We, the undersigned residents of Craig Road, Milam Circle and/or Colonial Forest Lane (street name), are concerned about excessive speeding on our street. We request that the City of Knoxville conduct a Neighborhood Traffic Safety Study to determine if the speeding is severe enough to justify possible traffic calming measures in our neighborhood.
We understand that:
- “Traffic calming measures” may include physical devices (such as neighborhood traffic circles and speed humps) and/or route modifications (such as partial street closures and making a street one-way).
- The City may install traffic calming if the evidence shows such measures are the only effective means for reducing speeding that endangers public safety.
- The City would not take these steps without public neighborhood meetings and opportunities for citizen input on the traffic calming plan for our neighborhood.
Please provide phone & email so that you can be notified of neighborhood meetings about speeding and traffic calming. City may spot-check to verify signatures.

The momentum is undeniable now. City hall has to take notice of these streets.

As a "cut through" street, the travelling speed on Craig Road has created a hazardous environment for the people who reside there. I nearly had the back of my car demolished the other morning at 5 AM when I was backing out to go to the gym.
I highly support the Craig Road study as well as a study of BUENA Road. Cars speed down BUENA from Westland, especially down the hill by Reichenbach Field. Extremely dangerous! The Forest Brook neighborhood has become a thoroughfare for vehicles traveling to and from Westland/Northshore !
1071 pineola Lane - our house backs up to Craig road and we walk on it often with our baby and dog. Cars drive very fast and there is a sharp turn that blocks drivers and pedestrians views.
I am in full support of this. I have nearly been hit on two separate occasions while walking with my son in the stroller on Craig Road.
I have almost been hit so many times walking my dog and walking across the street to get my mail. People drive extremely fast and are very careless as Craig road is a cut through street. It is for the safety of the residents.
Way overdue
This study is definitely needed. Way too many speeders making it a true safety concern.

I feel it is important to point out the every resident who lives on the east side of Craig must cross the street every day to retrieve mail & paper.
