Crest Road Sidewalk Project Gets Underway
City of Maryville Engineering and Public Works has begun the process of installing sidewalks along Crest Road near Coulter Grove Intermediate School. The purpose of the project is to provide safety for children who walk to school, connect neighborhoods, enhance aesthetics, fix minor drainage problems along Crest Road and Charles Coulter Road, and preserve the integrity of the road. The construction phase of the project is set to begin in November 2020, and end in April of 2021. If you would like more information, you may visit the Engineering Department’s web page at www.maryvillegov.com/engineering.html. Citizens are invited to schedule a one-on-one “Zoom” call with city staff to discuss the project. Simply click the following link to select a date & time for your call: https://calendly.com/city-of-maryville-engineering/project-stakeholder-q-a. If you would like to discuss the project over the phone, you may call (865) 273-3500. Or send an email with any comments or questions to: ktstoltenberg@maryville-tn.gov. |
Frequently Asked Questions: use the tabs below for more information
Neighborhood Speed Bump Installation Process
Speed bumps are only considered for neighborhoods after several steps have been taken to ensure the need.
Before traffic calming devices (like speed bumps) can be installed, first the site must be studied to evaluate through traffic conditions, speed issues, and accident reports. The Engineering and Public Works department will perform this study.
Next, if an issue is discovered, police will observe and selectively enforce traffic laws.
If the issue still exists, speed bumps will be considered.
Speed Limits
By City Municipal Code, the citywide speed limit is 30 m.p.h. for local and minor streets that are not signed or posted.
Speed limits for City "collector streets" (like Sandy Springs Road) and "arterial streets" (like Lamar Alexander Parkway) are evaluated and established by the Engineering and Public Works Department and approved by City Council through ordinance.

Paving and Maintenance of State Roads
Streets which are classified as state routes such as Broadway Avenue (SR33) and Sevierville Road (SR35) are not typically resurfaced using the same sources of funds. Resurfacing state routes is typically done by TDOT.
Paving and Maintenance of Local Roads
The City is on a three year plan for resurfacing streets. Streets are evaluated based on several criteria and assigned an overall grade.
Budget, location, and traffic patterns - along with grade - are considered when determining street resurfacing priority.

What are the black cords/ tubes used on streets/ roads?
For the purpose of collecting statistical information on traffic speed and volume, the engineering department uses speed sensing equipment, such as pneumatic tubes on roads, as well as radar and other methods.
