Agenda Item 
IV. L.  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 only five responses. The results of the survey are 
attached. 
 
Action to Consider 
Consensus is needed to move this item to the August 19, 2025 regular session for consideration. 
This project was not budgeted.
