CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
To: Mayor and City Council
Thru: Don Marr, Chief of Staff
Jeremy Pate, Development Services Director
From: Chris Brown, City Engineer
Date: December 22, 2009
Subject: Traffic Calming Program-Policy Discussion
Recently, Staff has received two requests for speed tables with offers to pay for the cost of speed tables. One
request was made by the Boardwalk Subdivision POA, and another by an indivual on 7t1i Street. Since there is
no policy governing this situation, Staff requests direction with regard to traffic calming requests that include
offers to pay for cost of the installation.
The City's existing traffic calming policy provides for a study to be completed upon request. The study consists
mainly of a speed and volume study, with a point value assigned to each request location based on the results of
the study. (A copy of the rating criteria for local and collector streets is attached). Locations that meet the
criteria are then considered for traffic calming. In 2008 and 2009, requests have been taken and compiled, but
no studies have been completed due to lack of funding for installation of traffic calming devices.
With regard to requests for speed tables with associated offers to cost share and/or pay for the cost of traffic
calming, staff recommends the following policies
• Speed tables or other traffic will in no case be installed unless the requested location meets the minimum
point total as established by a speed and volume study per the existing policy.
• Requests and offers to pay shall be made by an authorized POA representative. In the absence of a
POA, a petition signed by the majority of property owners within 500 feet either side of the proposed
speed table location must be presented before a study will be initiated.
• Speed tables shall be prefabricated, modular type structures meeting the design criteria of the City.
• Speed tables and associated signage and striping will be installed by the Transportation Division.
Payment for the total estimated cost of the materials and contract labor must be received before
installation begins.
• Locations of the speed tables will be determined by the Engineering Division and will be based on street
geometries and grade,,intersection locations, etc., in accordance with accepted practices.
• After installation, the speed table and all appurtenances become the property of the City. Maintenance,
relocation, removal, etc. will be performed by the Transportion Division.
• All other elements of the existing policy shall remain in effect.

IDENTIFICATION OF TRAFFIC CALMING STRATEGIES
City staff shall present to the residents living within the area of potential impact the results of the
traffic calming study and rating, at a meeting called for that purpose. Where traffic calming may
be appropriate, as determined by a rating 60 or greater, the City staff shall present relevant
strategies as options for traffic calming, as provided in the attached strategy toolbox. The
Appendix C strategy tool box is subdivided into two phases. Phase I includes signing, marking,
and other enforcement techniques. Phase II tools includes traffic calming strategies involving
designed features. The advantages and disadvantages of each strategy will be presented at the
meeting. A vote will be conducted at the public meeting to identify the preferred strategy. A
ballot will be sent out to all residents in the area of potential impact presenting the preferred
option for endorsement of the preferred strategy. Support of sixty percent (60%) or more of the
property owners in the area of potential impact is required before the City will give further-
consideration to traffic calming implementation.

PROGRAMMING OF TRAFFIC CALMING IMPROVEMENTS
Once each year. City staff will prioritize those traffic calming strategies within the City that have
been approved within their area of impact. Prioritization will be based on the rating system. The
City will program priority traffic calming improvements within the capital improvement budget,
as approved by the City Council. Those traffic calming improvement locations not selected, will
remain in consideration for up to three years.
I
DESIGN OF TRAFFIC CALMING PROJECTS
The design of traffic calming devices must meet the following criteria:
❑ The posted speed may not be more than thirty (30) miles per hour.
❑ The street shall have an ADT of less than 4,000.
❑ Limited to streets having only one lane of through traffic in each direction.
❑ Streets must not be primary emergency routes.
❑ At the discretion of the City Engineer, certain traffic calming measures may not be used
if they would create an unsafe condition for motorists driving at normal speeds under
average driving conditions.
❑ Streets must not be through truck routes unless an acceptable alternative route is
identified and approved. Design of traffic calming features shall accommodate a single
unit truck.
EVALUATION OF TRAFFIC CALMING PROJECTS
Six months following the completion of the traffic calming improvements, the City staff will
undertake a follow-up study to determine if the traffic calming features have achieved the initial
purpose of the project. If unacceptable impacts are identified, corrective measures may be taken.
Traffic calming measures may be removed after the evaluation period for any of the following
reasons:
❑ Emergency response is significantly impacted.
❑ The problem for which the traffic calming was implemented has been transferred to
another street.
At least sixty percent (60%) of the property owners in the defined area of impact sign a petition to
remove the traffic calming measures. This option will result in complete removal of all measures. �
All property owners within the defined neighborhood will be assessed for the removal of the
calming measures. This procedure for removing traffic calming devices will not be considered for
a minimum of three years following completion of the construction.

Street Committee Memo
To: Street Committee
Thru: Chris Brown, City Engineer
From: Matt Mihalevich, Trails Coordinator
Date: December 18, 2009
Subject: On-Street Bike Facility Plan
A major step in expanding the alternative transportation network in Fayetteville is the incorporation of bike
facilities to existing streets. On-street bike facilities work together with the system of trails to expand the
connections to neighborhoods, schools, parks and businesses with safe routes for bicycling. The Fayetteville
Alternative Transportation and Trails master plan identifies 160 miles of existing and new streets for bicycle
facilities. These streets have been measured and rated based on their connectivity to existing trails, topography
and existing bicycle use and 24 streets, or 20 miles are currently of sufficient width to accommodate bicycles.
The attached map includes these 24 proposed streets with the corresponding priority number.
The plan includes adding bike symbols and signs to the streets as specified in the Manual of Uniform Control
Devices (MUTCD) to designate the street as a safe place for bicycles. Some of the existing streets are currently
wide enough to accommodate a 5 foot wide bike lane on each side. These streets are proposed to have a 4"
wide white line separating the bike lane from vehicle traffic and bike symbols every 250 feet with bike route
and bike lane signs. On streets that are not wide enough for a bike lane, a shared lane can be created. The
MUTCD has a new bike symbol for shared lanes called the"Sharrow" that is ideal for designating a street as
shared with motor vehicles and bicycles. The majority of our existing streets fall into the category for a shared
lane. These streets are proposed to have a thermoplastic sharrow symbol every 250 feet located 4 feet from the
face of curb along with share the road signs and bike route signs.
i
The Transportation Department has set allocated $40,000 for 2010 from the Trails CIP program for the bike
symbols and signs. Based on this funding level, 8 miles of new on-street facilities can be created in 2010. The
attached map is a draft of the streets proposed for improvement; however this is a working document and
subject to change based on public comment. The plan will be presented to the Sidewalks and Trails Task Force
in January for further public comment. Please evaluate the plan and provide feedback on the routes that are of
highest important for bike facilities.

STREET COMMITTEE MEMO
To: Fayetteville Street Committee
Thru: Don Marr, Chief of Staff
Jeremy Pate, Development Services Director
From: Chris Brown, City EngineerC?D'
Date: December 22, 2009
Subject: Rupple Road-South of Mount Comfort Road
I
I
Improvements to Rupple Road, south of Mount Comfort Road, were reviewed by the Street Committee in
October, 2009. At that meeting, this section of Rupple was established as one of the projects to be considered
for funding through unused Bond Program funding that may be available in 2014. At discussed at the meeting
in October, staff has been reviewing additional funding opportunities for this project.
Rupple Road is listed on the 2030 Regional Transportation Plan, and was on the list of projects submitted by the
Northwest Arkansas Regional Planning Commission(NWARPC) to the Arkansas Highway and Transportation
Department (AHTD) for inclusion in the 2010-2013 Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP).
The draft STIP does not include Rupple Road; however, NWARPC has advocated for inclusion of this project
in the attached letter to AHTD.
Reference is made in the letter to STP-U projects. The maximum funding through the STP-U Program is $1
million per project. In addition to STP-U funding, Rupple Road may also be eligible to receive funding through
the AHTD Bridge Program since a bridge over Hamestring Creek will need to be replaced as part of the project.
Funding through the bridge program is also capped at $1 million. Both programs require 20%matching funds.
Staff is presenting this funding opportunity for discussion, with the following factors to consider:
i
1. The total cost of the project (2009 dollars) is estimated to be$3.7 million. The City would be
responsible for all project costs above the $2 million maximum available from the two funding
programs.
2. Full funding most likely will not be available until 2014 or after.
If the Street Committee wishes to pursue this funding opportunity, the first step is to send a letter to AHTD
requesting the project be added to the STIP and considered for funding under the STP-U and Bridge Programs.
AHTD will then proceed with an eligibility review, and, if the project meets all of the requirements to be
eligible under the two programs, will request a funding commitment from the City before adding it to the STIP.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
To: Mayor and City Council
Thru: Don Marr, Chief of Staff
Jeremy Pate, Development Services Director
From: Chris Brown, City Engineer
Date: December 17, 2009
Subject: Mount Comfort Road Improvements-Watson Condemnation Settlement Proposal
Agenda Item for the January 5"', 2010 City Council Meeting
PROPOSAL:
Widening of Mount Comfort Road is being completed under the Transportation Bond Program. As part of this
project, right of way and easements were needed on 66 properties. 65 property owners negotiated a settlement
with the City for the necessary right of way, leaving only one acquisition that required condemnation. The area
of new right of way to be acquired was 1,711 square feet. A utility easement of 2,945 square feet adjacent to
the new right of way was needed as well. The property in question is located at the northeast corner of Salem
Road and Mount Comfort Road; owners are Aaron H. and Patricia Ann Watson.
In order to gain possession of the property, the City deposited $30,000, representing the appraised value of the
land needed for the project, into escrow with the Washington County Circuit Clerk, and was granted an Order of
Possession on July 24`h, 2009. This Order of Possession allowed the City to proceed with construction of the
project.
Recently, the City Attorney's Office received an offer to settle this case for $22,000. This would bring the total
compensation for the right of way and easements to $52,000.
RECOMMENDATION:
This property is located at the intersection of Salem Road and Mount Comfort Road, and the driveway to the
house on the property is on Salem Road, very near the Mount Comfort intersection. With the planned
improvements, the house will be nearer to the roadway, and the driveway will be nearer to the intersection.
Damage to the property value due to these factors is reflected in the City's appraisal report; however, this
damage is subjective and the property owners have argued that they have damages in excess of the City's
appraisal.
THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE,ARKANSAS
Additionally, settlement at this stage eliminates the cost of staff time that would be necessary to prepare for a
trial, along with the cost associated with the City's contract appraiser testimony that would be required.
For these reasons, Staff recommends approval of a settlement with Aaron H. and Patricia Ann Watson in the
amount of$22,000.
BUDGETIMPACT:
This payment for land acquisition will be made from the project budget allocated for the Mount Comfort Road
Widening Project which is funded by the Transportation Bond Program.
