The large amount of traffic passing through Nadine Street, a residential area without stopping or without at least one trip end is traffic that would be better served by the local street system intended for through traffic, but, for various reasons, uses the residential street of Nadine.
Many of these cut through motorists drive too fast on Nadine Street and it is only a matter of time before someone is hurt!
In addition to safety issues, speeding vehicles degrade the quality of the street for all other users, signaling that the street is extremely devoted to traffic, imparting a general feeling that things are "not right" in the neighborhood.
We also have a lot of pedestrians on Nadine Street and very little of Nadine Street has a sidewalk for our fellow neighbors and friends to walk on. With this in mind, we would like Knox County to use a little of the tax money we pay and put in a sidewalk and traffic calming devises.
If you would be so kind as to fill out the application form found at this link
http://www.knoxcounty.org/epw/pdfs/traffic_calming_app.pdf
and mail it in to the address on the form, we just might be able to walk safely on our neighborhood streets again.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
