Applicant Request
− +Close Street
From Intersection of UT Dr. and Todd Helton Dr.
west line of Todd Helton Dr.
west line of Todd Helton Dr.
To W. Cumberland Ave.
south line of W. Cumberland Ave.
south line of W. Cumberland Ave.
Reason for Closure
The request is consistent with other ROW closures approved by Knoxville-Knox County Planning within the core of the campus. The street is within the defined institutional zone as outlined on the campus master plan. As with the ROW closure of the other section of Volunteer Blvd., the campus plans to develop an extensive streetscape project, by improving the road, sidewalks, lighting, seating, and initiate landscape enhancements. The improvements should be similar to the improvements already implemented along Volunteer Blvd. By transferring the remaining section of this street it provides an opportunity to expedite the project to ensure we can standardize the design guidelines. The street shall continue to be a major road through campus, which shall also serve the public and mass transit.
Objections
No objections from any departments or utilities have been received by staff as of the date of this report.
