Repaving Montlake Scheduled
On Tuesday, May 19, construction crews are planning to repave Montlake Drive from Alcoa Highway to Craghead Lane in Knoxville. This will take a couple of hours between 9am and 3pm. This work will be completed under a flagging operation. We are doing this work to repair the asphalt where construction trucks use this stretch as a construction entrance.

Mailbox Bows Available for Dogwood Trail
Hey Neighbors!!
Looking for something to brighten your day? Then go for a neighborhood walk or take a quick ride to the Copeland’s or Thomforde’s house and pick out a big fluffy bow to make you and your mailbox SMILE 😊. Let’s get ready for all those home-bound folks soon to be cruising our Dogwood Trail. We are practicing social distancing, so the bows will be displayed in the driveway or on the front porch. Just pick out your favorite and put a donation to Lakemoor Hills Garden Club in the envelope. Hope you all are staying safe and enjoying family time. 🌸🌷🌻

Neighborhood Cleanup Day – Modified Plans – Sat. March 21
Hello Neighbors
The Dogwood Trails will be opening April 1 so we are going ahead with our Neighborhood Cleanup Day tomorrow, March 21 at 9 AM. I will have supplies (trash bags, gloves, pickers, safety vests) available for your use and will be at Lake Hills Church parking lot at 9 AM Saturday. You can return them when you are finished at Legacy Park & Garden at Circle Lake.
I will also have pink and green bows for sale for your mailbox. $5
We will forego the luncheon afterwards this year to maintain our safe social distancing recommendations.
Pick a street, or portion of a street, and just pick up the trash. Put it in your trashbag and take the full bag back to your house for disposal or you may leave it at the Maloney Rd. Park disposal stations.
If you would like to clean street signs, please email me at [email protected] to coordinate.
Thank you for your efforts to make Lakemoor Hills one of the most lovely neighborhoods in Knox County.

Name Change for Ginn Dr. on the Agenda Again
Knox County has published their agenda for the Nov. 14 Planning Commission Meeting (1:30 PM in the Main Assembly Room in the City County Building). On the agenda again is the name change issue on Ginn Dr.
The current proposal reads as follows:
6. KNOXVILLE-KNOX COUNTY
File No. 9-C-19-SNC
PLANNING
Change Ginn Drive to ‘Ginn Farm Drive’ between Alcoa Highway and the dead-end of Ginn Drive at Maloney Road Park, southwest of Alcoa Highway, Council District 1.
Many of you have expressed your displeasure at the changing of the name of Ginn Dr. to Quiet Side Way since the area near Lakemoor Village was the original Ginn Farm. Is this new proposed change one that our neighborhood should accept?
You can send your letters of support or disagreement to [email protected] or send a letter to:
Knox Planning Commission
400 Main St, Suite 403
Knoxville, TN 37902
Or you can attend the meeting on Nov. 14 and let your views be known.
