UTK chose the City of Cleveland as its first partner in the

students will work with city staff on identified projects during the  
Fall semester.

Planning Director Greg Thomas submitted a list of 19 projects for  
consideration aimed at increasing the level of economic viability,  
environmental sustainability and social integrity of the city.

Four senior civil engineering students surveyed Inman Street West

Keith Street is a densely developed, mid-1900s, four-lane commercial  
corridor mostly without sidewalks and without bus shelters. The  
Greenway is to be extended south to Inman Street and perhaps eastward
