− +From Bernard Avenue
To May Avenue
Proposed Street NameVivid Lights St.
Reason for Change
A portion of Richards Street was closed between May and W Fifth Avenues, which caused the northern and southern portions of this right-of-way to be disconnected. Having non-contiguous road segments with the same street name is a safety concern for the Knox County Emergency Communications District. Richards Street between Bernard and May Avenues was selected for the proposed renaming as no occupiable buildings will be affected by the change.
