Knox County is launching a mobility study for the Choto area in southwest Knox County to address the challenges of increasing development and traffic congestion. This study will evaluate current and future roadway conditions, assess alternative transportation modes, and identify improvements to enhance safety, capacity, and connectivity in the region.

Study Goals

• Analyze traffic patterns, including current and projected volumes over a 25-year planning horizon.
• Assess roadway safety, capacity, and design standards.
• Evaluate alternative transportation options, such as sidewalks, greenways, and bike lanes.
• Identify and prioritize transportation improvements to address congestion and safety concerns.

Community Engagement

• Online public survey to gather community input.
• Public meetings to discuss current conditions and proposed solutions.
• Final presentation of findings and recommendations.

Deliverables

The study will result in a comprehensive report with prioritized improvement projects, planning-level cost estimates, and actionable recommendations for a safe and efficient transportation system in the Choto area.

Stay tuned for updates, public survey opportunities, and project milestones as this important initiative progresses.
