Discuss Downtown/SoKno Connectivity on Oct. 15
A second public meeting as part of the Downtown / South Knoxville Connectivity Study is scheduled for 5:30-7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 15, at the East Tennessee History Center, 601 S. Gay St.
In May, the City of Knoxville launched the Connectivity Study with a drop-in open house and an online survey.
Residents are invited to attend this second follow-up public meeting on Oct. 15 at the History Center, where they can share their perspectives - and they also can learn what their neighbors have told planners so far in the information-gathering process.
City and CDM Smith planners want to know: When traveling between Downtown and South Knoxville, what's most important - travel time? Safety? Community character? Walking/biking connections?
Which bridge(s) crossing the Tennessee River have capacity to efficiently move more commuters? And what future planning efforts do residents think would be most impactful for improving travel across the river?
About 500 people participated in the survey or engaged at the May 5 public meeting.
The Downtown / South Knoxville Connectivity Study is assessing opportunities to improve connectivity across the Tennessee River. The study is focusing on lower-cost high-impact improvements that strengthen access and mobility, and its findings will guide the City's future planning.
The City of Knoxville ensures meaningful access to City programs, services, and activities to comply with Civil Rights Title VI and ADA Title II laws and reasonably provides: translation, interpretation, modifications, accommodations, alternative formats, auxiliary aids and services.
