The council explored solutions including a traffic light (estimated at $3 million), implementing a one-way southbound configuration on Locust Street to reduce congestion and improve visibility, and conducting a traffic study, with concerns noted about impacts on adjacent streets and the narrowness of streets in the area. Mayor Cusat indicated that Locust Street would be the only road paved in the area and favored the one-way street approach to alleviate congestion on Church Street.

  • Douglas T Lubienski 3201 Hopson Hollow Rd, Knoxville, TN 37931

    Knoxville, TN
    Proposal

    Douglas T Lubienski of Knoxville submitted a proposal response opposing a planned Walmart Neighborhood Market at Schaad Road and Bakertown Road, citing insufficient time for affected homeowners associations to review the project and raising concerns about redundant services given existing shopping and fuel options, ongoing Weigel's development, and potential traffic and safety issues. He identified specific concerns including dangerous driveway proximity to Truitt Path Lane, lack of clarity on protective landscaping installation, unrealistic traffic impact assessments, and misalignment with the county's "Advance Knox" growth plan, while suggesting relocation further west on Schaad Road as an alternative that would better prioritize local resident interests over commercial development.
