Council Work Session topics include Downtown Parking Improvements, Martin Elementary Crosswalk and City Judge Appointment

 Crossville City Council will discuss proposals on their Tuesday December 1, 2020 work session agenda for increasing parking in the downtown area after receiving a report from the city's engineering department.  

The Council's work session is set for Tuesday December 1 at 5 PM in the 4th floor conference room 424.  New members of the council elected last month will be sworn in at noon on Monday December 7, 2020 at City Hall.

The parking report looked at a number of possible locations with short walking distance to popular downtown destinations and how much it might cost to improve the areas for public parking.  The cost estimates did not include the cost of property purchase or leases.  The matter was disucssed at last months city council retreat. 

Council will discuss the matter after having time to review the report and could take action at the December council meeting or put any decisions off until next year. 

Council will also take up a possible crosswalk from Martin Elementary School across the Miller Avenue Bypass to the baseball field there.  The crosswalk would include flashing stoplights when a person wants to cross. 

As a new council will be sworn in and seated for the December Council meeting, the election of City Judge and Mayor Pro-Tem will also be discussed at the work session.

  1. Maybe the council would consider this; A new overhead crosswalk as in other cities to minimize having slow downs or stopping traffic. This could be a win win solution.
