An Oak Ridge Municipal Planning Commission Project
The Oak Ridge Planning Commission launched a new planning effort in January, 2017. It has been focused on small sub-areas of the city, thirteen residential and twelve non-residential. It has involved preparation of a status report for each sub-area and feedback from the residents of the areas. About half the sub-areas have been done. A midpoint report has been done which you can review here. That report includes a revised schedule for completion of the sub-area studies in mid-2018. Based on the feedback from work completed to date it is the view of the planning commission that: • There is a high level of interest in pedestrian mobility, • There is considerable support for code enforcement, especially related to maintenance of older structures, • There is much to like about Oak Ridge, • Traffic moves efficiently in general but there are traffic related safety concerns, and • Residents of Oak Ridge would like their city to become more interesting, more entertaining, and more urbane.
