To: RealtyLink LLC
Cc: City of Oak Ridge Officials, Local Media, and Concerned Business Owners

We, the undersigned residents, shoppers, and community stakeholders of Oak Ridge, Tennessee, are calling on RealtyLink LLC to take immediate and lasting action to repair the severely deteriorated access roads serving the shopping centers at Main Street, Rutgers Avenue, and Illinois Avenue.

These roads—under your ownership—are in disrepair and have remained dangerously neglected despite repeated public complaints and visible damage year after year.

The result is a serious and growing problem:

Thousands of dollars in annual vehicle damage to Oak Ridge residents.

Unsafe driving conditions and avoidable hazards.

Declining customer satisfaction and reduced business traffic.


Despite serving major national retailers and restaurants—including the full list below—these access roads are only patched reactively, not maintained proactively. This is unacceptable for a property owner profiting from our community's traffic and trust.

Businesses Subject to Boycott Until Repairs Are Completed:

Bank of America (with Drive-thru ATM)

Bealls

Belk

Buff City Soap

Chick-fil-A

Cinemark Tinseltown Oak Ridge

DICK’S Sporting Goods

Electronic Express

Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers

GameStop

Golden Oak Buffet

IHOP

JCPenney

Old Navy

PetSmart

Red Lobster

Ross Dress for Less

T.J. Maxx

Taco Bell

The Spa Lounge Lash & Nail Studio

Walmart Supercenter


We demand the following:

1. Immediate, durable repairs to all damaged access roads under RealtyLink’s ownership in the identified area.


2. A year-round maintenance plan to prevent recurrence of unsafe conditions.


3. Public communication about planned repairs and your commitment to infrastructure safety.



Until these conditions are met, we will continue avoiding the businesses listed above—and will sustain public advocacy through letters to editors, social media campaigns, and direct outreach to business owners and civic leaders.

This is not a one-time complaint. It is a community-wide demand for safety, accountability, and respect.

We urge RealtyLink LLC to act now—before more damage is done to our roads, our vehicles, and our trust.

Sincerely,
Concerned Residents and Shoppers of Oak Ridge
