Significant opportunities

Island Home Avenue:
Water tolerant species should be planted to reinforce the bank along the river; removal of invasive species is also recommended. Trail access along the river should be considered with landscape programs.

Sevier Avenue:
This avenue is characterized by a hodge-podge of sidewalk conditions and large expanses of asphalt. An overall design for sidewalks and street tree improvements is needed. Additionally, there is a major planting opportunity to better define the intersection of Sevier Avenue and Island Home Avenue where Jersey barriers currently exist.

“Vestal Village”:
Martin Mill Pike and Ogle Avenue are the center of a potential mixed-use area, which could include retail and office space and housing. Sidewalk and street tree programs should be part of an improvement program. There are large expanses of asphalt along Martin Mill Pike, south of Chapman Highway that could be significantly enhanced with street trees during public and private redevelopment.

Moody Avenue Extension:
The design of the Moody Avenue extension should include sidewalks, which are separated by planting strips and street trees. A landscaped median should also be considered.

Kudzu Removal:
South Knoxville has many areas where Kudzu should be eradicated to recapture the natural beauty of its woodlands.

Young High Pike:
Continue an informal planting pattern around the post office.
