In an effort to help shape future development along the I-269 Corridor in Tennessee, the Transportation Policy Board (TPB) of the Memphis Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) recommended a study to look at how the jurisdictions along the Tennessee portion of I-269, would like to see the corridor developed. This was accomplished using a visioning and scenario planning process that encouraged citizens and communi- ties to explore and debate regional growth visions, trade-offs, and alternative future scenarios related to the I-269 Corridor in Tennessee. CHAPTER 2: EXISTING CONDITIONS The Memphis region has become one of the nation’s top multimodal transportation hubs, due to its inter- connected water, roadway, air, and rail infrastructure. Transportation facilities in the Memphis region must balance serving freight transportation as well as the area’s 1.2 million residents. Additionally, this must be done in a way that designed to reduce negative impacts to the region’s environment, existing communities, businesses, and residents. Interstate 269 was designed as a component of I-69, which will eventually connect Mexico to Canada across the United States, serving both domestic and international trade along the corridor. The I-269 loop was included to respond to local traffic growth and demands of the Memphis region and to provide access between communities in the region. The combination of I-69 through the center of Memphis and the I-269 loop around the city was designed to both alleviate congestion within the city while improving connectivity throughout the region and to provide an interconnected facility that will help attract new jobs to the region. I-269 is an approximately 64 mile long interstate facility through Desoto and Marshall Counties in Missis- sippi and Shelby and Fayette Counties in Tennessee. I-269, which is centered on the city of Memphis, begins in Hernando, Mississippi to the south and connects to Millington in northwest Shelby County, Tennessee. This study will examine only the portion of I-269 that lies within Tennessee, approximately 36.2 miles, and look in more detail at the 15 existing and planned interchanges along I-269 within Tennessee. In Chapter 2 Existing Conditions, an analysis was performed to examine employment, commuting pat- terns, traffic volumes, level of service, and crash data for a study area comprised of a one mile offset in each direction from the I-269 alignment. EMPLOYMENT AND COMMUTING PATTERNS As of 2010, the I-269 TN study area was home to approximately 10,500 workers, the majority of whom (95%) worked outside the study area. For those resident workers commuting outside of the study area to work, roughly 65% commute to the city of Memphis for their primary jobs. A similar commuting pattern is evident for the nearly 8,000 workers employed inside the I-269 Tennessee study area, with 94% of those workers commuting into the study area from residences outside. In contrast to the sectors of employment for residents of the study area, the jobs inside the study area lean somewhat more heavily toward manufac- turing and retail. The top sectors for employment within the I-269 study area in 2010 were: Manufacturing (26.6%); Retail Trade (18.5%); Health Care and Social Assistance (11.3%); Wholesale Trade (8.5%); Administra- tion & Support, Waste Management and Remediation (6.3%); and Construction

Genia Stadler When asked to describe herself and her love for the Smokies, she said, “I was born in Alabama, but Tennessee always felt like home to me. My love for the Smokies started as a small child. My daddy brought me here each summer before he passed away. I was 9 when he died, and by then I had fallen in love with the Smokies. My husband (Gary) and I had the chance to build a cabin and move here in 2002, so we jumped at the chance. Since then, we’ve been exploring the park as often as we can. We’ve probably hiked over 300 miles of the park’s trails (many repeats), and I’m trying to pass my love for this place on to my two children and two grandchildren.

  • Historic Route 66 Auto Tour — Williams to Flagstaff, Arizona Williams Ranger District Kaibab National Forest
    Southwestern Region United States Department of Agriculture RG-3-07-07 Forest Service July 2013 Historic Route 66 Auto Tour — Williams to Flagstaff, Arizona Williams Ranger District Kaibab National Forest Points of Interest Take a trip back in time, to a day when driving across America meant finding adventure and freedom on the open road. Imagine what it was like when Arizona’s first tourists saw scenic wonders like the Navajo Indian Reservation, Petrified Forest, Grand Canyon National Park, and pine-laden Kaibab National Forest. Cruise down memory lane and discover the past on Historic Route 66. Williams served travelers on Route 66 as part of the “Main Street of America.” Now called Bill Williams Avenue in this picturesque western town, the historic road is still lined with businesses dating from the highway’s heyday. In 1984, Williams became the last Route 66 town in America to be bypassed by Interstate 40. The tour winds through beautiful scenery toward Bill Williams Mountain. Interstate 40 now covers this section of Route 66 at Davenport Lake. Pittman Valley was first settled by ranchers in the 1870s. Tourists found guest cabins and a gas station along the road here. Historic Route 66 Auto Tour ― Williams to Flagstaff, AZ 1 Garland Prairie Vista has a beautiful view of the San Francisco Peaks, the highest mountains in Arizona. A favorite with photographers, this view appeared on many Route 66 postcards. Parks is a small community that started out as a railroad stop in the 1880s and later became a wayside for highway tourists. When the highway was thriving, the area had a Forest Service campground, several motels, gas stations, curio shops, and a road that led north to the Grand Canyon.
