Citizens Task Force

TDOT has selected a 13-member Citizens Task Force (CTF) to represent the community as the Planning & Design work is performed. The CTF will work with the project team to evaluate the roadway alignment and cross section widths and provide input, review and approval of land use and urban design concepts. The CTF will meet as often as monthly as the need for input dictates and actively participate in three or four community open houses or workshops.  Additionally, CTF members will share project information with, and gather input from, local property owners, businesses, and neighborhood associations.
