LHHA Needs Graphic Design Assistance
As most of you know, LHHA has been working towards implementing an impressive landscape plan for the areas along Alcoa Hwy that were disturbed during the construction. We have a team in place – the Alcoa Hwy Beautification Council – that is developing some information to help promote sponsorships of the project. We have developed an 8 1/2 x 11 draft of a trip-fold promotional piece that we want to use, but we need someone with some graphic design expertise that can help us make it look professional and develop a file that we can take to the printer.
If you can spare a few hours to make our draft something to be proud of, please contact me. I will have the draft on Tuesday night at the LHHA meeting if you would like to see it or I can email to you before that. Kathy Proctor, ksp53@me.com or 599-7783
Seeking some local talent – YOU!
Hello neighbors,
The board met on Tuesday night and we have a number of needs and I am sure that we have talented residents that may fit our needs.
- Has anyone ever built a Wikipedia page? We would like to create one about our neighborhood.
- Looking for someone that is familiar with Quicken that would like to take on some financial management for the LHHA.
- Looking for a few folk that love working off ladders to help put lights on the neighborhood Christmas tree on Dec. 1.
Also – I did have a response to our inquiry for a notary in the neighborhood. Susannah Perry on Manor Dr. is happy to assist anyone with this need.
If you are interested in helping resolve any of these three needs, please email me at ksp53@me.com or call 599-7783.
thank you,
Kathy Proctor
Notary in Lakemoor Hills?
From time to time some of our residents are in need of a notary. Some of our residents have difficulty in leaving the neighborhood to seek this service. Are there any notaries in the neighborhood that would like the LHHA to share their contact info? Just email Kathy Proctor at ksp53@me.com.
ALCOA HIGHWAY UPDATES
Below are your questions and the answers from the engineer on the project. If you have any further questions or concerns please feel free to contact me. Keisha Gregory, TDOT, keisha.gregory@tn.gov
- When are the bridges and access roads are projected to be completed?
- The 3 bridges are all on different time frames and it is unclear on the exact dates they will be completed/open to traffic. I can tell you that the bridge at Maloney road will be the first one completed, and is projected to be open to the public sometime around early spring at the latest, weather permitting. The bridge at Montlake will be the next one completed, followed by the bridge at Mount Vernon.
- Will development will be encouraged on the larger parcels of land around the intersections?
- Anything within state right of way will not have any type of development going on. There is a large portion of land acquired by the contractor on Montlake that is near the roundabout intersection, but the state does not know the intentions of the contractor for this parcel after construction is completed.
- What progress is being made on the greenways?
- The greenway will be one of the last things completed/open on the project. The grade work for the greenway has been completed in some sections along its route, but a majority of the alignment for the greenway depends on other activities to be completed before it can be installed. To explain the greenway at retaining wall at Woodson. The greenway will not be hanging off of the wall, but will rather be on the roadway side of the wall. There will be a concrete barrier wall constructed between the greenway and Alcoa highway for safety of those using the greenway in this area. For now, the greenway will end just passed Woodson until the next project begins which will pick it back up and carry it to the current greenway that runs along Fort Loudon.
- Some explanation for the work at Ginn:
- Both Ginn road West and East required grade work for their new alignments, which is now completed at this time. As of right now, East Ginn road is projected to be completed first and open to traffic within the next few months. West Ginn road will then be completed once the East side is done.
Please note, that a vast majority of the work left to be completed on the North end of the project for the bridges, access roads, greenways, etc… depend on the large retaining wall being constructed across from Mount Vernon. Once you see this nearing completion, then you’ll see a lot of these things really coming together.

“Name That Road” Winners
At the last LHHA meeting we posted all the suggestions that were received for names for the new service road(s) at Alcoa Hwy. Attendees at the meeting voted on the suggestions and these were the top three winners –
- Lakemoor View
- Quiet Side Dr. or Ln.
- Lakeside Way
I have submitted these 3 names to the city for review. I think business owners along the roads will have their input and then it will be submitted to MPC for review and comment. I will inform you of any feedback that I receive.
Thanks for being part of the process!

Naming of New Roads at Aloca Hwy
I have previously mentioned to many of you that we have an opportunity to be involved in the naming of the new southbound exit road/ access road that is currently under construction to the west of Alcoa Hwy. There is also a road to the east of Alcoa. There are a few parameters [ we cannot use a name that is used elsewhere in Knox County & the name must meet MPC guidelines]. I had submitted to them Lake Hills Blvd. but that name is in use elsewhere. I have received a few recommendations, but I would like to hear from as many of you as possible. Here are a few to get your brains thinking creatively. Please email me or post some ideas here or on our facebook page. If they allow us enough time to discuss, this will be a topic at our next LHHA meeting in Sept. If we have to respond earlier, I’ll let you know.
thanks, Kathy Proctor

Asphalt Paving Questions
I was contacted by a neighbor today with concerns about two asphalt paving companies that they saw were doing business in our neighborhood. These two companies are reputed to have bad track records. We have a listing of recommended contractors and subcontractors that neighbors have positive experiences with, but I do not think any asphalt paving companies are on that list yet. If you have had a positive experience please share their name and contact information on the LHHA Andy’s list. If you are doing or contemplating a paving project at your home and want to know the questionable company names, please contact me. If you do not know how to post to Andy’s list, just send the information to Kathy Proctor and we will get it added to the list for you. Thank you for looking out for your neighbors!
