The open house is set for 5 p.m. until 7 p.m., Tuesday, August 17, at the Bearden Elementary School located at 5717 Kingston Pike.

This meeting will provide the public with an opportunity to learn more about the study and provide comments on the existing operations – including deficiencies - of the roadways within the study area which includes:
