Upcoming NCNA Road Safety Meeting
We have two upcoming Road Safety meetings that all are welcome to attend. Please let us know that you are coming so that we are sure to have enough space by emailing us at northchattanooganeighbors@gmail.com:
Thursday, October 3rd, 6:30 p.m. at Wyatt Rec Center (in the small building).
A joint meeting of the Responsible Growth and Road Safety committees to discuss a collective neighborhood response to the proposed development on Franklin Street and how to work proactively to mitigate potential negative impacts that it could have.
The Road Safety points of interest include the immediate area of development on Franklin as well as the proposed one-way to two-way change on Hamilton, proposed sidewalks on Hamilton and the crosswalk on Dallas near the N. end of Market Street. We would like to arrive at consensus about what we think could be both longer term improvements to the area as well as shorter term changes that are easier to implement while being effective at calming automobile traffic and increasing safety in the area.
Friday, October 11th, 11:45 a.m. at Basecamp on Frazier (location may change if raining or the group is very large).
Carmen Harvey, the City Transportation Engineer, will join us to present updates on the city's rerouting plans during the Walnut St. bridge closure and to provide feedback on our questions and suggestions.
In our discussion with Carmen and afterwards we will be working to finalize the statement on the Walnut closure rerouting that we've drafted. Hopefully we can add more specific suggestions and ideas that may help during the closure period.
If time allows we will also discuss some of the next steps related to the goal of improving Tremont near Hixson Pike.
September 18th updates from Public Works on Frazier and Walnut
If you plan to attend either meeting let us know so that we can secure adequate space: northchattanooganeighbors@gmail.com
