Close Street
From 2303 Atchley St
Atchley Street
To 2302 Sam Houston St
Sam Houston Street
Reason for Closure
The road was never improved or completed by the city. Upon inquiries to the Knoxville engineering and Knoxville Planning office, we were informed there are no plans to further develop the road. Closure of this road would help enhance the 2 adjacent lots and make 0 Boggs Ave. a buildable city lot which would further add to the City tax base.
ObjectionsThe City's Engineering Department, KUB and AT&T retain all rights and easements. TDOT and the City's Fire Department have no comments or objections.

rights for existing facilities, whether or not identified in our research.
