Improvements are coming to Hixson Pike, and you can help decide which ones.

Chattanooga Public Works has proposed these three options to improve safety and traffic flow in Riverview Town Center, the stretch between Tremont Street/Dorchester Road and Barton Avenue.

Option A

What it would do:

Reduce Hixson Pike to one lane in each direction
Add parking and wider shoulders to buffer sidewalks for pedestrian safety
Add intersection safety upgrades

How it’s different:

Balances traffic changes in both directions

Option B

What it would do:

Reduce one southbound lane near Dartmouth Street
Add parking and a sidewalk buffer on the west side

How it’s different:

Focuses mainly on slowing and narrowing southbound traffic

Option C

What it would do:

Extend lane reductions farther south to create room for more sidewalks and crossings
Reduce southbound lanes starting near E. Dallas Road, allowing for a sidewalk extension to Englewood Avenue
Add potential new crossings at Englewood and E. Dallas
Include all intersection and safety upgrades from Options A and B, plus a new center turn lane north of Dartmouth

How it’s different:

Most comprehensive (and pedestrian-focused) plan. Think: more sidewalk space, more crossings, and the most changes overall
