To provide background information on possible projects that may be discussed, I am writing this series on transportation projects underway, planned, anticipated or even rumored! The State and County officials will have the latest available information. Many levels of approvals are involved in each project. A project could have the City, Shelby County, metro planning organization, state and federal government involved in just that one project, so the process is complicated and can take time.
I will also include latest information (to the best of my knowledge) on the status of the project and what agency needs to make a decision before the next step in the project process.
The project involves changing Highway 385 to I-269. I-69 is projected to be by the Mississippi River an I-269 will follow the present and projected Highway 385.
I am not really familiar with this project, so if you have questions, this is a good meeting to ask the top TDOT officials on the status of the project and what is planned.
(The current Lakeland Transportation Plan projects Chambers Chapel to be extended accross the Loosahatchie River to connect with I-269. This project is well in the future.)

Transportation project: Noise barriers on I-40
We get a lot of comments and questions on when there may be noise barriers installed on Interstate 40.
Our best answer on this is it is our understanding when I-40 is widened through Lakeland, noise barriers are installed under certain conditions.
STATUS: No action planned. When I-40 is widened, TDOT will be contacted to consider noise barriers as a part of the project.
The Lakeland Chamber meeting is a good time to ask this question is you are interested in this project. I’m sure anyone who lives close to I-40 is very interested in this project!

The I-40/Canada Road Interchange effort has been underway for some time. Currently the project is in the design stage.
The final plan of the proposed interchange project is still under review although we expect an answer in the very near future. Either a “diamond” interchange (similar to the Appling/I-40 interchange) or a “single point” (similar to the Germantown Road/Walnut Creek interchange except that the light would be on top rather than on the bottom) is planned.
The City is requesting that the State include funds for right-of-way acquisition in the next fiscal year budget with funds for actual construction in the next fiscal year budget. Anticipated completion, at the very earliest, is 2009.
STATUS: Waiting on Tennessee Department of Transportation to make the decision of whether the Interchange is to be a "diamond interchange" or a "single point" interchange.

Fletcher Trace Construction Schedule
Construction on Fletcher Trace is expected to resume shortly after January 3, 2007, depending on the weather. Major work remaining includes “milling” (removal of some of the old asphalt) and new asphalt.
For safety reasons, the work was postponed over the holidays. Asphalt plants shut down over the holidays and we did not want to create any safety hazards. Milling leaves the street rough and weather conditions could have created major safety problems if asphalt could not be laid after the street is milled either due to weather conditions or the asphalt plants being closed.
The Work is expected to take approximately two weeks after it is restarted. Please use extra caution when using Fletcher Trace during this construction.

Karen Jarrett, City Engineer
Karen Jarrett has resigned as City Engineer after she accepted a similar position with another City. We wish Karen well and appreciate her substantial contributions to Lakeland. She will be missed both professionally and personally.
Karen is the first full-time City Engineer for the City of Lakeland. She established procedures and standards for engineering and development that provide a high standard for development in Lakeland, benefiting both current and future residents. I think she found talents in herself she didn’t realized she had as she grew professionally in her position at Lakeland.
Karen is moving to another position, but her time at Lakeland will continue to benefit Lakeland. She will be missed.
The City is currently interviewing applicants for City Engineer and expects to offer the position to an applicant for City Engineer in the near future. Of course, the time will depend on the applicants and whether the applicant accepts the offer. Applications are being accepted until the position is filled.

Thanks to applicants for Lakeland Boards and Commissions!
The Mayor and Commissioners appreciate the strong interest demonstrated by Lakeland residents in applying for positions up for appointment on the Lakeland Boards and Commissions.
Making the appointments was very difficult due to the high quality and the number of applications for the positions up for appointment/reappointment. It was even more difficult because many of the persons currently serving are doing an outstanding job and applied to continue on the Board or Commission they are currently serving on.
The City received over twenty-two applications for the eleven positions that were open for reappointment or appointment.
The Mayor and Commissioners urge all persons not appointed to continue to apply as positions become open. All positions are advertised prior to an appointment to the opening and the Board of Commissioners is pleased at the interest demonstrated by Lakeland residents.
Please do not be discouraged if you were not appointed. The City needs interested and motivated residents to serve on the Boards and Commissions!

ALERT-Curb address painter solicitor
On Tuesday, December 5, we received seveal complaints about an illegal solicition to paint addresses on the curb.
The vendor does not have a license and their notice did not list any address, phone number or any contact point.
We have notified the Shelby County Sheriff Department and encourage citizens not to buy from "door to door" businesses, since this is illegal in Lakeland and purchasing from them only encourages illegal behavior.
The Notice reads as follows. The copy I have was on a red piece of paper:
If you have any information on this, please call City Hall (867-2717) or the Shelby County Sheriff at 379-7625. If you have purchased this service, please advise City Hall of the name and number so we can contact them.

The Notice reads as follows. The copy I have was on a red piece of paper:
**NEIGHBORHOOD ADDRESS PROGRAM**
REFLECTIVE ADDRESS NUMBERS ARE BEING PIANTED ON THE CURB
Your Street will be worked on starting tomorrow. We are trying to install individual house numbers straight down the street, so in case of an emergency, especially at night, your home can be found a lot easier by ambulances, patrol cars, fire departments, cabs, repair and delivery persons. Statistics show that 75% of our homes are inadequately numbered for night use, and that’s hen these numbers really stand out.
We are doing something different. Instead of just painting numbers on the curb, we first put down a Midnight Black background, then apply large 4” white Night Vision numbers on top of he black background. This system is very attractive, extremely durable, and the numbers show up at night like street and interstate signs brilliantly reflective.
The cost of this professionally installed service is only $5.00 cash or check. A courteous representative will collect after the Reflective numbers have been installed. If not at home payment instructions will be left.
Thank you.
To be include…Print your house number on the back of this notice and put it on the inside olf a window so it can be seen from the street. We will not install you address numbers unless this slip is in the window.
