Submitted by R. Neal on Thu, 11/11/2010 - 09:14

The Maryville Daily Times has an interview with Alcoa City Manager Mark Johnson about the Alcoa Parkway/bypass project. Mr. Johnson explains some of the history, including objections from the business community regarding an earlier TDOT plan to correct the existing highway. He also invites citizens to come talk to the city about the project.

From the article:

He also reported the noise issue was raised Tuesday night.

"I hear from my house (in St. Ives Subdivision) the constant roar of Alcoa Highway. It's not burdensome. I don't hear the jets anymore," Johnson said.

We are a little surprised by these remarks from the usually more circumspect Mr. Johnson.

About this site

The purpose of this site is to provide an online clearinghouse for information about the proposed Alcoa Parkway bypass and to promote public awareness and public participation in the process. We believe that the original proposal to improve the existing Alcoa Highway corridor needs a second look as a viable alternative for correcting safety and capacity problems, and that the public should have more input in selecting the preferred build alternative.
