STAFF MEMO
SUBJECT: Futrall Drive Railroad Crossing -Alternatives to Closure of Garrett Dr.
Crossing
The proposed agreement with the Arkansas and Missouri Railroad for a new railroad crossing at
Futrall Drive includes a stipulation that the crossing at Garrett Drive, just north of Ridout
Lumber, be closed to vehicular traffic.
Ridout Lumber and other businesses impacted by the closing have expressed concern about
the loss of this crossing. Alternatives to simply closing this location have been researched, as
follows:
Installing safety improvements (lights and gates) at this crossing. Installation costs
would be expected to be in the range of $500,000 to $600,000. Ongoing maintenance
and insurance costs would be expected as well.
2. Construction of a connector street along the railroad, to connect the Township St.
crossing and the Poplar Street Crossing. This cost is estimated to be $650,000 but
would have less operating cost than option 1.
3. Closure of the Frisco Avenue crossing in lieu of the Garrett Drive crossing. This closure
would provide a safety benefit for the Razorback Greenway by also eliminating the trail
crossing. Bicycle and pedestrian crossings 650 feet to the north and 1350 to the south
are available, but the loss of the vehicular connection would likely result in more traffic
on Wilson Avenue and Maple Street as traffic enters and exits the University of Arkansas
campus.
In addition, the low water crossing of Scull Creek floods frequently; during flooding
events the properties south of the creek and east of the railroad would not be accessible.
A Frisco Avenue connection to Maple Street is feasible and would mitigate this issue.
Costs for closure at this location would be minimal, unless improvements to the low
water crossing or the connection of Frisco to Maple Street were made. These costs
were not estimated, but could be provided if the Committee wishes to further consider
this option.
Mailing Address:
113 W. Mountain Street www.fayetteville-ar.gov
Fayetteville, AR 72701
These options have been shared with the Arkansas and Missouri Railroad and with Ridout
lumber; feedback received, if any, will be shared with the Committee.

2.0 Summary of Findings
The results of the two study intersections based on HCM methodology and SimTraffic methodology are
summarized in Tables 1 to 4. The complete results are provided in Appendix A - Operational Analysis
Results.
For design year 2020, the results show LOS D or better for all movements with the exception of the
eastbound left -turn movement at School Avenue which shows LOS E and LOS F in the PM peak hour

according to the HCM methodology and SimTraffic methodology, respectively. It should be noted that low
volumes are projected for the eastbound left -turn movement at School Avenue.
The SimTraffic results show extensive queueing at the eastbound and southbound approaches at the Martin
Luther King, Jr. Boulevard intersection in the PM peak hour. The queuing along the southbound through
lane, approximately 300 feet (95th percentile), extends past W 5th Street.

For design year 2040, the results show failing LOS E/F for the majority of movements at Martin Luther King,
Jr. Boulevard during both peak hours. At the South Avenue intersection, all movements are LOS B or better
in the AM peak hour. In the PM peak hour, the eastbound movements are LOS F according to the HCM
methodology, and the eastbound and northbound left -turn movements are LOS F according to the
Sim Traffic methodology.
The SimTraffic simulation show queueing to worsen by 2040 at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard
intersection for both peak hours. The queuing along the southbound right -turn lane extend to the School
Avenue intersection and the southbound through lane extend past School Avenue in the PM peak hour. At
the School Avenue intersection, the simulation shows merging issues for vehicles from School Avenue

1.0 Introduction
Archibald Yell Boulevard Improvements
Traffic Study
At the request of the City of Fayetteville, Garver performed a traffic study to evaluate the improvements
along Archibald Yell Boulevard from Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard to Mountain Street. Two study
intersections were analyzed as part of this study: Archibald Yell Boulevard/South Street and Archibald Yell
Boulevard/College Avenue/Rock Street. Garver assessed the corridor with future volumes under existing
four -lane typical and the proposed three -lane typical.
This document presents recommendations that were identified based on the following:
• Existing Conditions — Garver evaluated the existing conditions and reviewed peak hour turning
movement counts at key intersections, which were collected on March 2017.
• Traffic Forecast — Garver determined an annual growth rate for the area using data from multiple
resources including historic average daily traffic (ADT) data from ARDOT website and information
from the Northwest Arkansas Regional Planning Commission's (NWARPC) travel demand models.
• Volume Development — Garver adjusted raw volumes to develop 2020 Existing volumes. The
annual growth rate was applied to 2020 Existing volumes to develop 2040 Design Year traffic
volumes.
• Operational Analysis — Synchro 10 and SimTraffic software were used to analyze the level of
service (LOS) and queue lengths for 2020 Existing conditions, 2040 No Build conditions, and 2040
Build conditions.
• Conclusions and Recommendation — After performing the traffic analysis, conclusions and
recommendations were formed and provided in the study.
2.0 Existing Conditions
The study segment of Archibald Yell Boulevard spans from Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard to Mountain
Street. The existing corridor is four -lane undivided with a posted speed limit of 35 miles per hour (mph) and
carries approximately 17,000 vehicles per day (vpd). There are two signalized intersections along the study
corridor located at Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard and at Mountain Street. Figure 1 exhibits the study
area.
The study intersections at South Street and at College Avenue/Rock Street are currently stop -controlled on
the minor approaches as shown in Figure 2. The intersection of Archibald Yell Boulevard at South Street

3.0 Volume Development
Archibald Yell Boulevard Improvements
Traffic Study
The most recent peak hour turning movement counts for the study intersections along Archibald Yell
Boulevard were conducted in March 2017. The traffic counts were processed to determine 2017 AM and
PM peak hour turning movement volumes, peak hour factors, and percentages of heavy vehicles for the
study intersections. A seasonal adjustment factor was applied to the peak hour turning movement base
counts to determine adjusted peak hour volumes. Refer to Appendix A — Traffic Data for traffic count data.
3.1 Development of 2020 Existing Volumes
To develop 2020 Existing volumes, a traffic growth rate for Archibald Yell Boulevard was applied to the
adjusted 2017 peak hour turning movement volumes. Review of the 2017 ADT and 2019 ADT for Archibald
Yell Boulevard, obtained from ARDOT website, depict a 5% decrease in traffic growth between those years.
Therefore, no growth was assumed for Archibald Yell Boulevard between 2017 and 2020. The 2017
volumes were used as 2020 Existing volumes which are shown in Figure 3.
3.2 Traffic Forecast
A traffic forecast was conducted along Archibald Yell Boulevard to develop future volumes for the study
intersections. From the ARDOT website, two permanent count stations were identified within the study
corridor. Table 1 shows the historic ADT data for each of these count stations. Station 720293 has two
missing years of data.
Several methods were investigated to project future volumes. First, the trend function was used in Excel to
project 2020 and 2040 traffic volumes based on the historic volumes along with the 2019 ADT. This function
is based on the equation y=mx+b, where y represents the traffic volume and x represents the year. For
these calculations, the true "b" value was selected.
A second source utilized for traffic projections was information from NWARPC travel demand model for
design years 2010 and 2040, and a third source used was the growth rate information for Archibald Yell
Boulevard from the Fayetteville Mobility Plan.
A summary of the projected ADT and growth rates yielded from the various methods for each count station
is shown in Table 2. As shown, the recommended annual growth rate for the study area was determined
to be 1.60% based on the average of the growth rates (weighted by volume).

3.3 Development of 2040 No Build Volumes
In order to develop future traffic volumes, the annual growth rates previously estimated were utilized. Using
the regression formula, the growth rates were applied to the 2020 Existing volumes to develop 2040 No
Build volumes. Figure 4 exhibit the 2040 No Build Volumes.

4.0 Operational Analysis
The study area was evaluated under 2020 Existing and
2040 No Build to establish a baseline for comparison for
the build alternatives. Level of Service (LOS) was the
key performance measure used for the analysis and
was determined along the Archibald Yell Boulevard
corridor as well as at key intersections within the study
area.
LOS is a qualitative measure used to depict operational
conditions within a traffic stream or at an intersection.
LOS is typically designated into six categories. These
range from LOS A indicating free -flow, low density, or
nearly negligible delay conditions to LOS F where
demand exceeds capacity and large queues are
experienced. A graphical representation of LOS is
presented in Figure 5. For this study, LOS D is the
threshold for acceptable level of service for any
movement at a major intersection.
Operational analyses were conducted using Synchro 10
and SimTraffic software according to the Highway
Capacity Manual 6th Edition (HCM) methodology and
SimTraffic methodology.
The results from the operational analyses of 2020
Existing conditions and 2040 future No Build conditions
for the study corridor are discussed in the following
subsections.

4.1.1 Roadway Segment Analysis
The study segment of Archibald Yell Boulevard is a four -lane undivided roadway with curb and gutter and
sidewalks along the west side. The corridor contains two signalized intersections, multiple unsignalized
intersections, and many driveways to businesses. Existing conditions were analyzed using 2020 Existing
volumes. The signalized intersections at Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard and at Mountain Street were
modeled with current signal timings provided by the City of Fayetteville.
Under Existing conditions, the segments along Archibald Yell Boulevard were analyzed as urban street
segments. For segment analysis, the HCM methodology uses travel speed for through vehicles and
volume -to -capacity (v/c) ratio as the basis for determining LOS. The results of this analysis are shown in

Table 3. The complete results are provided in Appendix B — Operational Analysis Results. According to
the results of this analysis, the study segment showed LOS C or better for both peak periods in 2020
Existing conditions.
Table 3: Roadway Segment Analysis — 2020 Existing Conditions
4.1.2 Intersection Analysis
For intersections, the HCM methodology uses control delay, measured in average seconds of delay per
vehicle, as the basis for determining LOS. Control delay at an intersection is the average stopped time per
vehicle traveling through the intersection plus the movements at slower speeds due to the vehicles moving
up in the queue or slowing upstream of the approach. Table 4 provides the LOS delay thresholds as stated
in HCM 6th Edition, pages 19-16 and 20-6.

Synchro 10 software along with its companion Sim Traffic software were used to determine the expected
delays and LOS at each intersection within the study area based on HCM methodology and SimTraffic
microsimulation methodology. The HCM methodology evaluates each intersection independently while
Sim Traffic microsimulation allows the user to analyze intersection operations both individually and in
Garver Project No. 20T21030

CITY OF
FAYETTEVILL
ARKANSAS
Archibald Yell Boulevard Improvements
Traffic Study
context of the entire study network. Additionally, microsimulation gives the user a powerful visualization tool
to trace any sources of vehicle delay and queuing as well as the opportunity to perform multiple simulation
runs with varying traffic loading within the peak hour to account for the expected variability within a system.
This variation also accounts for the various types of drivers (aggressiveness, gap acceptance tolerance)
and vehicles (performance on grades, general acceleration/ deceleration). Finally, microsimulation provides
the best means to demonstrate the impacts of queues on nearby intersections.
The results of the two study intersections based on HCM methodology and SimTraffic methodology are
summarized in Tables 5 and 6. The complete results are provided in Appendix B - Operational Analysis
Results.
The HCM methodology showed no results for the intersection at College Avenue/Rock Street, since it does
not support intersections with more than four approaches. The intersection at South Street showed LOS C
or better for all approaches according to the HCM methodology for both peak hours.

4.1.3 Queue Lengths
Archibald Yell Boulevard Improvements
Traffic Study
Queue lengths were reviewed and compared to the available storage lengths in order to identify areas
where improvements may be needed. The 95th percentile queue lengths obtained from the Synchro models
according to HCM methodology are shown in Table 7. The queue lengths shown in the table are expressed
in terms of feet by assuming an average vehicle length of 25 feet since the HCM methodology yields queues
in terms of vehicles. Table 8 shows the 95th percentile queue lengths in feet based on the SimTraffic
methodology.
There are no dedicated left -turn or right -turn lanes provided at the study intersections in the Existing
conditions. The results of both methodologies did not show any significant queueing at the intersection at
South Street. For the intersection at College Avenue/Rock Street, the SimTraffic results showed some
queueing on the northbound approach on College Avenue and extensive queueing on the westbound
approach on Rock Street in the AM peak hour.

For the 2040 No Build conditions, peak hour factors and peak periods were assumed to remain unchanged
from the 2020 Existing conditions. The signal timings at existing signalized intersections were optimized.
The 2040 No Build traffic volumes were used, and the analyses were performed using the same
methodology and assumptions as were used for the 2020 Existing conditions. The results are described in
the following subsections.

4.2.1 Roadway Segment Analysis
Archibald Yell Boulevard Improvements
Traffic Study
As with 2020 Existing conditions, the Archibald Yell Boulevard was analyzed as urban street segments
according to the HCM methodology. The results are summarized in Table 9. The complete results are
provided in Appendix B - Operational Analysis Results.
According to the results of this analysis, the corridor experienced good level of service in the northbound
direction for both peak periods. In the southbound direction, the corridor performed adequately in the AM
peak hour, but showed poor LOS E in the PM peak hour. This is likely due to the failing performance of the
southbound approach at the Archibald Yell Boulevard/Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard intersection in the
year 2040 as exhibited in Table 10. The SimTraffic simulation show extensive southbound queueing at the
Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard intersection.
Table 9: Roadway Segment Analysis — 2040 No Build Conditions
4.2.2 Intersection Analysis
The results from the 2040 No Build intersection analysis are shown in Tables 10 and 11. The complete
results are provided in Appendix B - Operational Analysis Results. Both methodologies showed the
operation of the study intersections along Archibald Yell Boulevard to deteriorate by Design Year 2040.
Multiple movements on the minor approaches are failing during at least one peak hour. The results show
the intersection at Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard will perform poorly in 2040.

The queue lengths for 2040 No Build conditions are tabulated in Tables 12 and 13. The SimTraffic results
show the queue lengths on the minor approaches at the College Avenue/Rock Street intersection will
worsen in 2040. Extensive queues are exhibited on the westbound approach on Rock Street and
northbound approach on College Avenue. As previously mentioned, the SimTraffic simulation shows
extensive southbound queueing at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard intersection which extends to the
School Avenue intersection in the PM peak hour. In addition, the simulation also shows significant queueing
in the PM peak hour for the northbound left -turn movement and the eastbound approach at the intersection

5.0 Build Conditions
The Fayetteville Mobility Plan provides recommended improvements for the Archibald Yell Boulevard
corridor, some of which were analyzed as part of this study. The Build alternative condition includes new
signals and pedestrian crossings at South Street, a road diet along Archibald Yell Boulevard reducing the
roadway dedicated to vehicles from four lanes to three lanes, and improvements to the intersection at
College Avenue/Rock Street. The Build alternative was evaluated for 2020 and 2040 design years.
A proposed concept of the improvements to the intersection at College Avenue/Rock Street consists of
intersection realignment with pedestrian crossings as shown in Figure 6. Traffic from Rock Street on the
west side of Archibald Yell Boulevard is no longer able to cross Archibald Yell Boulevard to continue east
on Rock Street and vice versa. Other restricted movements with the proposed concept are northbound
left -turn from Archibald Yell Boulevard to Rock Street, northbound left -turn from College Avenue to Rock
Street, and eastbound and westbound left -turns from Rock Street to Archibald Yell Boulevard.

Volume information from the NWARPC travel demand model was provided for the 2040 No Build conditions
(four lane) and the 2040 Build conditions (road diet). The daily volumes along Archibald Yell Boulevard
were compared between the two conditions. As shown in Table 14, the segment between Martin Luther
King, Jr. Boulevard and School Avenue show a slight volume reduction while the segment between School
Avenue and Rock Street show negligible volume increase in the Build conditions. Based on the results, it
was assumed that traffic will continue to use the study corridor in the Build conditions.

5.2 Operational Analysis — 2020 Build Conditions
Archibald Yell Boulevard Improvements
Traffic Study
As with Existing and No Build conditions, the study intersections were analyzed using Synchro and its
companion SimTraffic software. For the 2020 Build conditions, signal timings for the proposed traffic signal
at South Street were optimized and coordinated with the traffic signal at Mountain Street. The results are
described in the following subsections.
5.2.1 Roadway Segment Analysis
As part of the Build conditions, a road diet was proposed for the Archibald Yell Boulevard converting the
existing four -lane undivided roadway to a three -lane roadway. The three -lane roadway extends from north
of Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard to College Avenue/Rock Street. Lane configurations at Martin Luther
King Jr. Boulevard intersection remained the same as Existing conditions.
The Archibald Yell Boulevard corridor was analyzed as urban street segments according to the HCM
methodology. The results are summarized in Table 5. The complete results are provided in Appendix B -
Operational Analysis Results.
According to the results of this analysis, the segment between South Street and Mountain Street showed
LOS C or better for both directions during both peak hours. For the segment between Martin Luther King,
Jr. Boulevard and South Street, the northbound direction performed adequately for both peak hours,
however, the southbound direction showed poor LOS E in the PM peak hour.

at College Avenue/Rock Street (West). Both intersections will be stop -controlled in the minor approaches.
In addition, the intersection at South Street will be signalized and left -turn storage as added on the minor
approaches. The results from the 2020 Build intersection analysis are shown in Tables 16 and 17. The
complete results are provided in Appendix B- Operational Analysis Results.
The HCM methodology showed no results for the intersection at College Avenue/Rock Street (East), since
it does not support the proposed intersection geometry, and adequate LOS C or better for both peak hours
for the intersection at College Avenue/Rock Street (West). The results also show the intersection at South
Street will experience overall LOS C for both peak hours with LOS E for multiple movements on the minor
approaches.
The results according to the SimTraffic methodology show LOS C or better for all study intersections for
both peak hours with the exception of the eastbound movement at College Avenue/Rock Street (West)
which shows failing LOS F during the AM peak hour. The SimTraffic results for this movement varies from
the HCM results due to the low volume. The SimTraffic implies that delay may occur despite the low volume.

5.3 Operational Analysis — 2040 Build Conditions
The Build conditions were analyzed for the year 2040 utilizing the 2040 Build traffic volumes. The analyses
were performed using the same methodology and assumptions as were used for the 2020 Build conditions.
The results are described in the following subsections.
5.3.1 Roadway Segment Analysis
The Archibald Yell Boulevard was analyzed as urban street segments according to the HCM methodology.
The results are summarized in Table 20. The complete results are provided in Appendix B - Operational
Analysis Results.
According to the results of this analysis, the segment between South Street and Mountain Street showed
LOS C or better for both directions during both peak hours. For the segment between Martin Luther King,
Jr. Boulevard and South Street, the northbound direction performed adequately for both peak hours,
however, the southbound direction showed poor LOS E and LOS F in the AM and PM peak hour,
respectively, which is most likely due to the poor performance of the southbound approach at the Martin
Luther King, Jr. Boulevard intersection as shown in Table 21. The SimTraffic simulation shows extensive
southbound queueing at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard intersection.

5.3.2 Intersection Analysis
The results from the 2040 Build intersection analysis are shown in Tables 20 and 21. The complete results
are provided in Appendix B - Operational Analysis Results.
Table 20 shows LOS C or better for all movements at College Avenue/Rock Street (West) according to the
HCM methodology. At the South Street intersection, multiple movements will operate at failing LOS E/F in
the AM peak hour with overall LOS D. In the PM peak hour, this intersection operates overall at LOS C with
LOS E for the eastbound shared thru-right movement. At the Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard intersection,
the HCM results show the southbound approach will fail in 2040 similar to the No Build conditions.
According to the SimTraffic methodology, the majority of the movements for the study intersections will
operate adequately with the exception of failing LOS E/F for the northbound approach from College Avenue
at the College Avenue/Rock Street (East) intersection and for the eastbound approach at the College
Avenue/Rock Street (West) intersection during both peak hours. The SimTraffic results for the eastbound
approach College Avenue/Rock Street (West) varies from the HCM results due to the low volume. The
SimTraffic implies that delay may occur despite the low volume. The results also show the intersection at
Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard will perform poorly in 2040.

5.3.3 Queue Lengths
The queue lengths for the 2040 Build conditions are tabulated in Tables 22 and 23. The HCM results show
significant queue lengths at the South Street intersection on the northbound approach during both peak
hours and on the southbound approach during the PM peak hour. The results according to the SimTraffic
methodology show some queueing at the College Avenue/Rock Street (East) intersection on the westbound
approach along Rock Street in the AM peak hour and on the northbound approach along College Avenue
in the PM peak hour.
The SimTraffic results show extensive southbound queueing at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard
intersection in the PM peak hour, similar to the No Build conditions. The simulation also shows a significant
queue in the PM peak hour for the northbound left -turn movement and the eastbound approach at the

6.0 Conclusions
The proposed improvements for Archibald Yell Boulevard which includes new signals at South Street, a
road diet along Archibald Yell Boulevard, and improvements to the intersection at College Avenue/Rock
Street were analyzed for this study. Based on the results of the analysis, the following were concluded:
• The proposed road diet will perform adequately through the year 2040 for the segment of Archibald
Yell Boulevard between School Avenue and Mountain Street. The results show failing LOS for the
segment between South Street and Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard specifically for the
southbound direction. This is likely due to failing performance of the intersection of Archibald Yell
Boulevard and Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard by the year 2040. The segment between Martin
Luther King, Jr. and School Avenue should remain two lanes in each direction.
• The proposed signals at South Street intersection will provide acceptable level of service with LOS
D or better for all movements through the year 2040.
• The proposed conceptual improvements for the intersection at College Avenue/Rock Street will
improve the performance of the intersection when compared to No Build conditions. However, delay
and queues may still develop on the minor approaches.
