Knox County Again Seeks Input on East Knox County Mobility Study
Knox County is seeking community input tied to the East Knox Mobility Study. Officials with the county’s mobility study team would like folks to help prioritize the final list of 23 projects designed to help improve safety and connectivity across East Knox County.
The feedback will help determine a phased approach to implementing the projects. To participate, folks can log onto the survey’s website here or scan the QR code, which will be posted on the county’s various social media platforms.
The website features an Interactive Project Map that provides more details about each transportation project and asks participants to help project leaders understand certain priorities by rating each project. Additionally, the website features a “Funding Tool” option that lets participants select projects to fund based on a limited budget.
The idea is to help county and project leaders identify which projects are most important to members of the East Knox County community.
“To ensure that your voice is heard in shaping the future of transportation in East Knox County, we have provided two activities where you can share your feedback,” mobility team members said. “The final projects have been identified based on public and stakeholder input, safety assessments, and the Comprehensive Land Use and Transportation Plan. Your feedback will be instrumental in helping to prioritize these projects.”
The deadline to complete the survey is April 18.
Late last year, the county held several public information meetings to identify key transportation challenges, set priorities, and shape the final recommendations for the study.
About the Study: The East Knox County Mobility Study is a community-focused initiative designed to enhance transportation planning for the Gibbs, Corryton, Ritta, Strawberry Plains, and Mascot areas. This study will support the new Comprehensive Land Use and Transportation Plan. The study will integrate transportation best practices and consider all modes of travel.
