Public Meeting Jan. 21 to Review Designs for Magnolia Ave. Streetscapes Project

Posted: 01/08/2016
City of Knoxville Office of Redevelopment and Engineering Department staff and design consultants with Barge, Waggoner, Sumner and Cannon will present the design details for Magnolia Avenue streetscape improvements at a public meeting on Thursday, Jan. 21 from 5:30-7 p.m. at the John T. O'Connor Senior Center at 611 Winona St.

The meeting will review final designs for streetscape improvements to a six-block section of Magnolia Avenue between Jessamine Street and North Bertrand Street.

Proposed improvements include raised medians to replace the center left-turn lane; bike lanes; improved sidewalks; bus pull-offs; and streetscape amenities that include street lighting, benches and bike racks. Traffic signals will be upgraded, and pedestrian signals and crosswalks will be improved. Left-turn lanes will be provided at major intersections. 

Can’t attend? There will be a two-week public comment period following the Jan. 21 meeting. Email your ideas or comments to [email protected].
