MEETING OF APRIL 17, 2018
TO: Mayor and City Council
THRU: Garner Stoll, Development Services Director
FROM: Andrew Garner, City Planning Director
Chris Brown, City Engineer
DATE: March 22, 2018
SUBJECT: ADM 18-6098: ROLLING HILLS DR./SKILLERN RD. CORRIDOR MASTER
STREET PLAN AMENDMENT, 252-253): Submitted by the DEVELOPMENT
SERVICES DEPARTMENT to amend the Master Street Plan classification of the
Rolling Hills Drive/Skillern Road corridor.
RECOMMENDATION:
Development Services Department staff and the Planning Commission recommend approval
of a resolution to amend the Master Street Plan to downgrade the Rolling Hills Drive/Skillern
Road corridor.
BACKGROUND:
The subject property is a 2.5 -mile east -west street corridor between Oakland Zion Road in the
Planning Area and College Avenue in the core of Fayetteville. The corridor follows the existing
alignment of Skillern Road and Rolling Hills Drive, including an unbuilt section through wooded
land south of Butterfield Elementary School. The Master Street Plan designates this corridor as a
Principal Arterial. After discussing development potential in the area with property owners, it was
discussed that a Principal Arterial is excessive and that a two-lane Collector will adequately
accommodate desired connectivity in the future.
Proposed Master Street Amendment
Staff proposes to downgrade the Rolling Hills Drive/Skillern Road Principal Arterial corridor to a
Collector. The amendment would also result in a slight shift in the future road alignment near Oak
Bailey Drive for traffic calming and to reduce undeveloped land disturbance. An exhibit showing
the extent of the amendment and the road alignment is attached.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends the amendment finding that while east -west connectivity is needed in this
region of the City and the Planning Area, it is not necessary for Rolling Hills or Skillern Road be
classified as an arterial. Collector Street connectivity between College Avenue, Crossover Road,
and Oakland Zion Road will be adequate for traffic flow and safety. The recommendation is based
on the long-term public safety and quality life improvements gained by maintaining a smaller, well
connected street network. The context of the existing developed two-lane street corridor can
adequately accommodate traffic flow. Much of this corridor is largely developed in the immediate
vicinity and road widening is not desired or necessary. The proximity of other east -west Collector
Streets including Old Wire Road, Township Street, and Joyce Boulevard, in combination with the
subject corridor, will provide vehicular and pedestrian connectivity needed to accommodate future
growth. The Citywide Mobility Plan recently completed by transportation consultants, Nelson
Nygaard confirms this recommendation. Chapter 5 of the Mobility Plan includes a brief analysis
of the benefits of the Rolling Hills connection.
Public Comment
Staff held two neighborhood meetings to discuss the Master Street Plan classification: one in fall
2017 and one in winter 2018. The meetings focused on the unbuilt Rolling Hills portion of the
corridor. There have been numerous public comments concerned with traffic speeds, pedestrian
safety, and cut -through traffic. Many residents in the area request Rolling Hills and the unbuilt
connection be removed off the Master Street Plan. A copy of written public comment has been
attached to this report.
DISCUSSION:
On March 12, 2018, the Planning Commission forwarded the proposal to the City Council with a
recommendation to downgrade the subject Master Street Plan corridor to a Collector by a vote of
7-1-0 (Brown voted `no'). The commission also made a separate motion on the future street
alignment, agreeing with staff's recommendation by a vote of 6-2-0 (Belden and Brown voted
`no'). A large number residents spoke at the meeting recommending the Rolling Hills connection
be removed from the Master Street Plan.

THRU: Chris Brown, City Engineer

DATE: April 19, 2018
SUBJECT: Summary of Transportation Project Prioritization Tool
STAFF MEMO
BACKGROUND:
Nelson\Nygaard Consulting Associates met with City Staff on March 1911 and 2011 to develop a
Fayetteville -specific project prioritization tool used to "score" potential capital improvement
projects against one another. The tool is in Excel Spreadsheet format and contains a top row of
metrics based on city values which Nelson\Nygaard recommended based on previous public
and stakeholder involvement as well as city staff and council direction during the workshop.
The identified metrics are Health/Safety, Economy, Environment, Equity, and Deliverability/
Funding. The values are further subdivided into specific data -driven metrics that can be
assigned a score from (-5) to (+5). Each row of the spreadsheet represents a project either
identified in Nelson\Nygaard's plan or identified previously by other city efforts. The project list is
still fluid and can be altered based on stakeholder, council, or public input. The project lists
could also be categorized by project type so that, for example, traffic signal projects could be
scored solely against other signal projects.
Each project must be assigned a "score" for each applicable value -metric. The scores are
somewhat subjective, but the city's GIS Division has created a map showing data from a variety
of sources spatially which allows city staff to focus on the project location and quickly access
meaningful data related to the various metrics.
DISCUSSION:
After initial use of this tool and review of available data, the following items have been identified
as potential adjustments to the tool:
1. Remove "County Health" sub -metric from the Health/Safety Value due to lack of
accessible or distinguishing data.
2. Add an "Economic Development" sub -metric to the Economy Value.
3. Combine "Access for People with Disabilities" to "Access for Older Adults" to create a
single sub -category titled "Access for Older Adults or Persons with Disabilities" to the
Equity Value. Again, this is due to lack of distinguishing data between the two.

The project scoring tool, with a few example projects and scores, is attached. An interactive
version of this document is also available at:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/z9ibt2zwnth2vvm/COPY%20of%20CIP%20Promect%20Prioritization%
20Tool.xlsx?dl=0
The top row of the spreadsheet allows each value sub -metric to be weighted within the value
total -score, and then each value total -score can be weighted against the other values. For
example, if the "Economy" value was weighted high, that value would have a larger impact on
the total score.
Finally, an "instructions" page is included in the Spreadsheet to inform scorers' how to interpret
the available data for each metric. This instruction sheet was developed by staff after going
through an initial scoring process, and is intended to produce consistency across various users.
The Committee is invited to download the spreadsheet and test the weighting system, to see
how certain weightings may impact the results. A few example projects have been scored and
provided in the test spreadsheet.

TRANSPORTATION BOND PROGRAM
PROGRESS REPORT — APRIL, 2018
The Transportation Bond Program consists of projects that will be designed, contracted, and
administered by City Staff or consultants/contractors working for the City, along with 5 projects
that will be designed and administered by the Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT).
Seventeen (17) projects have been completed; all projects in the original program are underway
and are in various stages of design or construction. In April 2013, several additional projects
were approved by the City Council. A summary of the status of all projects in the program
follows below.
Funding for the Bond Program includes $65.9 million in bonds along with federal aid funding
and additional sales tax funding from the City's Capital Improvements fund.
1) RUPPLE ROAD (STARRY NIGHT VIEW TO MT. COMFORT RD.)
a. Project Summary
• Includes a new bridge and a realignment of Rupple so that it connects to the
existing signal at Mount Comfort Road and the segment of Rupple Road
north of Mt. Comfort. This is a federal -aid project; federal funds will supply up
to 80% of the funding for this segment.
b. Recent Actions:
o The Archeological field work is complete.
o Construction contract has been awarded to Crossland Heavy
Contractors for $5,574,726
o The Pre -Construction meeting was held on March 21 with Crossland
Heavy and Garver Engineers.
c. Upcoming Activities:
o It is anticipated that the Management Summary report will be
complete by the middle of April and submitted to ArDOT for review
and approval.
o Construction is anticipated to begin by June 1s` after the Archeological
Management Summary report has been approved.
