Dear Editor,
I have really enjoyed reading and following Carlos and Nancy Reveiz's 584-mile Camino trek through Spain. What a challenge, and what lifetime memories they have created. And to top it off by a chance meeting with someone from Village Green at the end. Incredible! Good job.

Dear Editor,
Farragut should immediately halt the rushed redo of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP). Former Farragut Mayor Ron Williams pushed this overhaul through at the end of his term, even though the CLUP was updated just two years ago and has been revised repeatedly since 2012. There is no justification for spending taxpayer money on a redo right now.
Traffic in Farragut is already far beyond what most residents realize, as shown in the state’s own traffic counts. Traffic at Kingston Pike and Campbell Station Road has 12,680 vehicles more a day than traffic at Kingston Pike and Cedar Bluff Road.
The new elementary school on Boring Road has not even opened yet — its traffic impact will be enormous. That traffic impact will be lost if the CLUP is redone now. Any responsible CLUP redo must include those numbers. It cannot be done honestly on the current timeline.
