A popular walkway located just across the Tennessee River from downtown Knoxville has been barricaded from public use as the private owner attempts to transfer the waterfront property to the city as planned.
Metal fencing has been installed like bookends along the path that runs from east to west from Gay Street underneath Henley Street to 303 Flats apartments on Blount Avenue, closing off the main portion of the walkway alongside One Riverwalk Apartments to pedestrians.
Eric Vreeland, a city spokesperson, told Knox News in an email Tuesday the city is waiting for the owner, identified through property records as Riverwalk Investors, to complete improvements before it will accept a property transfer.
