Knoxville, TN (WOKI) Knoxville’s City Council is addressing fixing a busy Knoxville road that’s known for being a hotspot for car crashes.
The Council approved a new project Tuesday for Washington Pike with the goal to add more lanes.
They also want to create a new sidewalk and bicycle paths to make it safer.
The next steps include a community meeting with home and business owners along the road to learn what they think about the project which should take around two years to complete once the property is purchased.
The federal government is funding 80% of this project since the city plans to bid out the construction.
