The Natural Environment
Streams, Ponds, Lakes, Wetlands, and Hydric SoilsSeveral wetland areas were noted in field visits, particularly around the Blue Springs area (See Figure 1) and likely along Turkey Creek south of Blue Springs. However, National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) data do not identify these as wetlands, and hydrology data indicate them as open water. A comparison of aerial photos over time indicate these areas are likely a complex of wetlands and open waters that fluctuate consistently. Hydric soils can be an indicator of potential wetlands, drained wetlands, or indicate wetland areas not captured by NWI data. Hydric soils, which exist throughout the Turkey Creek floodplain, form under saturated conditions and are routinely flooded or prone to ponding. Guidelines for wetlands include:
• Delineate future wetlands as part of corridor design studies. NWI does not always identify wetlands, so infuture plans, a survey of the property should delineate any potential wetlands prior to design.
• Avoid impacts to wetlands. If wetland impacts occur, a Section 401 certification through the U.S. Army Corpsof Engineers (USACE) is required and the State is involved in 401 certification in partner with USACE.
• Define a 25-foot buffer for wetlands. Knox County requires a 25-foot buffer from wetlands in which nodisturbance should occur.
Steep Slopes The majority of steep slopes within this site are cut/fill slopes graded for buildings. The areas that are shown in red on most maps generally indicate the cut/fill areas that will make greenway development more challenging.
Threatened and Endangered Species Threatened and endangered species may occur in some areas in the Blue Springs and/or the Turkey Creek floodplain. A table of these potential species occurrences is available in Appendix C in the Knox to Oak Ridge Greenway Master Plan. In the design and construction phases, future exploration should determine the potential impact to these species because use of federal money for greenway construction will trigger this requirement.

The Built/Human Environment
Utilities The study area has transmission lines, utility towers, and sewer infrastructure. Major utility corridors are indicated on the maps. It is important to note that the maps do not include minor utility lines, many of which were observed in site visits.
Transportation Several aspects of the existing transportation network were analyzed in the study area, including ROW, planned improvements, existing on-street bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure (crosswalks, sidewalks, bicycle lanes, etc.), and existing greenways. Following are some existing conditions that inform opportunities and challenges for the development of a greenway.
The I-40/75 Interstate Crossing (At Lovell Road)
There are several considerations for crossing I-40/75 which are shown in the table below:
I-40/75 Crossing Option Opportunity ConstraintFuture DOT Planned Improvements
Option
ALovell Road and I-40/75 Interchange, Bridge Attachment
There is potential for pedestrian refuge islands.
Off and on-ramps would have some safety challenges for users, even if pedestrian islands and crossings were in place.
No
Option
B
Detached Pedestrian Bridge—Crossing From Existing Turkey Creek Greenway to North Side of Interstate
There is potential for pedestrian refuge islands.
Off and on-ramps would have some safety challenges for users, even if pedestrian islands and crossings were in place.
No
Option
C
Turkey Creek Interstate Underpass With Box Culverts (see note 19 on page 14)
TDOT may in the long-term redesign this bridge, at which time this crossing could be studied.
Clearance and flooding issues would likely make this option unfeasible in its current state.
Yes, bridge reconstruction
(long-term)
Option
D
Lovell Road and I-40/75 Interchange, On-grade Crossing With Separated Path
Wide 10- to 12-foot shoulders (See Figure 3) may allow for a separated path as well as potential for pedestrian refuge islands.
Off and on-ramps would have some safety challenges for users, even if pedestrian islands and crossings were in place.
Yes, interchange reconstruction

Other Two-Lane Bridge Crossings
Additional bridge crossings relevant to the greenway are:
Bridge Reference (Numbers Referenced on Maps on Page 13 and 15)
Bridge Crossings Existing or Potential for Pedestrian / Bicycle Infrastructure and Connectivity
BR-1 Dutchtown Road Bridge
This bridge crosses over Turkey Creek and has no shoulder, making it unfeasible for use in greenway crossing of Turkey Creek, so a separate pedestrian bridge is needed.
BR-2 Outlet Drive Bridge
The bridge’s shoulder allows for around 10 feet of room between the pavement and bridge headwall, making a parallel path to the road feasible. The road has a turning lane which could be removed, providing extra space for a shared-use path with barrier.
BR-3 Private Drive Bridge This bridge has no shoulder and would not accommodate a greenway, making the need for a separate pedestrian bridge likely.
Existing Pedestrian and Bicycle Infrastructure
Sidewalks are shown on the Built Environment and Corridor Design maps and should be considered as key connectors to the greenway. Field visits indicate that not all sidewalks are represented on the Corridor Design maps. A Knoxville Regional Bicycle Program map evaluates routes for bicycle travel. Figure 4 shows an excerpt of the program map. Existing crosswalks are designated as opportunities on the Corridor Design maps.
One of the most important pedestrian/bicycle connectors is Outlet Drive/Snyder Road traveling west out of the study area. There are sidewalks on the majority of the stretch from Outlet Drive to Snyder Road. The Town of Farragut is also planning to make pedestrian improvements just outside of the study area on Campbell Station Road. These improvements would link Farragut pedestrian and bicycle facilities to the Turkey Creek Greenway.
The entire portion of Lovell Road within the study area has sidewalks, and much of it has bicycle lanes. Lovell should be considered as an important connector to the rapidly developing residential area just north of the study area.
Walkability and Schools
There are no public schools within the study area, but there are two large private schools within or adjacent to the study area (as shown on the built environment map on the following page). Figure 4—Knoxville/Knox County Bicycle Map, Knoxville Regional

Bicycling tipsBicycles are vehicles, so you have the same rights as other drivers—but you also have to follow the same rules. That includes stopping at red lights and stop signs. Never ride against traffic.
At intersections, stay in the right-most lane that goes to your destination. (e.g. If you’re going straight, don’t stay in a right-turn-only lane.)
Stay far enough from the curb to avoid hazards like bad drain grates and broken glass. Stay at least 3’ from parked cars to avoid getting hit if someone opens a car door.
Use lights when biking after dark. A white headlight is required, and a red taillight is recommended.
Riding on sidewalks is not recommended. If you do, be very cautious at all driveways and road crossings. Motorists do not expect bicyclists on sidewalks.
About this mapThe Knoxville Regional Bicycle Program has developed this map to assist residents and visitors in finding appropriate routes to bicycle. The roads are classified according to traffic volumes and speeds and the amount of space on the road for bicyclists. This map enables people to choose routes based on the road conditions they prefer. Most local streets are not rated because they tend to have low traffic volumes and speeds and are therefore comfortable for most bicyclists.
This map also shows four signed bike routes between downtown and various destinations. These routes represent the recommended way to get from Point A to Point B. While some of the streets aren’t ideal, bicyclists judged them to be the best available in the area. Cue sheets are available on our website.
Remember that conditions on the roads vary with time of day and day of the week. Increased congestion during rush hour and construction may call for extra caution. Be prepared to make your own evaluation of traffic and road conditions. The user of this map bears the full responsibility for his or her own safety.
Who are we?The Bicycle Program is housed within the Knoxville Regional Transportation Planning Organization and managed by one staff person. Volunteers serve on the Bicycle Advisory Committee and as Bicycling Ambassadors. The Bicycle Program strives to make bicycling safer and more convenient, and encourage more people to bicycle for transportation, exercise and recreation.

Bicycling tipsBicycles are vehicles, so you have the same rights as other drivers—but you also have to follow the same rules. That includes stopping at red lights and stop signs. Never ride against traffic.
At intersections, stay in the right-most lane that goes to your destination. (e.g. If you’re going straight, don’t stay in a right-turn-only lane.)
Stay far enough from the curb to avoid hazards like bad drain grates and broken glass. Stay at least 3’ from parked cars to avoid getting hit if someone opens a car door.
Use lights when biking after dark. A white headlight is required, and a red taillight is recommended.
Riding on sidewalks is not recommended. If you do, be very cautious at all driveways and road crossings. Motorists do not expect bicyclists on sidewalks.
About this mapThe Knoxville Regional Bicycle Program has developed this map to assist residents and visitors in finding appropriate routes to bicycle. The roads are classified according to traffic volumes and speeds and the amount of space on the road for bicyclists. This map enables people to choose routes based on the road conditions they prefer. Most local streets are not rated because they tend to have low traffic volumes and speeds and are therefore comfortable for most bicyclists.
This map also shows four signed bike routes between downtown and various destinations. These routes represent the recommended way to get from Point A to Point B. While some of the streets aren’t ideal, bicyclists judged them to be the best available in the area. Cue sheets are available on our website.
Remember that conditions on the roads vary with time of day and day of the week. Increased congestion during rush hour and construction may call for extra caution. Be prepared to make your own evaluation of traffic and road conditions. The user of this map bears the full responsibility for his or her own safety.
Who are we?The Bicycle Program is housed within the Knoxville Regional Transportation Planning Organization and managed by one staff person. Volunteers serve on the Bicycle Advisory Committee and as Bicycling Ambassadors. The Bicycle Program strives to make bicycling safer and more convenient, and encourage more people to bicycle for transportation, exercise and recreation.

Connecting to Landmarks and DestinationsInput from the Technical Advisory Committee and an online public survey (see Part E) defined major destinations to which the greenway should connect. These spurs could be either greenways or other pedestrian/ bicycle infrastructure. Some of the most mentioned points of connection include:
• Private Schools: Episcopal School of Knoxville and Knoxville Christian School• Kimberly Clarke, Jewelry Television Headquarters, and South College Campus Complex, as well as other
businesses on the east side of Lovell Road along Parkside Drive• Blue Springs• Turkey Creek commercial area• Turkey Creek Medical Center• US Cellular Soccer Complex and Greenway• Natural areas surrounding Turkey Creek• The proposed Knox to Oak Ridge Greenway: With connection across the Pellissippi Parkway Interchange• PetSafe Dog Park• Multiple hotels surrounding Interstate 40/75 around Lovell Road• Office/technology park complex north of Dutchtown Road and west of the Pellissippi Parkway
The Built Environment Map and the following maps will convey locations of these landmarks.
Existing and Proposed Greenways and ParksA major goal of this study is to connect to existing and/or proposed parks and greenways including:
• Existing Turkey Creek Greenway and Wetlands—This 2-mile greenway travels west out of the study area andconnects to a network of existing bicycle and pedestrian facilities, and wetlands.
• Existing Ten Mile Creek Greenway—This greenway is 4 miles east of the study area. It travels in an underpass southof I-40/75 and terminates at a movie theater off of North Peters Road. North Peters Road turns into ParksideDrive, which is the northern terminus of the existing Turkey Creek Greenway. This greenway connects to othergreenways east, eventually leading into Knoxville.
• Proposed Knox to Oak Ridge Greenway—This 13.2-mile proposed greenway would connect into the Ten Mile CreekGreenway, and ultimately to Melton Lake Greenway in Oak Ridge.
• US Cellular Soccer Complex and Greenway (privately owned park)—These fields and greenway are leased to KnoxCounty and open to the public. The lease could be terminated in the future and the complex is not consideredpublic property. The greenway that circles the perimeter of the park is approximately 1.2 miles.
