Call it a bump in the road or an unplanned detour, but the reason nobody saw any Traffic Calming ballots in their mailboxes is because Old North Knoxville had to put its balloting on hold.
With the help of David Watson and the staff and volunteers at the East Tennessee Community Design Center,
Bill Cole of City of Knoxville Traffic Engineering Department, Annalee Bohon and volunteers from Old North Knoxville (ONK), and input from two public meetings, a plan had been developed that residents of the neighborhood were about to vote on.
However, a funny thing happened on the way to the mailbox: the City of Knoxville decided to study the issue and possibly come up with a formal recommendation. At present, an ad hoc committee looking into traffic calming city wide is meeting every other Wednesday at 5 p.m. in the small assembly room of the City County Building.
A meeting was held Wednesday, May
12th. Future meetings are open to the public and anybody interested is encouraged to attend.
The committee plans to make a formal recommendation to the city this September. Once that is done, ONK will decide what we need to do to move forward with our traffic calming.
