Project Selections 
Prioritization 
After the review and validation of the HIN by the Steering Committee, ranking weight was determined for each 
of the following variable to be used for the project prioritization:  
• The number of fatal and serious injury crashes along the segment (35%). 
• The number of pedestrian/bicycle crashes along the segment (25%).
• The segment crash rate expressed in crashes per million vehicle miles traveled per day (25%). 
• Equity consideration, defined as the HIN segment crossing an area of the City with an SVI score of 
medium or high, an Area of Persistent Poverty, or a Historically Disadvantaged Community area
(15%).
Appendix A provides a summary of the HIN prioritization exercise. The results indicate that Decatur Pike 
between the City Limits and Regional Park Drive was the TDOT -owned roadway with the highest score, while 
Dennis Street between West Madison Avenue and Decatur Pike was the highest-scoring local roadway.  
Recommended Projects 
Following the initial assessment, a list of high-scoring city-maintained and State Route roadway segments and 
intersections was reviewed with City staff. Locations with known programmed capital improvements were 
removed from the list and replaced with subsequent high -ranking locations. City staff provided feedback on 
the highest-scoring segments and intersections to identify six (6) road segments that would be candidates for 
engineering improvements. The six (6) recommended locations are shown in Figure 28 and listed below: 
• Decatur Pike from west of Dennis Street to Dupit Street
• Old Riceville Road from West Madison Avenue to Decatur Pike
• Green Street from Decatur Pike to South White Street
• Congress Parkway from Decatur Pike to Railroad Avenue 
• Dennis Street from West Madison Avenue to Decatur Pike
• Congress Parkway from Railroad Avenue to Dollar General Parking Lot
