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.
