Corryton: A Village Community Surrounded by a Permanent Greenbelt

Components of a village community are in place, including school, branch library, post office, community center, churches, park and walking trail. Compact, pedestrian friendly development should be encouraged in the future. Lack of sewer extensions south of the railroad crossing currently constrains the ability to have compact development.

General rezoning to planned residential is needed to insure quality development in the future. The natural ‘greenbelt’ provided by flood prone areas should be protected.

Improvements to Corryton and Davis Roads are needed for added safety when transporting children to the elementary school and also ensuring that rural metro can respond quickly to emergencies. Greenway connections between the park, existing trail and elementary school are also a priority.
