I drive on John Sevier Highway multiple times a week to and from work at the Forks of the River Industrial Park and to shopping errands and lunch running for my co-workers. I think it would be a mistake to turn any section of this road into a 4 lane for cars, if each direction had 2 lanes dedicated for vehicular traffic. My hope would be that a 4th lane's equivalent could be a half a lane added to each direction for bike traffic. My initial reaction to reading the goal of "4 lane" was that it would become a speedway with people passing each other at high speed, a la Chapman Highway. We really don't need that on scenic John Sevier Highway. The current pace of 45-50-ish miles per hour fits the feeling of the width of the road and the proximity to the roadside trees. Thanks for listening.

There is seemingly a lot of larger trucks that use this road to get from Alcoa Highway to the industrial park around Strawberry Plains. Regularly, traffic is 15+ cars deep because of a tractor-trailer rig that is going 10 under the speed limit (35 to 40 mph). The issue is the necessary traffic signals and topography of the area as well. Having an extra lane would make this nightmare much easier to navigate.

I support this project.? A road this heavily traveled needs to be four-laned for both efficiency and safety.
