Streets
The Street Division
of the Public Works Department is responsible for maintaining City streets,
bridges and Right of Ways. By
doing this we patch potholes, make full-depth asphalt repairs, pick up
litter, mow and weed eat Right of ways, install and improved drainage
systems, sweep all streets (both local and TDOT ROW) and a variety of other
tasks. We also take care of snow and
ice removal and clean up other debris after storms.
We administer the five-year paving and sidewalk plans.
We also assist other City
Departments with specialized equipment (Backhoes, dump trucks or paving,
etc.). In addition to the
traditional aspects of a street department, we have also been given the
responsibility of mowing and weed-eating selected portions of the West Prong
of the Little Pigeon River and Middle Creek riverbanks as a part of the TVA
river rechannelization project of the 1960s.
This mowing generally takes place in the fall as the vegetation goes
dormant.

coordinate and inspect the road striping contract and have a plan to
re-stripe most streets every other year.
We assist with road/lane closures and traffic control for most
special events and road construction detours.

disposing of commercial and residential garbage.
We offer twice a month collection of bulk/junk items; removal of yard

We provide crews in coordination with Sevier County’s Intensive
Public Service Program for litter pickup along city streets and state
highways within the city. We
keep our streets clean by disposing of dead animals.
The Solid Waste Department also

events. The Solid Waste Division plays a vital role in the Household
Hazardous Waste Day sponsored by the State of Tennessee each year.
