"In today�s fast-moving environment, community growth patterns are shifting, citizens�
expectations are changing and residents� transportation needs are diverse. TDOT�s
highway projects, however, still require years to complete. The Department realizes that
to keep pace with the 21st century society, TDOT needs to change and update some of its
planning and business practices. The Case Study described and documented herein is
intended as an initial step for TDOT in this change process. Through the review of the 15
major highway projects, including the James White Parkway Extension project, the Case
Study will provide critical input for TDOT to begin to identify areas for improvement and
ways to better serve Tennessee�s citizens."

"This project would sacrifice South Knoxville Neighborhoods for
the convenience of those who have chosen to live outside the
city. Residents of the South City Sector value the relatively rural
quality of South Knoxville. We don�t want our older neighbor-
hoods bisected, and we don�t need the commercialism
from which those few who are actively
supporting this project hope to gain."
