Title
Ordinance closing Sweeney Drive between Stout Drive and Genesis Road
Body
SUMMARY: Buc-ee’s Tennessee LLC has requested the right-of-way of Sweeney Drive, adjacent to their property, be closed and be acquired by them. Staff recommends the closure of the ROW of Sweeney Drive that is between Stout Drive and Genesis Road. This portion of Sweeney Drive could be a potential safety concern during the widening of Interstate Drive, part of the Northwest Connector project, which is slated to begin this year. Some traffic may wish to take this portion of Sweeney to avoid the intersection of Interstate Drive with Genesis Road. This could cause a safety concern with vehicles trying to turn left on Genesis Road. During the widening of Interstate Drive, a signal will be added at the intersection of Interstate Drive and Stout Drive. Planning Commission met 3/18/2021 and voted to recommend closure of the ROW of Sweeney Drive.
Crossville Ceramics has declined the ROW adjacent to its property, therefore; the entire ROW will be granted to Buc-ee’s Tennessee, LLC.
