Sevierville Rd (SR-35/US-411) Widening
Sevierville Road is dangerous.? It could be much improved by adding shoulders, and widening to three lanes where possible.? Perhaps some of its traffic could be removed by providing a better east-west alternative route between Sevier County and Maryville? such as improving Ellejoy/Jeffries Hollow/ Wye Roads.? This corridor has a rapidly increasing traffic load, but it may still be sufficiently rural to accommodate widening.? One problem with this route is the ?Wye? intersection with Chapman Highway?a needed improvement not on your project list.? We find it frighteningly dangerous.

HWY 411, Sevierville Rd -- a very busy route between Maryville and Seymour/Sevierville/Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg.Please create some shoulders. This is a dangerous road.
Montvale Rd (SR-336) Widening
This will be a much-needed upgrade. There is school-bound traffic twice a day, and safety is a concern as well as traffic problems. Also, many pedestrians, bicyclists, and walkers want to be able to use this road safely as it is near neighborhoods and schools. We should be upgrading our roads to reflect interest in people getting outside and using the greenway, whether for recreation, exercise, or going to and from the schools. I lived in this neighborhood for many years and always wished Montvale would get upgrades. The sidewalks will be a great improvement, as will the turnlane.
Montvale Rd (SR-336) Widening
Montvale Road is in desperate need of more sidewalks and pedestrian facilities. These have been promised to us for years but the city has never followed through. As someone who walked to school along Montvale Road for most of my life (walked to Sam Houston, Maryville Junior High, and Maryville High School), I know how dangerous the road is for pedestrians, especially during the after school rush. This project would improve safety and accessibility for an important road in Maryville.

I support this project. This road is so busy that a left turn anywhere near this neighborhood is almost impossible at many times throughout the day. I maneuver this neighborhood very often and I go out of my way, around the block or around several blocks just to make right turns or go all the way down to a light. It feels very unsafe when on foot or bicycle as well. More time, attention, and fiscal resources need to continue to improve this danger zone.

I support this project.? Having lived in this neighborhood at one time, we know that a way to cross Montvale Road safely, and for walkers and bikers to have safe access the greenway and schools, has been needed for years.? Moreover, traffic on this road gets very backed up at school opening and closing hours.? A center turn lane would be a huge help.? These improvements are long overdue, and I know how much difference it will make for residents whether they are on foot or in the car.

Montvale Rd (SR-336) Widening
Montvale Road in another very narrow highway with lots of traffic. The drop-offs on the edges of the road are very severe in many sections and make it one of the most dangerous roads in the county. This road has become an artery for bike traffic to the foothills parkway, but riding a bike on this road and others (Sevierville Road, Mint Road, e.g.) is taking one's life in one's hands. Any improvement plan to widen any of these older roads should also consider adding bike lanes to make it much safer. More and more residents and visitors like to ride bikes in the county and the state should make an effort to make that activity as safe as possible. Not all bike riders want to use the Greenways in the cities.
