City staff and design and right-of-way acquisition consultants will hold a public meeting on the Sevier Avenue Streetscapes Project at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Apr. 5, 2018 at South Knoxville Elementary School, 801 Sevier Ave.
Work is expected to begin in spring 2019 on the Sevier Avenue Streetscapes Improvement Project, which will install new sidewalks, lighting and landscaping along the South Waterfront business corridor – between Davenport Road and a new roundabout planned for the intersection of Sevier Avenue, Foggy Bottom Road and Island Home Avenue.

At this April 5 public meeting, City staff will update stakeholders, including the residents of the Old Sevier community, on the next phases for the project. Vaughn and Melton Consulting Engineers, the City’s design consultant, and other project team members will discuss the right-of-way acquisition process and timeline leading to the start of construction.
