  • Section III Corridor Design Introduction
    Section Corridor Design III Section III: Corridor Design 28 Knox to Oak Ridge Greenway Master Plan Section III Corridor Design Introduction The Greenway Vision The vision for this greenway is much more than a linear path. The greenway has potential to connect neighborhoods, to link children to schools, and to bring users to the natural world. It can be key to improving the mental and physical health of residents and workers and be a means of transportation for work and play. Perhaps its greatest potential is to be a major draw of the Technology Corridor, attracting businesses that are drawn to relocate, in part, because of it. The vision is of office parks and campuses that incorporate open space and internal trail systems connecting to the greenway as part of their design. This vision provides opportunities for whole office complexes to have an opportunity for increased health and productivity, for bike commuters to utilize the system to get to work, and for reduced motor vehicle traffic because of increased greenway use for transportation. This vision promotes the redevelopment of the Solway area surrounding Melton Hill Lake, creating a more vibrant, walkable commercial experience that is oriented toward the Lake and connects to Melton Lake Greenway, Haw Ridge, the UT Arboretum, and Oak Ridge. This vision sets defining principles that drive corridor design. Existing site conditions, opportunities, constraints, and input from the Technical Advisory Committee and public all have informed the corridor design recommendations. Design Principles of the Greenway Below are guiding principles to design the preferred and alternative greenway corridors: Connect Infrastructure, Connect People.

  • Pellissippi Parkway Extension
    INTRODUCTION This report documents traffic volume forecasts for a proposed extension of Pellissippi Parkway / I-140 from State Route 33 to US Highway 321 in Blount County, Tennessee. These forecasts represent an update to previous forecasts produced in 2007 and updated in 2011. The purpose of the current update is to incorporate changes from the new Knoxville Regional Travel Demand Model (adopted in June 2013 for horizon year 2034). The traffic forecasts provide estimates of future traffic volumes for horizon years 2020 and 2040 without and with the proposed Pellissippi Parkway Extension. The traffic volume estimates for conditions with the proposed Pellissippi Parkway Extension are based upon the preferred alignment as documented in TDOT’s Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The area included in this updated study was modified from previous versions to eliminate intersections that have been shown to not be influenced by the Pellissippi Parkway Extension. The modified study area is shown on Figure 1. The process used to develop the updated traffic forecasts in this study was approved by the TDOT’s Strategic Transportation Investments Division. In general, the process included four major steps: field data collection, data tabulation, validation or adjustment of segment volumes from the regional travel demand model, and estimation of future traffic volumes for horizon years 2020 and 2040 at specific intersections and segments impacted by the proposed Pellissippi Parkway extension.
