Agenda Item 
XI. E.  Hammerhill Road Sidewalk Project Survey Results 
 
Overview 
The construction of new sidewalks on Hammerhill Road from Tellico Avenue to Towanda Trail, 
a total of 2,200 linear feet, has been discussed for some time. This topic was discussed recently 
during the July 7, 2025 work session and the July 15, 2025 regular session. During the Jul y 15, 
2025 regular session, City Council approved city staff to conduct a survey of impacted property 
owners along Hammerhill Road to assess their interest in and willingness to donate or sell any 
needed right of way regarding the potential construction of a new sidewalk. 
 
A brief and simple introductory letter  (attached) and a five
-question survey were prepared and 
mailed to all 40 property owners on both sides of Hammerhill Road on July 25, 2025, inviting 
them to respond via an online survey or call in their responses no later than 5:00 p.m. on Monday, 
August 4, 2025.  
 
Of the 40 letters  distributed, the city received 10 responses. The results of the survey are 
attached. Updated from the August 11, 2025 work session.  
 
Following discussion during the August 11, 2025 work session, the consensus was to place this 
item on the August 19, 2025 regular session under New Business for further discussion.
