A BIG THANK-YOU
To everyone who attended the last FBMA meeting,
Thank-you! for attending and making your voices heard concerning Grigsby Chapel Road. For all those folks from Farragut Commons, Ramsgate, Windham Hall, Fox Den, & others who came out to speak on the traffic problems that are making our streets unsafe. Your participation was greatly needed and now it is up to us to keep that fire burning until the FBMA formally declares its plan to fix the challenges we have set before them.
Now I know this problem will not be fixed overnight, but now that the board formally knows about them and has committed resources to investigate how bad of a problem this is, they will have to acknowledge that whatever fix they implement must be one that will be long-term, not just a "band-aid" fix.
I do hope that once the fixes have been implemented, Grigsby Chapel Road no longer becomes a cut-through to Loudon County, and that it becomes a safe road once again.

I agree with FR good job. Traffic safety has taken a backseat in all of Knox County. If the citizebs don't stand up for it who will. More people need to get involved.I worry about my kids safety and they just ride, not drive. the school situation is another thing that needs to be addressed. Has anyone thought of putting together a safety committee made up of citizens. Would the county listen to it?

Someone needs to suggest it to the county mayor. It should involve citizens from Farragut, Knoxville as well as officers from the KPD, KFD, R/M and KCSD. I have no idea if Mayor Ragsdale would even consider it, but I think he should. Our safety depends on it.
