The Cumberland Avenue Project division guides the City in the creation of a more inviting, vibrant and safe Cumberland Avenue that enhances the connections to the University of Tennessee and area employers and improves the residential and retail character of the district while providing for all modes of transportation.

The Cumberland Avenue Corridor Plan, adopted by MPC on April 12, 2007 and by City Council on May 8, 2007, provides groundwork for the project.

There are two components to the Project as outlined in the Corridor Study, 1) a Streetscape Plan, and 2) an Urban Design Plan.

STREETSCAPE PLAN - RIGHT OF WAY PUBLIC MEETING

The Streetscape Plan proposes a “road diet” for Cumberland reducing the street from four lanes to three lanes. The City is currently in the ROW phase for this local government guidelines project, which has received TDOT approval for environmental and preliminary engineering. Over the course of the next several months the city and its contractors will be contacting property owners about Temporary Construction Easements and in some cases Utility Easements.

    URBAN DESIGN PLAN - FORM BASED CODE

    The Cumberland Avenue Corridor Plan, adopted in 2007, calls for a Form Based Code (FBC) to implement the recommendations of the Urban Design Plan. The document is currently being reviewed by an independent consultant, Code Studio, out of Texas. A public meeting will be announced in the future regarding Code Studio's recommendations.
