Fountain City Connections was created from a group of neighborhood interests...

... who saw a safe access between neighborhoods, schools, parks and libraries to be a major concern in this older Knoxville community.

A year ago they completed an audit of pedestrian safety with nationally known engineer, Mark Fenton...

...to assess Fountain City’s problems.

Since then, they have worked with the city and MPC in developing a greenway plan for the area...

... and identified where new sidewalks and safe crossings are most needed.

They have advocated for innovative ways to create pedestrian amenities including public and private partnerships...

...and alternative construction materials to reduce costs and environmental impacts.
