To: City Council
From: Dan Coody, Mayor
Date: August 6, 2004
Subject: Resolution of Intent to Participate with AHTD on Improvements to
Highway 265 from Highway 45 to the North City Limits
RECOMMENDATION: Approve attached Rolution,
BACKGROUND: Earlier this Spring the City of Fayetteville responded to a challenge
from AHTD for local participation in helping to resolve local transportation issues on
State facilities. By City Council Resolution the city committed $7.7 million to match an
equal or greater State share for improvements to facilities on or relieving facilities at or
beyond capacity on the State System located within Fayetteville. The projects listed as a
high priority in Fayetteville were:
Highway Projects
• Highway 265 (Crossover Road) --Highway 45 (Mission) north to City Limits)
• Highway 45 --North Street east to City Limit
• Highway 16 East --Highway 71B east to City Limit
• Highway 180 (Township) --Gregg Street 71B (College Ave.) to Highway 180/
Local Street Linkages for Traffic Relief
• Zion Road --Highway 265 to Highway 71B (College Ave.)
• Rupple Road/Howard Nickell/Highway 112 --Highway 62 to Van Asche
• Mount Comfort Road--Rupple Road to I-540
Studies
• North Street --Highway 45 (Mission) to Gregg Street
• Arkansas Ave. Extension --Maple to Garland
• Fulbright/I-540 Access to Regional Retail, Office, and Medical Center
Subsequent to this Resolution the AHTD proposed that the Highway 265 Corridor from
Highway 45 to Rogers become a regional priority as well as a State priority. The AHTD
has indicated that the communities to the north have been requested participate in this
Corridor improvement also.
As Mayor, 1 have brought this to the Street Committee and discussed it with the Council.
Based upon that discussion, I forwarded a letter to the AHTD indicating the City of
Fayetteville's interest in partnering with AHTD and our neighbors to the north in creating
this 265, eastern bypass for 1-540.
DISCUSSION
The AHTD has requested a City Council Resolution supporting the Highway 265 project.
My recommendation to the Council is to approve the attached Resolution supporting the
265 project, contingent upon our neighboring communities to the north also participating
so that this Highway 265 corridor will become in essence an eastern bypass providing the
needed relief for 1-540.
