Oak Ridge applies for $100,000 TPO grant to study Central and Tennessee Avenue corridors

Oak Ridge City Council · August 10, 2026

Summary

Council authorized a grant application to the Knoxville Area TPO for a multimodal corridor study of Central Avenue and Tennessee Avenue with an estimated $100,000 project cost and up to 15% local match.

Oak Ridge authorized the city manager to apply for and accept, if awarded, a Knoxville Area Transportation Planning Organization planning grant for a corridor study of Tennessee Avenue and Central Avenue.

Miss Williams described the intended multimodal study—covering vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians—and said it is timely given potential property transfers and pending development in the Jackson Square area. She told council the project would cost about $100,000 and that the city would provide a local match up to 15 percent.

Council voted to approve the grant application. The study is intended to inform multimodal corridor design in an area where planned redevelopment and possible changes to a federal building site could alter parking and circulation needs.
