Even
without sidewalks, the streets in North Hills provide a pleasant, safe
environment for pedestrians. They should be protected from traffic cutting
through the neighborhood in search of a quicker route to and from N.
Cherry Street.
Other
recommendations, based on public input:
- Love
Creek Road is an environmentally sensitive area wedged between I-640
and a rail line; it should not be widened.
- Realignment
of Love Creek Road or an alternative route to the east could avoid
destruction of the environmentally sensitive area. Harris Road, if
improved, is viewed as a possible alternative for non-local traffic
currently using Love Creek Road.
- Harris
Road could intersect with Millertown Pike further to the west, reducing
the need to upgrade Love Creek Road.
- Harris
Road should also be connected with an extension of Governor John Sevier
Highway, with the two roadways intersecting at Rutledge Pike.
- Extending
and improving portions of Governor John Sevier Highway would improve
access to Forks of the River Industrial Park, eliminating some of
the industrial traffic cutting through residential neighborhoods in
the East City Sector.
