Titsworth Springs Road is approximately 200 feet offset from being directly across from North Rogers Road.
A local developer wants to match the two roads up and place a traffic light at the intersection.
He reason is that a traffic light will make his corner property more valuable.
According to Jonas Smelcer, Sevier County Road Superintendent, the developer is paying for the earth work and the county is paying for the large tile.
“We had an engineer do a study on the creek to make certain that the road doesn’t flood or wash away as it has in the past, that’s why there is that large over-sized tile,” Smelcer told the Seymour Herald.
Smelcer agreed with the developer that moving Titsworth Springs Road over to make it line up with North Rogers Road with a light would benefit the large number of homes that are planned for the Titsworth Springs area.
“We aren’t paying for any of the work, just the tile,” Smelcer emphasized.
The proposed light would actually aid the many parents that use North Rogers Road to transport their children to the Seymour Schools.
Completion date or the installation of the traffic light is still not certain.
