Knoxville Sidewalk Talk
Why haven’t I heard anything about this anywhere else? According to WBIR, a group of concerned Fountain City residents are “pushing hard for a new citywide ordinance that would force developers to add sidewalks to any new or refurbished development” in Knoxville. Huh.
Knoxville City Councilman Bob Becker is apparently behind the proposed ordinance and says:
“Making the whole city more pedestrian-friendly changes the dynamic… It moves us from being a very good city into being a great city.”
The city council is going to have a workshop on the issue on June 12th. Maybe someone should send them the link to WalkScore before then?

Go for it. I would love to see more sidewalks. I used to live on Middlebrook and you had no chance to walk anywhere. Same for most neighborhoods.
