time, we know that a way to cross Montvale Road safely, and for walkers and bikers to have safe access the greenway and schools, has been needed for years.? Moreover, traffic on this road gets very backed up at school opening and closing hours.? A center turn lane would be a huge help.? These improvements are long overdue, and I know how much difference it will make for residents whether they are on foot or in the car.
Montvale Rd (SR-336) Widening
Montvale Road in another very narrow highway with lots of traffic. The drop-offs on the edges of the road are very severe in many sections and make it one of the most dangerous roads in the county. This road has become an artery for bike traffic to the foothills parkway, but riding a bike on this road and others (Sevierville Road, Mint Road, e.g.) is taking one's life in one's hands. Any improvement plan to widen any of these older roads should also consider adding bike lanes to make it much safer. More and more residents and visitors like to ride bikes in the county and the state should make an effort to make that activity as safe as possible. Not all bike riders want to use the Greenways in the cities.

Sevierville Rd (SR-35/US-411) Widening
Sevierville Road is dangerous.? It could be much improved by adding shoulders, and widening to three lanes where possible.? Perhaps some of its traffic could be removed by providing a better east-west alternative route between Sevier County and Maryville? such as improving Ellejoy/Jeffries Hollow/ Wye Roads.? This corridor has a rapidly increasing traffic load, but it may still be sufficiently rural to accommodate widening.? One problem with this route is the ?Wye? intersection with Chapman Highway?a needed improvement not on your project list.? We find it frighteningly dangerous.
Sevierville Rd (SR-35/US-411) Widening
HWY 411, Sevierville Rd -- a very busy route between Maryville and Seymour/Sevierville/Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg.Please create some shoulders. This is a dangerous road.
