Hwy 96 expansion begins in winter of 2020. The first of 3 phases of TDOTS SR96 expansion of the GEORGE JONES MEMORIAL HIGHWAY going from 2 lane to 5 lane from Arno Rd to the Rutherford county line intersecting unincorporated Arrington/ Triune
Going from a 2 lane to 5 lane creates an environmental shift for unincorporated communities and residents choosing to live in “rural areas” outside of larger municipalities. STATE roads intersect with COUNTY roads in rural areas, creating a complicated challenge for residents when they wake up to sounds of big machinery & chainsaws in their front yards chopping down their beloved 100 year old oak, maple or evergreen trees that stood for generations as part of the BRAND that defined the rural American landscape.
States hold public planning meetings with updates years in advance on big projects, however most of the time the public hearings go unnoticed and are poorly attended by residents creating a “I never knew about that” echo that creates confusion and mistrust of community and government leaders that represent their districts.
Failures in clear communication or cooperation between STATE government timelines for infrastructure projects and the COUNTY governments for which state roads intersect, creates problems for local planners to fulfill the goals laid out in a communities Comprehensive Plan-the living will so to speak -that includes the community and the details the vision and the road map for building and developing and managing growth 20 years into the future.
Unincorporated communities should be involved in the planning for State Projects that change a communities way of life. Contracts for excavating and clearcutting timber along rural roadways should be scrutinized, a financial cut from the exports of timber and lost resources should come back into the community to help pay for local infrastructure and maintenance projects that follow.
