City Council Meeting of December 16, 2003
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
To: Mayor and City Council
Thru: Hugh Earnest, Chief Administrative Officer
From: Tim Conklin, Community Planning and Engineering Services Director
Date: November 25, 2003
Subject: Traffic & Transportation Study
Final Submittal
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that City Council accept the Traffic & Transportation Study dated
October 2003 as prepared by Bucher, Willis & Ratliff (BWR).
BACKGROUND
The Traffic & Transportation Study was "kicked off" with a Public Workshop held in the
Town Center on January 29th. The Notice to Proceed was issued earlier in October 2002
and the consultant was busy collecting traffic and population data prior to conducting the
workshop. Citizen input gathered at the workshop was used as a framework to guide the
consultant in specific areas of resident concern.
Public Meetings were held on June 26th, August 18th, and August 26th for the consultant
to present their findings and receive additional citizen comment. A final detailed
workshop was held with City Council on October 20th to review the entire Traffic &
Transportation Study with emphasis on the Master Street Plan, proposed typical sections,
intersection and roadway deficiencies, and proposed improvements to mitigate the
identified traffic deficiencies.
DISCUSSION
Staff recommends accepting the Traffic & Transportation Study as prepared and
submitted by BWR. In the future, staff will prepare ordinances based on the policies
drafted by BWR and incorporated within the study. Staff will present individual
ordinances and policies to City Council for approval covering Access Management,
Development Assessment, Traffic Calming and Smart Growth. Staff will also finalize

City Council Meeting of December 16, 2003
the Master Street Plan developed by BWR and also present this to City Council for
adoption.
BUDGET IMPACT
The act of accepting the Traffic & Transportation Study will not generate any immediate
expenditure of funds. However, Chapter 4, Implementation, has already been used by
City staff in the development of the 2004 - 2008 Capital Improvement Program.
Future implementation of the recommended Traffic Calming Policy may necessitate
creation of a budget to administer the program, c.g. performing traffic counts, speed
studies, traffic studies; installation of signs; construction of speed humps, traffic
diverters, and etc. as outlined in Appendix C: Residential Traffic Calming Toolbox or to
set aside a portion of the CIP budget for this program.

Executive Summary
• EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
INTRODUCTION
The City of Fayetteville authorized the completion of a city-wide traffic and transportation study
to determine the needs and priorities for transportation projects over the next 20 years. The
objectives of the study were threefold:
❑ Develop transportation and land use policies to guide development practices and
transportation investment decisions.
❑ Identify and prioritize street improvements to accommodate existing and future traffic
demands.
❑ Develop an overall transportation plan that provided for a street master plan, a multi-
modal plan, and a basis for a transportation capital improvement plan.
The study scope included all major streets and major intersections within the City planning limits,
the public transportation systems, and the City trail and sidewalk systems. Services provided as
pan of the study included data collection, analysis, public involvement facilitation, policy
preparation, and establishment of improvement priorities.
The study was documented through a study report comprised of chapters addressing:
o Introduction
o Master Street Plan
o Traffic Analysis
o Implementation
o Multi -Modal Assessment
o Traffic Calming Policy
o Access Management Policy
o Development Assessment Policy
❑ Smart Growth Policy
The study also included an executive summary and eight technical appendices containing data
and analysis worksheets.

Executive Summary
MASTER STREET PLAN
A street system must include local streets to provide access to properties, arterial streets to
provide mobility through the community, and collector streets to link local streets to arterial
streets. The proposed functional hierarchy of major streets for Fayetteville has been identified in
Figure ES -I. The street system functions best when the intended purposes of arterial, collector,
and local streets are protected, and when the overall street system includes the proper proportion
of each type of street. One of the purposes of identifying streets according to function is so that
standards can be established which will protect the function of the street. Typical roadway
sections have been developed based on street function and emphasize multi -modal design.
Sufficient right of way should be secured for moving vehicles, auxiliary lanes, parking lanes if
appropriate. transit activities. bicycle traffic, pedestrians, landscaping buffers, and utilities. Eight
typical right of way sections have been recommended to accommodate the future traffic
circulation demands in Fayetteville: 150 feet and 110 feet for principal arterial streets, 90 feet for
minor arterial streets, 70 feet for collector streets. 50 feet for historic collector streets, 60 and 50
feet for local streets, 40 feet for residential streets, and 20 feet for alleys. These eight widths'
accommodate 17 different typical roadway sections. The sections also make provision for bicycle
and pedestrian use of the right of way.

TRAFFIC ANALYSIS
During the initial project interactive workshop, one of the key issues of public concern was traffic
congestion within the community. This issue has been studied through a comprehensive traffic
data collection and analysis effort. The traffic analysis included all the signalized intersections
within the City and all the arterial streets. In addition, several non signalized intersections and
several collector streets were also identified for traffic analysis, for a total of 88 intersections,
30.5 miles of Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department (AHTD) highways, and 30.6
miles of City streets. These study streets were identified as arterial streets in the previous Master
Street Plan, or were collector streets that the City staff identified might be functioning as arterial
streets. The data collection involved compiling:
❑ Morning and afternoon peak hour traffic counts for major intersections.
❑ Daily traffic volumes.
❑ A windshield survey of the arterial streets, identifying road geometry.
U Travel time and delay surveys in a test car, on all arterial streets.
❑ Traffic signal timings.
The analysis of the traffic data included the following elements:
u Preparation of 20 year traffic forecasts.
❑ Development of a traffic simulation model.
U Intersection capacity analysis.
❑ Intersection queuing analysis.
❑ Arterial level of service analysis.
U Traffic volume/capacity comparison for arterial streets.
U Traffic congestion mitigation recommendations.
The analysis identified existing deficiencies in the street system's ability to carry traffic, and
deficiencies in carrying projected 2023 traffic volumes. Mitigations to accommodate existing
traffic volumes were identified as short range improvements, and additional mitigations to
accommodate the projected 2023 traffic volumes were identified as long range improvements.
Other improvements were recommended to accommodate future land development in Priority
Growth Areas or to complete street system continuity. Figures ES -2. ES -3, ES -4. and ES -5
depict the recommended short and long range improvements.

City of Fayetteville, Arkansas Traffic and Transportation Study
Even: five Summary
IMPLEMENTATION
The study has provided a slate of recommended traffic improvements and multi -modal strategies
to enhance transportation in the City over the next twenty years. The total cost of these
recommendations is such that the improvements will need to be implemented throughout the full
twenty years. as funding will allow. Therefore. the improvements must be prioritized so as to
implement the most critical recommendations first. with less pressing improvements following
later. Traffic congestion relief projects may be prioritized for both short range and long range
improvements on the basis of a congestion relief benefit to construction cost ratio. Projects not
geared to congestion relief should be allocated funding based on policy decisions for multi -modal
improvements. neighborhood preservation. development of priority growth areas, or other non -
quantifiable factors.
The study has identified 9 short range roadway priority projects at a an estimated cost of $45
million (in 2003 dollars) and 16 shoe range intersection priority projects at an estimated cost of
$21 million (in 2003 dollars). The study has also identified 36 long range projects needed in the
next twenty years. totaling more than $155 million in estimated project costs (in 2003 dollars). A
number of these projects are likely to remain un -funded in the City's capital improvement plan.
Tables ES -1, ES -2, and ES -3 summarize the projects and costs. These tables do not constitute the
capital improvement program, hut rather serve as source material for the development of the
program.
