Mobility Plan 2050 near final; ArcGIS experience and public comment portal available for review
Summary
Stantec and TPO staff demonstrated an ArcGIS Experience viewer and public comment tool for the Mobility Plan 2050 draft; staff said FHWA review and public comment will run through March and adoption is targeted for late April 2025.
Stantec and Knoxville Area TPO staff told the technical committee on March 11 they are at the final steps of the Mobility Plan 2050 update and demonstrated an ArcGIS Experience viewer that displays horizon‑year projects, performance measures and priority‑population data.
Project outreach to date includes nearly 800 online survey participants, more than 500 interactive map points, multiple focus groups and two rounds of community events. The draft project list carried forward more than a dozen projects from the previous MTP, removed or completed about 40, and added roughly 50 new projects. Staff said the funded project list includes 45 projects totaling a little over $500 million across horizon years.
Stantec demonstrated features that let users filter projects by horizon year, category and jurisdiction and submit project‑level public comments via a linked comment portal. Staff said the draft MTP is ready for public review and air‑quality conformity checks; FHWA review will run concurrently with the public comment period in March into early April. Adoption is tentatively scheduled for Wednesday, April 23, 2025, though staff said that date may be shifted by up to one week depending on FHWA comments.
Staff will post the draft MTP and the ArcGIS experience to the TPO website and circulate links to committee members; comments submitted through the portal will be stored in a database and used to prepare the final document for Executive Board consideration.
