Consultants brief council on Cherry Lane corridor plan; I-24 interchange options, utilities and annexation highlighted
Summary
Reagan Smith and Kimley-Horn consultants updated the council on the Cherry Lane corridor area plan, emphasizing transportation modeling, a potential I‑24 interchange, utility needs, annexation and coordination with TDOT and utilities.
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Consultants for the Cherry Lane corridor area plan updated the Murfreesboro City Council on transportation modeling, utility infrastructure needs and potential I‑24 interchange options, describing a project that will require close coordination with the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT), utility providers and property owners.
Kevin from Reagan Smith said the project looks at transportation and land-use together, noting Cherry Lane is an important east–west connector where new infrastructure should generate a return on investment. He said the team is pulling current modeling data from the regional council and will coordinate with city departments, the county, Middle Tennessee Electric and TDOT.
“Points a, b, c and d are all very critical interchanges and points of the transportation network that we're going to have to study,” Kevin said while showing options for an I‑24 interchange. He cautioned there were no conclusions yet and said point A on I‑24 is in active discussion with TDOT; the project may require relocation or route adjustments.
Consultants also said many parcels will need annexation and water, sanitary sewer and pump‑station improvements; they announced stakeholder and property‑owner meetings as a next step and said the project was on schedule to meet the projected timeline shown to council.
Councilmembers asked about an interested developer’s application and about liens affecting parcel transfers; consultants said discussions were ongoing and noted a lien connected to a development agreement that would activate on transfer or development. No formal council decisions were requested at the workshop; consultants sought to keep stakeholders informed and to continue the planning process.
