Reason for Change

Part of Old Tazewell Pike was closed, which caused the right-of-way to be disconnected. Having non-contiguous road segments with the street name is a safety concern for the Knox County Emergency Communications District. The enclosed map highlights this disconnection and shows the section of Old Tazewell Pike to be renamed (Exhibit C).
