TDOT Comments Requested for Knox-Blount Greenway Project

Dogwood Arts Festival

TDOT held a NEPA Public Hearing on Thursday, June 20, 2013 for the Alcoa Highway project: SR-115 (US-129) - Knox and Blount Counties. The purpose of the hearing was to update the public on the status of the project, to present the findings of the environmental document, to obtain public input and, to provide an opportunity for the public to ask questions.

See TDOT project page for more details on the meeting and the project: http://www.tdot.state.tn.us/sr115/

The local community needs to be proactive in requesting bicycle and pedestrian accommodations, including the greenway, to be taken into account in the design of the Build Alternative. These accommodations will provide critical links to the Knox-Blount Greenway and assist Knoxville and Knox County in expanding their alternative transportation and recreation amenities - linking parks, neighborhoods and commercial areas.

Public comments concerning this project can be submitted by mail or email.

Note: Be sure to include the project name (SR 115, Knox and Blount Counties) in your email or mailed comments.
