SUMMARY: The Director of Engineering has reviewed the qualifications of Mattern & Craig to develop the TDOT required study and create the plans for the truck restriction on Main Street (in the downtown area) and the “Truck Route” designation of Miller Avenue SR392 (from North Main to South Main). Mattern & Craig have discussed the study with TDOT and FHWA in order to determine the requirements of the study and have now presented the attached contract.
