Downtown mailbag: Sevier facelift finally OK'd and quiet Gay Street block gets major buyerShow Caption Hide Caption See how the Knoxville riverfront is changing near downtown Public and private money is going toward waterfront revitalization on both sides of the Tennessee River near downtown Knoxville. This week, readers asked about a Sevier Avenue facelift, an Urban Wilderness Gateway Park addition, a major North Gay Street purchase, and historical addition to Market Square. Sevier Avenue is set for a facelift that would include new bike lines, improved street lighting, on-street parking, and a roundabout at the intersection of Sevier Avenue, Island Home Avenue, and Foggy Bottom Street. A lot of growth has been happening on Gay Street, which most people think of as the blocks south of the railroad viaducts. North Gay Street is its own chunk of road, although it's nowhere near as exciting.
