The big news on the Cumberland Corridor this week came from Mike Clark's announcement in the Knoxville News Sentinel about the Old College Inn (OCI) making a move eastward towards the center of the district. For more information see Carly Harrington's article here. Bob Whetsel and I were on the corridor today discussing detail design elements and had a chance to drop in at OCI's for lunch. We wish OCI's and Mike Clark all the best in their new venture and want to give everyone a head's up that next month's Cumberland Avenue Merchants Association (CAMA) meeting may be in another location. We will keep you posted or you can find more information at the CAMA Blog.
This weekend also starts Spring Break for UT and Knox County Schools! We hope everyone has a safe and fun filled week. Just a friendly reminder to make sure to protect your residence and vehicles while traveling by removing valuables from sight and locking your doors.

March 4th Update
KUB Update
KUB Community Relations (Contact No. 594-7988)
Re: Traffic Advisory – Area Lane Closures for Utility Work [All work weather permitting]
Cumberland Avenue Lane Closure [March 7] – KUB will close the westbound curbside lane of traffic on a section of Cumberland Avenue between Twenty Second Street and Volunteer Boulevard from 4 – 7 a.m. on Monday, March 7, as work is completed on the water distribution system in this area. One westbound lane, the center turn lane, and both eastbound lanes will remain open on this section of Cumberland Avenue during this period. Tuesday, March 8, will be used as the rain date, if necessary.
Some listed closures may extend beyond the scheduled times depending on the conditions encountered during excavation and construction.
CAMA Update
The Cumberland Avenue Merchants Association met for their regular monthly meeting on Wednesday, March 2 at the Old College Inn. As always, the Knoxville Police Department provided an update on activity within the district and noted that there was reduced activity during the last month. Officer Varner wanted to remind everyone, especially students, that most vehicle break-ins occur as a crime of opportunity (i.e. if something of value is in sight). Be sure to keep valuables out of site and doors locked. The city provided updates on the Cumberland Avenue Streetscape, Form Code, Fort Sanders Stakeholder process, coordination for future construction projects in the area, and the Henley Street Bridge project. For more information about the meeting or merchants association, please visit their blog at http://cumberlandcorridor.blogspot.com/.
