New Roads = New Names

There is a possibility that there will be an opportunity to name the new roads that will be built as part of the Alcoa Hwy expansion.  There will be a small new “feeder road” on the east of the highway and a much more extensive one on the west side of the highway.  Do we as a neighborhood want to be involved in selecting a name for this/ these roads?  I’d love to hear some comments here and I’ll bring up this issue at the next meeting of the LHHA on March 20 at 7 PM at Lake Hills Church.  If we think it is a good idea, we can form a small group and come up with some great ideas.  Or we can let TDOT name the roads…..and we know how creative they are.

See you March 20 at Lake Hills Church – 7 PM

LAWN DEBRIS PICKUP  Neighbors, Spring is just around the corner (actually it is already here in some of your yards!).  Each year the City of Knoxville in order to support the Dogwood Arts Festival will pick up limbs and yard debris from the homes that border a Dogwood Trail.  Many of the streets in our neighborhood are on the Lakemoor Hills Trail.  You know this because there is a fading pink dashed line painted on the street.  So if your house is located on the Dogwood Trail you can take advantage of this once a year pickup.

Please drag your limbs and yard debris adjacent to the asphalt on your property.  They do not pick up debris from empty lots.  We have not received a schedule yet for the pickup, but you should begin moving those limbs now.  We expect that they will pick up sometime during the week of March 25 as the trails open Easter weekend.

BOWS The lovely pink and green mailbox  bows will be available later this month at the Lakemoor Hills Garden Club meeting (March 15) LHHA homeowners meeting (March 20), and  at the Neighborhood Cleanup Day (March 24).  The bows will be $5.  All proceeds will go towards enhancing the public areas in our neighborhood.  You can decorate your mailbox whether you are on the Dogwood Trail or not, as we have many visitors to our lovely neighborhood during the month that the trails are open.

Thank you for helping make our neighborhood a place of beauty!

See you there!

good morning…this morning Laura Hutson who lives across from the church saw a free floating yellow kayak out on the river.   She feels by now it might be by Maxie’s.   She didn’t have a boat to retrieve it but wants the owner to know so you can get it .

To all of you who responded to my request for a caregiver for my friend’s mother, I thank you! She has successfully arranged a caregiver from your recommendations. This is a wonderfully caring neighborhood and I am so happy to be a part of it. Thanks to all of you!!

My friend needs someone to sit with her mother for 3 weeks (5-6 days each week) while my friend works. It could possibly be a little longer. If you know someone who might be interested, please email me at [email protected] or call/text me at 865-405-3810. I can then give you all the details and answer any questions you might have.

Thank you!

Sevier Heights Baptist Church (North Campus)

2939 Alcoa Highway

S.R. 115 (US 129) (Alcoa Hwy) From Woodson Drive to Cherokee Trail Interchange 

It was a large turn out Tuesday night to hear presentations from TWRA and Knox County Animal Control.  In fact both presenters told me they were amazed at our turn out and participation.

These were important subjects as we live with both wild and domestic animals in our neighborhood.  We learned interesting info about the wild animals that roam our properties and how to coexist with them.  We also learned about care for our pets, AC Ordinances and respect for our neighbors regarding our pets.

We will follow up with details on specific items in future post.  In the meantime the following is contact info and a link to the Knox County Sheriff’s Animal Control ordinances.  If you have issues please don’t hesitate to contact them.
