Neighborhood Cleanup Day – Modified Plans – Sat. March 21

by

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

by

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.

Emergency Text Alert Program Available for the Neighborhood

by

After the shooting incident in the neighborhood a few months back, it became obvious that we needed a quick method for disseminating information during emergencies to a large group in the neighborhood.   One of our neighbors volunteered to put together a alert system that works similar to Amber Alerts.  Anyone in the neighborhood can subscribe to the alert system by sending the word “details” from their cell phone to 55678.

The system will be used ONLY for emergencies such as verifiable threats that impact our neighborhood.  This could be criminal, weather, long term power outages or other incidents that impact our residents.

The LHHA board encourages all of you to participate in this free opportunity.  You will NOT be enrolled in the program unless you follow the instructions below:

Remember – SEND the word DETAILS to 55678 on your cellphone.

 

Closing of Montlake Entry at Alcoa – Oct. 23

by

Many of you have seen the digital display along Alcoa Hwy that announces that the exit from Alcoa Hwy to Montlake will close on October 23.   The Blalock project manager explained today that Montlake will remain closed until the completion of this phase of the Alcoa Hwy expansion.

This means that all residents of Lakemoor Hills will only be able to exit Alcoa Hwy heading south at Ginn Rd. and Maloney Rd.  You will  be able to enter Alcoa Hwy heading south at these two roads also.

But if you wish to head north to UT Hospital or downtown, your only choice will be to enter Alcoa Hwy by crossing the Maloney Rd. bridge over Alcoa and use the exit from the round a bout to access the northern lane.

If Montlake has been your entry and exit of choice, you may need to plan to add a few extra minutes to reroute to Maloney for the next 6 or 7 months.
