Dear
 Hammerhill Road Property Owner: 
 
The City of Athens is considering constructing a new sidewalk on Hammerhill Road between Tellico 
Avenue and Towanda Trail to improve pedestrian safety and neighborhood walkability.  
More specifically, the new sidewalk would be five feet wide and located adjacent to the existing curb 
and gutter. The city may have to acquire a small amount of property from some of the impacted 
property owners to install the new sidewalk.  
To properly plan this project, the city is seeking input from Hammerhill Road property owners to 
determine their interest in this project and if they are willing to donate or sell a small amount of their 
property to the city, if needed for this project. The new sidewalk will be funded through the city’s 
Capital Improvement Fund. 
The city values your voice and concerns regarding this potential public improvement and invites you, 
as a property owner, to complete a short survey to assist us in determining interest and feasibility.  
Please visit https://forms.office.com/r/3L0wEFEhYd  or use the QR code below to complete a short 
one-minute survey. The survey will be opened until 5:00 p.m. Monday, August 4, 2025. 
If you do not have access to a computer and want to participate in this survey or want to have someone 
contact you about this project, please call Bridget Roberts, Executive Assistant, at 423-744-2702, 
Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. to register your responses. 
Thank you for your time and being a part of making Athens a safer and more walkable community.
