UNICOI â The town of Unicoiâs Board of Mayor and Aldermen voted to table a reconsideration of an engineering study of Paddle Creek Road on Monday.
The study, which was approved unanimously by the board during its Feb. 18 meeting, was set to be conducted by Tysinger, Hampton and Partners Inc. at a cost of $25,500.
âPaddle Creek has been studied by the state,â Alderman Wanda Ratliff said. âItâs been studied by our county road superintendent and thereâs no simple solution. It has a lot of complications.â
Ratliff said the cost of the repairs to the road would be too high for the town to afford, and widening the road to where it meets Carter County could potentially be dangerous.
