September 18th Update

Good afternoon. This has been a busy week behind the scenes. The city has been working with our consultants to meet additional requests from TDOT for our Environmental Clearance document. We have also been working on the proposed Cumberland Ave. Form Code and have a meeting with various deparments next week to review the proposed code and plan the public review process.

Also the link on the right hand side provides the minutes from the September 3 Physical Land Use Subcommittee from the Ft. Sanders Long Range Planning process. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me at awallace@cityofknoxville.org. The next full committee meeting is scheduled for 3:00pm at the Knoxville Museum of Art. Please note the location change.

Thanks and have a great weekend. Go Vols!

Project Updates

The City is continuing to work with our consultants on the Streetscape Project. Our Environmental Clearance Request document has been sent to TDOT and reviewed. The City, Vaughn & Melton and S&ME are currently working to provide TDOT with additional information that has been requested for this process.

Also the City is continuing to review the Technical Memos, "Traffic, Pedestrian, Bicycle and Transit Operations Study" that have been provided by our consultants Gresham, Smith and Partners. These documents will help provide the basis for the design work, when the City is approved to move into that phase of the project.

More information will be posted on the Ft. Sanders Long Range Planning Process as the subcommittee meeting notes are compiled. Thanks!

Happy Labor Day Weekend!

Thanks to everyone who participated in the Fort Sanders Subcommittee meetings yesterday! They were very productive and we look forward to providing updates to you on those meetings over the next few weeks. A spreedsheet detailing the Implementation Strategies from the previous planing efforts, what has been accomplished and opportunities for the future, is located in a link on the right. This will help to guide the committees as they formulate recommendations by the end of the calendar year.

I hope everyone has a wonderful long weekend and is able to enjoy the University's first home game and the city's Boomsday Festival. For more information on Boomsday events please visit: http://www.cityofknoxville.org/Press_Releases/Content/2009/0901c.asp
