Desk of Town Administrator Update 8/21/2025

Good news! The temporary traffic signal at the intersection of 11-E and Tiger Way (area of Wendy’s) is set to be replaced with a permanent one in Fall 2025. The project is funded through the Federal Highway Administration and the State of Tennessee, and will provide safer, more reliable travel for drivers. We will continue to update you as we get closer to the start of construction.
In other traffic news, the Town’s Board of Mayor and Aldermen recognizes the traffic and congestion issues along our 11-E corridor. To address those issues, the Board recently approved a contract with Mattern & Craig Engineers to complete a corridor traffic signal study that will help us improve safety, optimize traffic flow, reduce congestion, and promote efficiency in our daily commutes.

The Town is working closely with Lollipop store owner Jeff Gurley to take the necessary steps to complete and submit the town’s Outdoor Use Permit Application regarding Yoda. We will work with Jeff on the review process and will share updates as they become available.

The Outdoor Use Permit is needed to utilize a portion of town sidewalks or right-of-ways on an ongoing basis to carry out business or other such activities along Main Street. There is NO FEE associated with this Permit.

Re-Paving Project Notice

The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) has started a paving project on the New Boones Creek Road today. The project is re-paving the New Boones Creek Road from Jackson Boulevard through the city limits, to just beyond the railroad trestle in Boones Creek.  According to TDOT, the project should be completed mid-September 2025.

Update from Town Administrator: New Hope Road

We have been exploring the concept of a connector road at New Hope Road. There is funding available in the budget for this project. No engineering or design plans have been developed or approved at this time. We intend on having a process to seek public input well in advance of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen taking any final action on the project.

Stay tuned for updates and public input opportunities.
