TC MEETING OF MAY 25,2021
TO: Transportation Committee
THRU: Chris Brown, Public Works Director
FROM: Matt Casey, Engineering Design Manager
DATE: May 20, 2021
SUBJECT: North and Mission Intersection
CITY COUNCIL MEMO
BACKGROUND:
Mission Boulevard (Highway 45) is an important active transportation connection for the east
side of Fayetteville. In 2015, the City in-house construction crew built a'/z mile section of 12-
foot-wide shared use paved trail from the Mission Heights neighborhood to Viewpoint Dr. In
2019, a shared use paved trail and cycle track was completed along Old Wire Road from
Mission Blvd. to Gulley Park where the Niokaska Creek Trail will soon be completed.
The goal of the Mission Blvd. Trail and Street Improvements Project is to connect these two
projects and extend a safe and comfortable route for bicycles and pedestrians along Mission
Blvd from Viewpoint Dr. to Maple Street where on -street routes connect to downtown and the
Razorback Greenway. This 1.5-mile corridor is proposed to include a 12-foot-wide shared use
paved trail with green space separation with trees, lighting, curb and storm drainage with a
focus on bike and pedestrian safety. This project is identified as a priority in the Active
Transportation Master Plan and as a catalyst project in the Northwest Arkansas Bicycle &
Pedestrian Plan. In addition, this project ranks number 6 by the Mobility Plan project
prioritization scoring matrix.
In 2019, the Toole Design Group provided the targeted bicycle network strategy for Fayetteville.
This report recommends several street corridors for enhancement with bicycle facilities including
the Midtown and Mission Blvd. corridors. The guide provides specific design concepts to safely
incorporate bicycles and pedestrians. At the intersection of North Street and Mission Blvd. the
bicycle network strategy identified a roundabout. Based on this recommendation, Crafton, Tull
& Associates was asked to include design study for the roundabout in the scope of their design
contract approved in June of 2020 by resolution 181-20.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Fayetteville requested public input on this project throughout the Spring of 2021 by
mailing out notification forms and an online survey and comment form on the Speak Up
Fayetteville page. As of May 18', 2021, we received over 760 comments from the public that
are provided in the agenda packet. The comments are overall very positive regarding the trail
improvements, but many questions and concerns were voiced about the roundabout at North St.
and Mission Blvd. These questions were also brought up at the April 2021 Transportation
Committee. In response, staff worked with our Transportation Division to collect current traffic
Mailing Address:
113 W. Mountain Street www.fayetteville-ar.gov
Fayetteville, AR 72701
counts and turning movements. Using this data, 2040 and 2050 traffic counts were developed.
Crafton, Tull and Associates used these numbers to analyze the levels of service for the
roundabout proposed while the City staff analyzed the levels of service for a signalized
condition. Below is a comparison of the levels of service:

A review of this data shows that either option would produce acceptable levels of service for
each approach direction. The only movement that is not desirable is the 2050 East bound PM
movement for the roundabout (LOS E). In all other AM and PM movements, the roundabout
produces the same or slightly better levels of service compared to the signal.
This analysis does not take into account pedestrian movements for either option. The
roundabout design would provide rectangular rapid flashing beacons (RRFB) with crosswalks
on each leg of the roundabout. The traffic signal option would include geometric improvements
to better accommodate crosswalks for each leg of the intersection. The signal timing and
configuration would be designed to accommodate pedestrian and bicycle traffic through the
intersection, the trail and sidewalks.
BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT:
The design and construction for the intersection portion of this project will be paid for with the
funds from the 2019 Transportation Bond Fund. The trail portion of this project is to be
constructed with the in-house trail construction program utilizing 1.5 million of CIP funding.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Due to the significant increase in cost for the roundabout option and the acceptable levels of
service provided by the signal option, staff recommends that the City pursue the signalized
intersection with improvements to enhance pedestrian safety.
ACTION REQUESTED BY COMMITTEE:
Staff is requesting a Committee recommendation to pursue the signal option.

CITY COUNCIL MEMO
SUBJECT: Archibald Yell Safety Improvements Public Survey Results
RECOMMENDATION:
City staff recommends review of public comments prior to final approval of the Archibald Yell
lane realignment and intersection improvements project.
BACKGROUND:
The Archibald Yell Road Diet project was a key recommendation in the 2019 Mobility Plan that
is expected to greatly enhance the walkability and safety and accessibility for people walking
from south Fayetteville to downtown. Key parts of the plan include reconfiguring the road from 4
lanes to 3 with a painted buffer space on the west/north side of the road for pedestrians. The
plans also detail a redesign of the intersections of Rock and S. School Street with College Ave
and a signal at South Street with protected crosswalks.
In conjunction with a traffic study of the corridor the City released plan documents and two
public surveys regarding the project. The surveys had approximately 700 total surveys
completed responses.
DISCUSSION:
The attached report details the public comments.
Some key takeaways from public comment include:
1. Strongly negative perceptions of the safety of existing conditions- particularly for
pedestrians.
2. Strong support for adding sidewalks and safety crossings.
3. Mixed feedback on the lane reductions with may people concerned about congestion.
4. Little support for dedicated bicycle facilities for this project due steep grades and
availability of alternate routes.
5. Significant number of requests for pedestrian tunnels and bridges crossings that have
been deemed infeasible.

Anonymous I travel on Rock Street daily and this
6/29/2020 would alleviate all the traffic issues I
face regularly.
Anonymous ABY was created as a bypass. If the
6/29/2020 11:42 AM city makes ABY more difficult, I will
not be frequenting businesses in
south Fayetteville. Springdale is
closer to my home but Fayetteville is
closer to work.
Anonymous I feel that this is a good inexpensive
design that will allow pedestrians to
easily and safely cross Arch Yell
without needing to install a traffic
signal
Anonymous Cars frequently don't stay in their
6/29/2020 11:45 AM lane.
Anonymous I think the pedestrian crossing would
6/29/2020 11:46 AM be dangerous and bad for traffic.
Anonymous It would seem that at least one of the
S. College turns should allow the left
turn onto Archibald Yell.
Anonymous
The speed is appropriate given traffic
flow surrounding area
Anonymous This will create unnecessary
6/29/2020 11:52 AM congestion during moderate to peak
traffic times daily. Will cause
significant issues during Razorback
games of most sports.
Anonymous Although posted at 35mph and 25
mph recommended, cars always
pass me, meaning they're going
above the 35 mph speed limit, 25mph
is a much better speed for a
neighborhood street. I also think
college from North to MLK should be
a 25mph zone.

RSchaffner I think you mean Q9 - I can't think of
6/29/2020 12:17 PM a way to make this design better. But
if you meant 8 - then I feel it moves
too fast because its near impossible
Page 13 of 253
Archibald Yell Improvements Questionnaire : Survey Report for 08 August 2018 to 16 May 2021
to do anything but drive on Archibald
Yell due to the road design and
speed of cars. For those of us who
primarily bike and walk, this is a huge
hinderance to getting downtown.
Anonymous It will improve safety
Anonymous Improves ability to walk across the
6/29/2020 12:18 PM road safely. Would add
pedestrian/bike path on east side of
Archibald Yell, south to MLk.
Anonymous I think it's generally a good proposal,
but it seems like there needs to be
some way for drivers to turn left onto
Archibald Yell Blvd, which would
likely come from alternate (and likely
larger) changes that may not be
possible at the time.
Anonymous I feel fine and safe to drive on
6/29/2020 12:30 PM Archibald Yell as is. A fifty line in the
middle would be helpful. As
population grow the traffic congestion
is increasing year after year. This is a
major artery (fast speed street) and
it's part of College Ave. Changing its
nature and reducing it to it to 2 or 3
lanes (low speed) would cause
congestion at north on College Ave
at the intersection with Rock St, and
at south with MILK

automobiles. The road is particurlarly
dicey in Icy Winter weather and
throughout the year when wet roads

alternative access of lanes could be
extremely dangerous.

Anonymous Our Engineering Division is excellent,
6/29/2020 12:50 PM and I respect their advice and
recommendation.
Anonymous This seems to be the tricky
6/29/2020 12:54 PM intersection and is the intersection
where I usually enter and exit
College. Frequently there are 3 cars
at each street waiting to enter or turn
L. North bound drivers at the S
College stop sign will pull out in front
of a south bound driver making a left
off College onto E Rock every time.
When there are 2 cars stopped on E
Rock and S College, there is usually
a game of dare to see who will pull
out first.
Anonymous If you mean question 9, then 1
6/29/2020 12:54 PM appreciate that it factors in
pedestrian crossing. I believe it will
make my life significantly more
protected as a pedestrian who
crosses this intersection daily.
Anonymous This will create confusion with rock
street entering the roadway and
being able to continue to turn left off
of archibald yell across a blind turn
will not be improved
Anonymous It eliminates the confusion of who
6/29/2020 01:03 PM has the right of way when turning
onto Archibald Yell from either S.
College or Rock Street and
Page 15 of 253

eliminates the right of way issue (that
shouldn't be an issue...) between
those traveling south bound on
Archibald Yell and those wishing to
enter (northbound) onto Archibald
Yell from South College. I honestly
cannot tell you how many times I
have nearly been hit turning onto
Rock Street from Archibald Yell by
someone attempting to enter
Archibald Yell from S. College. No
matter how many "yield to south
bound traffic" signs are put up,
people just don't get it and it
continues to be a very dangerous
intersection.
Anonymous Do you mean question #9? If so,
6/29/2020 01:05 PM because I think it will still be
dangerous to cross Hwy 71 B at Rock
St. on foot, as proposed.
Anonymous This doesn't seem like a solution to
6/29/2020 01:12 PM the problem to me.
Anonymous I live at 307 S Block Ave and having
lived here some 5 years or so no less
then 3 cars have jumped the curb
and even hit one of the apartments
on a couple ocassions. I have kids I
can't help but think that slowing down
the speed limit could help with this.
Anonymous I think that IF everyone is going 35
6/29/2020 01:15 PM MPH or less then this is safe as
designed. Many people are going
much faster than the posted speed
limit and this increases the level of
accident risk/adjacent lane
interference.
Anonymous Any change to that intersection is an
improvement but this still looks kind
of confusing.
Anonymous It removes the conflict between S.
6/29/2020 01:20 PM College and Rock, making turns from

Anonymous That is a lot of things going on in an
already dangerous intersection.
Seems hazardous as proposed, but
also hard to envision.
Anonymous There are people who drive too fast
and people who drive too slow, in my
opinion. So whatever you do, the
drivers that are nervous through that
stretch are going to drive too slow
and the ones who are comfortable
are going to continue to speed. You
just have to make sure there is room
to go around the slow cars safely and
make sure that the speeding cars
can get around you safely.
Anonymous Curvy road, people usually driving
6/29/2020 01:30 PM over speed limit, not much pedestrian
protection, way too much vehicular
options at Rock street.
Anonymous Traveling southbound and as the

more traffic needing to merge be they
are in the wrong lane. Seems it

Lessen the curve for S bound
Archibald Yell traffic.
Anonymous It is a difficult area in serious need of
6/29/2020 01:59 PM improvement for safety and
pedestrians. A pedestrian would still
have to negotiate a number of
crossings to go between downtown
and S College but it does increase
foot traffic safety.
Anonymous It's too fast due to the curves in the
6/29/2020 02:00 PM road.
Anonymous Unless I missed something, the spot
6/29/2020 02:01 PM where driver is turning right from
Rock Street to go north on College
and the spot where driver is stopped
at the top of College and plans to
proceed north on College has always
been unclear to me as to who has
right of way. It's like playing cat and
mouse at that 'intersection' and I've
had too many close calls at that
place. Add some pedestrians to that
and it is a scary situation.

6/29/2020 02:07 PM witnessed many accidents or near
accidents along the street. Most of
them seem to be due to distracted
driving or speed. Changes that I
referenced in #9 would be a way to
allow for safe pedestrian crossing of
college. I feel without a signalized
intersection traffic will not stop for
pedestrians. Also there are sightline
issues for pedestrians crossing
archibald at the southern crossing.

Anonymous Because the speed and traffic is just
6/29/2020 02:14 PM fine the way it is. There shouldn't be
any pedestrians or bikes in that area.
If there are then they can go to an
already established light or crosswalk
to get downtown. Stop screwing up
the city streets. There are more
drivers than pedestrians and they
should be given first consideration.

Anonymous It should make it slightly less
6/29/2020 02:26 PM confusing.
Anonymous (I'm assuming this referred to
6/29/2020 02:32 PM question #9) 1 think the intersection is
an excellent solution because it
reduces the number of lanes in each
direction and clarifies the intention of
each lane. Drivers and pedestrians
won't have to anticipate whether a
left turn signal is a left turn onto Rock
or onto College or any other
confusion. I think it's a great idea.
Anonymous I think the 2 pedestrian crossings is
6/29/2020 02:34 PM very helpful. And the dedicated
turn/merge lanes is much safer.
Anonymous I go south on college and turn left
6/29/2020 02:48 PM onto rock everyday to get home from
work. People coming north on
college frequently dont yield correctly
to the right of way given they have a
stop sign and i have had near
misses that could have been very
serious car accidents multiple times a
week. Fixing this intersection is very
important however the above design
just looks like the same headache
shaped differently.

Anonymous Improved visibility and elimination of
6/29/2020 02:59 PM left turn possibility from eastbound
Rock onto Archibald - this is great!
Also seems like a good way to
alleviate the bottleneck of traffic for
people trying to turn left onto S.
College while southbound, which
creates traffic issues every day in my
experience.
Anonymous Well, I don't give a lot of credit to the
6/29/2020 03:31 PM modern driver honestly. Mostly I see
people barely able to give the
minimal attention required to
navigate safely. This intersection isn't
really that bad once you realize the
people stopped at the north bound
stop sign on college are required to
yield to South bound traffic turning
into rock st. (This would still be a
problem with the proposed change)
However, that traffic rule isn't
communicated effectively to all
parties in the intersection. To know
this you would have to have both
driven north on college starting at
MLK and be able to read signs as
you go. And if you have ever gone
north on college from MLK then I
don't know why you would do it a
second time. There are so many
better options. I would, as proposed,
soften the angle (and grade) of
approach to College from Rock st.,
and block left turns. That way people
could actually accelerate into traffic
without losing traction. I would close
the north bound lane of "little
college", but would still allow south
bound traffic to enter the
neighborhood. I would Definitely
keep the crosswalks and give the
pedestrians the ability to stop traffic
when they cross. Otherwise they risk
their lives in "The Gauntlet of the
Modern Motorist". Making archibald
yell two lanes and a turning lane
seems like there would just be a

traffic jam there everyday. The south
bound left turn lanes wouldn't matter,
because no south bound traffic would
ever have the opportunity to turn
onto rock or college anyway. There
would be a Funeral parade of cars
coming up the hill, and still going fast
as the slowest car. Once we all admit
the fact that the battle of archibald
yell is lost, we can close all the side
streets between South School and
Rock St and put a traffic signal and
good pedestrian crossing in at rock
st. , clap the dust off our hands, and
call it a day. All that to say, I think
what you have would improve that
intersection. (as long as the
pedestrian crosswalk stops traffic) I
also think it would make a lot of
congestion, complaints, and honking
as people failed to merge
considerately. You know they will be
such jerks.

no need need for a dedicated right -
turn lane from northbound AY onto
southbound S. College Ave. If people
want that stretch of road, they may
and do continue eastbound on MLK
and turn right onto that stretch of S.
College. That should be NO right -
turn, if anything. Then you could
effectively make that section of S.
School ONE-WAY ONLY,
northbound. That would make the
intersection a 4-way with AY and
Rock in both directions. People
northbound on AY could make a right
turn on Rock or continue straight.
People on Rock could effectively
then be allowed to travel in both
directions. AFTER that intersection,
heading north on College is where
the road should be reduced to three
lanes, with a dedicated center turn
lane.
This is a terrible intersection, so any
improvements are welcome.

Anonymous I think there are too many issues with

get it straight. I would suggest
pedestrian crossing be 1 block north
at the stoplight, that would by far be
the safest place. Too many exits and
entrances for a safe crossing,
especially with the steep incline of
the area. Also the left turn off College
onto S College is too narrow/sharp of
a turn for a lot of the larger vehicles
that take that route every day.

6/30/2020 01:52 PM planned in this picture. I am
particularly concerned about bicycle
paths. I see cyclists being stuck on
an "island" southwest of Rock St at
many times of day. Or having to
make unwieldy maneuvers (as with
many sidewalks in Fayetteville) which
seem to have been developed in the
belief that cyclists would get off their
bikes and walk through obstacle
courses designed with motor vehicles
foremost in mind. In some European
countries, motor vehicle traffic is
triggered to stop by approaching
cyclists who are min the bike path',
and with an appropriate amount of
time to do so. I would love to see this
implemented all over the city. I would
Page 37 of 253

further appreciate, as a cyclist, paths
that "flow" instead of sudden jags in
the path in different directions to
better accommodate motor vehicles.
As a motor vehicle driver, I have long
felt that this series of turns needed to
be slowed down because there are
some that see them as a chance to
play "NASCAR" or something. I'm
glad something is being considered
to remedy this, I just hope it is
equally fair to cyclists AS VEHICLES,
and doesn't see bicycle riders as a
leisure -activity afterthought to the
"serious business" of motor traffic.

two streets coming in perpendicular
to each other that close to each

Decreasing lanes will push more

right turn lane from N.B. Archibald
Yell to S.B. College Ave will be
difficult due to the terrain. The E.
Rock St part of the intersection will
not be much better. There is already
a sign on E. Rock St. prohibiting a
left hand turn to S.B. Archibald Yell

pedestrian crossing at this

of these ideas may work if this
intersection is signalized.

long that the traffic transforms to
single lane (on the right). Opening
the holler below to pedestrian traffic
would improve QoL for folks down
the hill; conversely, it may gentrify
the neighborhood by providing
uptown pedestrian access. You
would want to preserve the historic
black character of the neighborhood
in that case (murals? Historical
markers by the old church?) Also,
which came first -- the holler or the
Confederate cemetery? I wonder if
the cemetery came later to "show
who is in charge" and if so, we may
need to contextualize the cemetery
with, I don't know, another public
marker. But that is another kettle of

relative to the line of sight and
curvature of the road. Also I cross as
a pedestrian at that intersection
several times per week (pre virus)

accelerating trying to beat the red

Anonymous I like the lane reductions and

That's a dangerous nightmare and
there has to be a better solution
here. No left turn from 71 going north
onto Rock is annoying but I guess
that's probably unavoidable.

crossing is redundant and
inconvenient. I think it would be
better traffic -wise to have one that

Anonymous There will be major problems when
6/30/2020 09:58 PM vehicle traveling northbound along

cause a crash when said vehicle tries
to turn right onto East Rock and gets
hit by a car flying up College and not
slowing down because they have a
dedicated merge lane. This is the
biggest issue with this concept plan.

there which would help with both left
turns and right turns there. I don't like
the 3 lane idea.

going to make this safer? You might
make it 'safer' for pedestrians and
bikers but you're making it much
more dangerous and frustrating for
drivers. The only pedestrians I even
see around here are the homeless
people, and they're usually at the
corner of School and MLK, using the
stoplight and crosswalk to cross, as
they should. This project smells just

Anonymous I turn off College onto Rock or remain
7/02/2020 07:32 AM on College to get home from work or
to return from errands; I often find the
turn challenging because of the
speed of northbound commuters on
Yell OR because northbound
commuters at the stop sign on
College do not allow me the right of
way turning off College and instead
gun it to get onto northbound
College. The solution proposed
above adroitly eliminates both
concerns. Yes, it could create delays
at peak traffic times but those delays
currently exist and the proposal given
above creates more safety and
constrains traffic and hopefully
reduces speeds. I do want clear
marking at northbound College that
clarifies those turning off College
onto Rock have the right-of-way. I
also would like not just a zebra
pedestrian crossing but a lit crossing
that safely allows pedestrians to
cross College/Yell. There's no point
creating these changes if the
crossings remain perilous.
Anonymous I like the idea of the dedicated lanes

dangerous intersection because
people traveling south on College
turn on their blinker when they are
going to make a hard left on Rock
AND/OR if they are just veering to
the left to continue south on College.
This makes it super dangerous to
merge on to A.Y. if you are traveling
north up the hill on College. There is
also a significant blind spot if you are
traveling south on College due to the
curve of A.Y., you can't see whose
flying around that curve when you
are turning left, either to go on Rock
or College. I have to use that
intersection everyday and I am
certain one day I will be in an
accident there due to the two main
concerns listed above. Make a wider
sidewalk, that's fine. But this
intersection needs a light or needs to
not have the option to go left down
College. Close that street off to
southbound traffic from that

Entire intersection needs to be

signalized! The proposed left hand
turn lane on Southbound Yell to
Southbound College is too short,
coming after Southbound Yell to
Eastbound Rock left turn lane,
creating the same congestion issue
as is on Westbound Wedington west
of 1-49: Interstate entrance ramp left
turn/N. Shiloh Rd. left turn. Most of
the current unsafe conditions at
Yell/College/Rock can and should be
solved with traffic light signalization.
Without signalization at this 5-way
danger zone, pedestrian traffic will
still be/feel/look unsafe. Stop wasting
money on solutions that do not
prioritize signalization at this 5-way
confluence.
Anonymous It needs to have a traffic light! The
7/04/2020 02:31 PM proposed left hand turn lane from
College/Yell going to South College
is too short and will cause the type of
problems that happen at Wedington
and 1-49 (Interstate entrance ramp/N.
Shiloh Rd.), backing up traffic in the
passing right lane while waiting on
traffic to get into the proposed left
turning lane. I also think the
Northbound traffic on South College
will still have to dangerously look
over their shoulder for speeding
traffic coming north up Yell. And now
you all want to add pedestrians into
the mix?! Yes, pedestrians and
bicyclists need to be able to cross
Page 63 of 253
Archibald Yell Improvements Questionnaire : Survey Report for 08 August 2018 to 16 May 2021
there but there has to be a traffic
light to make this intersection safe.
Also in reference to #12, 1 have lived
on S Church St for 5 years and my
parents still live there. I have always
made a left turn heading Northbound
on Yell from South Street. This is a
very dangerous turn as there is a
blind spot to speeding Northbound
traffic on Yell. This forces the
majority of those neighborhoods to
go north though the square or
Dickson St, to use a traffic light
intersection to make a left. This
becomes more problematic when the
farmers market is open and there is
an increase of pedestrians and traffic
on Mountain and Center Street. So I
feel that a traffic light there is also for
the safety of traffic, not only
pedestrian safety. But if Yell is only 3
lanes and the light at that
intersection has no left hand turn
lane or a protect left hand turn signal,
it is likely that it will cause
congestion. For example, the
congestion on Northbound College at
the Center Street intersection, which
seemingly could be solved by the
Northbound traffic on College having
the green light for the first 20/30
seconds, for people to turn left onto
Center thus clear up congestion on
College. Thank you!

7/24/2020 10:20 AM unique to the downtown area and

though, i understand the reasoning
behind it, and as a lay person cannot
propose a better alternative.
Anonymous I have studied this intersection as
7/25/2020 08:38 PM part of projects before and have
looked at what might work. My
training is in landscape architecture
so I am familiar with some traffic best
practices. The road as it is is not
conducive to non-vehicukar traffic
and this design creates better flows
with reduced vehicular speeds.
Anonymous 1) There's no way to turn south from
7/29/2020 08:02 PM E Rock or from S College onto
Archibald Yell and no easy way to
proceed north then turn around to
head back south. It would greatly
increase traffic through the residential
areas south of Archibald Yell as
drivers try to figure out how to get to
MILK from the East side of AY. All
Page 68 of 253
Archibald Yell Improvements Questionnaire : Survey Report for 08 August 2018 to 16 May 2021
the one way streets around the
square further complicate the issue.
2) That proposed intersection area is
already a congested choke point and
if traffic is reduced to only two lanes
at that spot, Archibald Yell will back
up way north of the Square, probably
all the way up to Dickson or Lafayette
during rush hour, clogging up traffic
flow in the whole area. 3) AY is
MUCH too busy as a feeder street to
MLK then 1-49 to make it only two
lanes. I agree that something needs
to be done to help folks cross AY
safely and maybe just putting a
signal in somewhere in the curves
would help, but I think the best
solution is a pedestrian / bicycle
bridge or tunnel for the humans
outside of cars.

crossing to the cycle, if not the cycle
continues as normal. Having people
wait for a red light to cross would
allow a gap for not only pedestrians
but those merging up the hill from
college. Having pedestrians wait and
cross as a group would be safer
since it's a curve at the top of a hill
and a bit of a blind spot; people can
drive kinda recklessly around that
curve. Most people coming up
Archibald Yell accelerate by the B&B
and it makes me worry for anyone
who would cross without waiting for
the signal or hitting the button. It's
much more expensive, but digging a
pedestrian tunnel from college under

safe and allow access and could be
incorporated into future bike trail
expansions.

lights... Add early left turns & early
right turns (turns that happen before
the intersection), round-abouts, or if
the need is pedestrian, add a
signaled cross walk like on Old Wire
& a bit further south on 71 B where
the greenway trail crosses. People
run red lights, they slow down

through the crisis brewing parking lot.
I wish there would have been a

it's a spring or just an area where
water drains from up the hill, but this
needs to be addressed if you're
going to ask people to stop at a

Often times if I leave after 5:15 pm,
traffic from MLK gets backed up to
Arichbald Yell. If I try to go north,
traffic from Wedington gets backed
up all the way to College. I
understand how making this road 3

if it may help pedestrians. I do not

Many problems exist with this stretch
6/29/2020 02:32 PM
of road. The worst issue is the
inability to anticipate activities of
other drivers. When a vehicle is
northbound on college, and another
vehicle is westbound on Rock St.,
there is a lot of confusion. The
vehicles must watch each other and
4 lanes of traffic, particularly if either
driver is trying to cross all four lanes
to continue westbound on Rock St.
There are vehicles northbound on
college that try to turn left onto
college, while trying to gauge.
Another issue is the inability to turn
left onto Archibald Yell. Due to the
multiple lanes of traffic and
congestion on Martin Luther King,
anyone attempting to turn left
(headed north) onto Archibald Yell
will back traffic up and potentially
cause an accident.

You need to always be aware of who
is turning left or right as a car can
come to a halt suddenly. You also
need to be aware if you're the car
turning as the driver behind you
might not be paying attention! Having
a designated turning lane will only
benefit the street.

I hit the curb too much when going

lane. It's also frustrating when you
Page 132 of 253

are trying to come down the hill and
people don't use their turn signals
and suddenly stop to turn onto Rock.
Anonymous Speed. Cruves are sharp. To much
side by side traffic. Having at stop for
vehiles turning left or right in the
middle section of this road.
Anonymous I must admit it is hard not to fly down
that hill as if you're on a carnival ride,
especially after making it through the
gauntlet of traffic lights (timed or not)
on College. I try to avoid high -traffic
times but still find it nerve wracking
going down that hill if there is a
vehicle on my tail or right beside me.
There's no room for error should
someone have a tire blow out or
otherwise lose control of vehicle.
Alternatively, I often (not during
heavy library construction however!)
turn left from northbound AY to get
onto northbound School St. and
navigating across the swarm of mad
hornets zooming down AY can be
challenging. I have not experienced
the same sense of danger when
going uphill northbound on AY --
though one can get their slalom on
pretty good. I suspect taking away
the option of lane switching to
straighten the path (guilty as
charged!) by making it 3 lane with
center for turns only, WELL
MARKED WITH STRIPING AND
ARROWS ETC!! will cause traffic to
slow down in both directions.
Remove lane changing and passing,
then add a crosswalk --these are all
things that require more immediate
attention by the motorist to stay in his
lane and behave. This means less
temptation to cut loose and fly down
(or charge up) that hill. This makes it
more safe for everyone, but slightly
less fun (boo hoo) for the motorist
seeking an adrenalin hit.

Anonymous I would turn left onto South to get to

car behind me would be paying
attention enough to not run into the
back of my vehicle. With the high
speeds that drivers use going
through that intersection, I am
honestly surprised there haven't been
more accidents. Also, from my front
porch, I have seen many accidents
as people travel the curves going
north. I think people don't anticipate
the angle and slow down just a little. I
have also seen people cross the
double lines around the curves
because they are going to fast.
Anonymous Aggressive braking and acceleration
leads to having to rapidly change
lanes.
Anonymous There needs to be a light. It's a very
dangerous intersection because
people traveling south on College
turn on their blinker when they are
going to make a hard left on Rock
AND/OR if they are just veering to
the left to continue south on College.
This makes it super dangerous to
merge on to A.Y. if you are traveling
north up the hill on College. There is
also a significant blind spot if you are
traveling south on College due to the

are turning left, either to go on Rock
or College. I have to use that
intersection everyday and I am
certain one day I will be in an
accident there due to the two main
concerns listed above. Make a wider
sidewalk, that's fine. But this
intersection needs a light or needs to
not have the option to go left down
College. Close that street off to
southbound traffic from that
intersection if you want to decrease
driving lanes and add pedestrian
lanes. A light is what is needed here.

Anonymous I wouldn't change anything. All of
these ideas are awful. You shouldn't
reduce lanes on a congested road
that is only going to get busier, just
like you shouldn't have narrowed
College Ave to put in trees on the
sides. This narrow road is difficult to

make Archibald Yell Blvd worse.

Anonymous See above. tl;dr: 4-way stoplight at
6/29/2020 07:29 PM AY and Rock. COPIED: There are a
number of issues with this proposal.
The ONLY way to effective mitigate
this intersection is a stop light. You
should remove the light at Mountain
Street to maintain better flow. 1) The
placement of crosswalks at nearly
the top and the top of Archibald Yell
(AY) is EXTREMELY dangerous.
There is very little foot traffic here to
begin with, and without a stop light,
this would just add to the confusion
and danger for pedestrians. 2) There
is no need need for a dedicated right -
turn lane from northbound AY onto
southbound S. College Ave. If people
want that stretch of road, they may
and do continue eastbound on MILK
and turn right onto that stretch of S.
College. That should be NO right -
turn, if anything. Then you could
effectively make that section of S.
School ONE-WAY ONLY,
northbound. That would make the
intersection a 4-way with AY and
Rock in both directions. People
northbound on AY could make a right
turn on Rock or continue straight.
People on Rock could effectively
then be allowed to travel in both
directions. AFTER that intersection,
heading north on College is where
the road should be reduced to three
lanes, with a dedicated center turn
lane.

6/30/2020 10:55 AM & use the excess space for a
pedestrian/bike friendly path with a
separation barrier between the
pedestrian & the vehicles. The
current sidewalk isn't sufficient
enough & I can tell you right now that
a minimal number of people use it (I
live on South Street). Currently, if I
do spot a pedestrian on the sidewalk,
I also make sure to switch lanes so
I'm not driving right next to them. I
would make sure to have pedestrian
stop signs at all street crossings (e.g.
Penguin Ed's) to halt the pedestrian
while ensuring the vehicle traffic on
Archibald Yell continues. The
concrete barrier north of the street
plus the presence of the vehicles
doesn't create a pleasant experience
for anyone traveling by foot/bike.
Covering that in some sort of noise
reducer (like ivy or some sort of art
project) would be beneficial. Also, I
Page 178 of 253
Archibald Yell Improvements Questionnaire : Survey Report for 08 August 2018 to 16 May 2021
ask that the city of Fayetteville
discuss the future of the car lot right
off of Locust Street/Archibald Yell
(across from NAPA) as it proves
difficult for cars turning right onto
Archibald Yell. I can't see incoming
traffic when turning from that street.
Please consider addressing the lanes
on College Ave in the downtown area

designated turn lane causes traffic
congestion. Thanks y'all. I appreciate

Anonymous I think when you are going south on

"right turn only" lane, that way the

Anonymous Unforutatly not
Anonymous Myself included, we all must slow
down on that tempting curly-q hill. If
taking away one lane will help, I'm all
for it. However, this makes 4 lanes of
traffic on traffic -light -rich, straight -
and -mostly -level College squeeze
down to 2 lanes of steep and twisty,
with a turn lane between them. If
only one lane continues south from
Rock down the hill, traffic could pile
up in that right hand lane in
southbound College during high
traffic times. I have not seen traffic
pile up the same way going north on
AY --but I do not drive this route
during rush hour. Adding an on -
demand crosswalk at South would
certainly help make this part of town
more walkable. Just the presence of
a crosswalk, even if it's not occupied,
might cause drivers to slow down a
bit as it shifts the psychology of this

Yell itself, I'm strongly in favor of
reducing to 3 lanes, as well as other
traffic -calming design --including
street trees, tightening the radius of
curves, and narrowing the lanes. I'd
encourage a less -is -more approach
to the designs. Rather than adding
tons of bulky hardscaping like the
recent redesign of Old Wire, keep
the edges simpler and more
adaptable as uses and needs evolve.
(For example, on -street parking is
probably not a need now, but if more
development occurs we probably will
want to add it, rather than
encouraging more strip mall -style
lots.)

extraordinarily steep there and no

had to. I do not see the need to go to
the trouble of doing more than I
suggested before under question 17.

6/29/2020 05:45 PM Fayetteville from the square. Is a
safety nightmare for all modes of
travel. The sidewalk between a high
retaining wall and four lanes of traffic
seems like a death wish. One nice
separated multi use trail with street
trees seems better than two bad
sidewalks. Even with an on street
bike lane, I've seen so many drivers
swerve on the curves out of their
lanes I wouldn't feel safe riding on a
bike lane in the road surface.

I have lived in south Fayetteville for

have rarely seen accidents on the

desperately needed.
Anonymous
Several different situations where it's
challenging to tell what a drive is
going to do (driving south on College
and turning left on College or Rock).
High speed variability and winding
roads. A lack of a dedicated left turn
lane going south causes quick traffic
build-ups, either backing up into the
intersection at Mountain, or causing
cars wanting to go down Archibald
Yell haphazardly changing to the
right lane. As a pedestrian, I never
feel like drivers see me when
crossing Rock St going north,
meaning I wait for a total gap in
traffic to cross, which can be
frustrating at times.

found that the Fayetteville courthouse
bike racks were at the extreme
outskirts of the parking lot, and not
within sight -lines or outdoor camera

around town, it is flimsy. If this city

these things need to be addressed.

nice (similar to what we've done
further up on College). The proposed
solutions don't seem to fix the
problem of getting across it. What's
needed is signalized crossings where
people are actually needing to cross
to get to/from downtown (which
would be best located at Block

people turning left onto College in the

Reducing lanes is a bad idea. That
road has too much traffic to reduce
the number of lanes. Fayetteville has
a higher population than ever before
- and that area is somewhat growing.
Why reduce the number of lanes?
There is little bike or pedestrian
traffic through there. You've already
made this mistake on Rolling Hills.
Don't cater to bike or pedestrian
traffic that isn't even there. There are
FAR more cars than bikes or
pedestrians in this area

Anonymous It is far too congested and too many
7/11/2020 06:09 PM spots are just accidents waiting to
happen. On Game days, the traffic is
horrendous there. It really isn't fair to
those of us living in that area. We
are stuck on every side during game
day traffic. If we had a heart attack I
think we would die waiting for an
ambulance on those days.
Anonymous It's still feels more like a highway
rather than an avenue through the
downtown area. It cuts off south
Fayetteville from downtown with fast
traffic that expects to slow little for
pedestrians.

concern about the proposed changes
to this road is that the city may forget
that this is a direct route to 1-49 for a
very large portion of Fayetteville
residents. And while walk ability and
bike ability are popular buzz terms in

modern urban planning, the fact
remains that cars are the major
mode of transportation in
Fayetteville. We really need to keep
the N College Ave / Archibald Yell / S
School / MLK Blvd corridor motor
vehicle friendly to facilitate overall
traffic flow now and into the future.
Anonymous Drivers ignoring speed limits/speed
8/07/2020 01:49 PM limit too high with limited visibility
around corners puts slowing or
turning drivers in danger.
Anonymous Lanes are way too narrow with the
8/11/2020 10:38 AM curves & hill. Zero facilities for
pedestrians or bikers. The only
pedestrian/bike access without
massive hill climbs is inconvenient -
down at the WAC parking lot.
Anonymous my concerns are more with the
8/13/2020 04:02 PM published plan than the current
design. The plan will reduce safety
and increase congestion.
Anonymous Accidents from people sliding into

conditions.
Anonymous It's am unsafe road. Especially for
8/16/2020 07:01 PM pedestrians and bikers. South Fay
seems so disconnected from all the
amazing things that make Downtown
Fay, downtown Fay. I believe it
restricts many people from enjoying
the city and having access to "this
side" of Archibald Yell. I'm fortunate
to have a vehicle that takes me to
and from Walker Park, downtown,
and all over. I would ride my bike or
walk that area every day if it was
more accessible.
Anonymous Adding a middle turn lane would
9/21/2020 04:29 PM greatly help the flow of traffic in my
opinion

Anonymous I think this will improve safety of the
12/15/2020 05:38 AM intersection for vehicles as well as
pedestrians.
Anonymous 1. prevents the "lane jumping" people
12/16/2020 03:32 PM try to do when they try to avoid
someone stopped and trying to turn
left or when they try to avoid
someone slowing down to turn right
2. Having a turn lane for people
turning on to East Rock or going
down College - this is much better
than just being parked in a driving
lane 3. Looks like there is a little bit
of a shoulder for people turning right
on to Rock when southbound - I wish
we had this now 4. Definitely agree
with the no left turn areas (east Rock
and S College) 5. New Crosswalk
across Rock is great! This area is a
SUCH a mess right now, literally any
changes you make would be an
improvement. There are way too
many vehicles trying to go too many
directions right now.
Anonymous I love this plan! My only concern is
that the southbound left hand turn
lane onto College may end up with
multiple cars sitting in the turn lane
and extending into the Rock St. turn
lane, which may cause some
confusion. But Im sure you
tested/assessed this, so overall I
think its an excellent solution.
Anonymous That intersection is crazy and
12/17/2020 01:42 PM dangerous. Anything to reduce trying
to turn left from College or Rock is
helpful.
Anonymous That intersection holds up traffic and
is pretty unsafe. I think this will be a
big improvement

Anonymous I like the islands. I think it was an
12/17/2020 05:24 PM excellent idea to put the bike lane on
the uphill side of AY. Improves safety
and visibility in multiple ways
Anonymous We live right near the intersection of
12/19/2020 08:12 PM Prairie and Archibald Yell and have
almost gotten into multiple accidents
turning onto Archibald Yell and have
witnessed multiple accidents here.
This seems like a positive step in the
right direction.
Anonymous I live at that intersection and I have
been in the area for forty years and I
have seen alot of accidents at the
intersection of the streets mentioned
here. It will slow the southbound
traffic downl enough to make it
easier for the on coming traffic to
know what the south bound traffic is
doing
Anonymous I really like allowing almost all the
same flow as there is today. I only
see one "no left turn" sign. I think this
intersection needs to keep allowing
good flow and not block off any of it.
The pedestrian crossings look terrific.
I have lived 3 blocks away for 16
years and I have taken my life in my
hands to try to cross here on foot!
Great design. I do think a big
roundabout might be worth a look
though. A rollover type I think would
work great like the 2 new ones just
east of Bud Walton arena.
Anonymous I use that intersection daily this would
make it much safer
Anonymous I walk to town almost every day and
12/21/2020 11:38 AM cross either at College and Rock or
South and Archibald Yell. The
proposed plan looks a lot safer!
Anonymous This intersection currently is unsafe
12/21/2020 09:29 PM and needs to be changed. North
bound Rock St should be a right turn

only and south bound should be a
right turn only onto Archibald Yell.

thing as well, though of course y'all

best.

Anonymous Living right off of archibald yell is
currently problematic as walking and
biking are not easily accessible. Thus
mitigating many benefits of living so
close to down town Fayetteville.
Anonymous I don't see the need to change the
12/26/2020 08:18 AM configuration in the first place.
However, the plan will reduce
speeders and dangerous passing.
Anonymous Need easier merging into archibald
yell, headed northbound, and safety
to turn southbound onto college.
Seems a better fit.
Anonymous You guys are always adding islands
12/29/2020 07:22 PM and dividers. It makes things
confusing and expensive.
Anonymous I travel back and forth from my home
on dead horse mountain road to the
VA hospital daily using this route.
This seems perfect for the
intersection, however. I'm just worried
with the amount of traffic coming
from Archibald yell to college. If i
need to turn from college to college,
will I ever have the chance or will I
have to sit there forever waiting in
the large amount of traffic to pass. I
think Archibald yell needs to be
widened, not narrowed.
Anonymous
I support street design changes that
Page 10 of 56
Questionnaire #2: Archibald Yell Improvements Update : Survey Report for 08 August 2018 to 16 May 2021
slow traffic and thereby improve
safety for drivers, walkers and
cyclists. These include narrower
lanes, fewer lanes, and advantaging
the pedestrian and cyclist over the
driver.
Anonymous I walk though this intersection
frequently and it's a game of chicken
every time because of the inherent
ambiguity and driver focus on
oncoming traffic rather than
pedestrians. Clearly splitting out the
conflicts and making everything
unambiguous is essential and this
proposal does that
Anonymous Currently, cars southbound with a
12/29/2020 07:50 PM turn signal on can either be going on
Rock street or College Ave.
Separating this will definitely improve
the intersection.
Anonymous I drive a bus through that intersection
12/29/2020 08:41 PM every week day. Traffic will be
bumper to bumper with only one
lane. The intersections will be too
narrow. The Rock St change isn't
bad and would allow pedestrians to
walk up to already existing college
crossings. I believe when you narrow
Archibald, you will push more traffic
onto secondary streets.
Anonymous The intersection is dangerous as -is.
Any safety improvements are
welcome.
Anonymous Having medians in the road is a bad
idea. Look how many cars are
damaged yearly on 71 and Dickson.
Especially during bad weather when
they are hard to see. Like snow
gathered on top of them.

Rock. Otherwise it looks like crossing
here will still be practically
impossible.
Anonymous Street parking is needed

Anonymous I'm not convince the crossing of
Archibald Yell is the best location,
also are additional crossing
enhancements being considered?
Raised crossing, RRFBs/HAWK,
would like to see a ped refuge island
for those willing to cross here.
Anonymous I drive this intersection daily.
12/30/2020 08:06 AM restructuring the left turn will only
have cars backed up, especially
during heavy traffic times....
Anonymous It seems like there's some
12/30/2020 08:07 AM crosswalks that are in areas that are
blind to traffic due to the curve and
elevation of the road.
Anonymous Plan too complex. Forces North turn
12/30/2020 08:22 AM on Westbound lane of Rock on East

Yell to get from my home to

dangerous as it is now and feel any
plan to improve the street for foot
traffic is a great step in the right
direction. I think a pedestrian bridge
over Archibald Yell would be the
safest solution.
Anonymous I'm not sure this really
accommodates the steep grade of
Rock Ave, and shouldn't keep a
sidewalk at back of curb anywhere.
Retaining walls and safe sidewalks
must be done right for the investment
to make sense now.
Anonymous I think that the creation of the
1/01/2021 03:39 PM pedestrian island across Rock St and
the cutout for the cars making right
turns coming up Rock is a bit much;
I'd prefer a design that still restricts
traffic to a right turn only but
eliminates the island and reduces
pedestrian distance to cross the
street.
Anonymous The turning lane will help to remove a
blocked lane from turning vehicles,
but it won't matter if you reduce
traffic flow to one lane each direction.
Traffic will still be heavy even with
turning traffic removed from turning
left off Archibald. It appears to be a
whole lot of changes just to end up
with basically the same result.
Anonymous We need to keep cyclists and
1/07/2021 11 :29 AM pedestrians away from traffic. I feel
reduced lanes will cause a
continuous line of traffic in both

directions making it impossible to use
the dedicated turn lane.
Anonymous This intersection is dangerous and I
think this will make it a lot safer for
drivers and pedestrians. The distinct
lanes and protected turn lane will
help a lot. It may cause more traffic
but it will be less dangerous.
Anonymous I think a light would improve it, to
reduce issues with getting on and off

The road is too curvy for 4 lanes
Anonymous Road diets are great for traffic
1/07/2021 11 :52 AM calming, and installing a center lane
should minimize rear end collisions
associated with left turning/exiting
vehicles.
Anonymous Given the amount of traffic that
utilizes this intersection reducing
lanes is not appropriate and will
result in higher levels of accidents
and poor decision making on the part
of drivers
Anonymous I think it will slow traffic down.
1/07/2021 12:02 PM Reducing number of lanes will slow
down traffic.

and rock. It doesn't look safe.
Anonymous The problem remains there are to
1/07/2021 12:21 PM many streets that are to close
together. Cutting down the number of
lanes is not good. Like it or not this is

lot of guesswork for motorists
heading north on College. I think it
improves safety for all including
pedestrians.
Anonymous I feel the center turn lane will make it
1/07/2021 01:58 PM safer, but the tradeoff is potentially
slowing traffic due to one lane only
either direction.
Anonymous This will divert additional traffic into
1/07/2021 02:13 PM the neighborhood surface streets,
back up traffic causing less spacing
between vehicles and longer lines of
stopped vehicles with poor visibility
Anonymous Because you are removing traffic
1/07/2021 02:27 PM lanes for automobiles. People drive
on this road. A lot of people.
Anonymous Just take a look at it.
Anonymous The road diet is going to create a

accidents as people try to get over. I
turn down Rick or Follege all the

Anonymous Less lanes can't possibly be helpful
Anonymous I don't understand how reducing the

increase traffic congestion. Have you
ever been in the area of school and
MLK during rush hour?!
Anonymous The relative wisdom of this design
hinges on whether Archibald Yell is
cut down to a single lane in the first
place. Show me a revised
intersection plan with two lanes in
each direction and I will be able to
answer this question more accurately
Anonymous This will be confusing for drivers and
pedestrians and is not a good
solution for this area.

bound traffic coming from scollege. I
am concerned the turn lane heading
southbound onto s college will get
backed up
Anonymous This is how the intersection already

vehicles to run into.
Anonymous I think improvements need to be

are dangerous
Anonymous This design helps make it clear who

intersection
Anonymous I like the ped safety
Anonymous Reducing lanes will create fewer
avenues for cars obviously. Better
warning signage about left turning
would be safer. The bottlenecks
created by forcing lanes from 4 to 3
will be more dangerous than the
solution proposed.
Anonymous This is a street designed for
1/08/2021 08:32 AM automobiles. We have many miles of
trails that do not allow automobiles
and I don't think we should overtake
streets to give to pedestrians.
Anonymous I don't think this Is much of a
problem
Anonymous I can see positives and negatives to
this plan. I agree there should be a
turning lane although most vehicles
turning from the south seem to be
police cars going to the station. Since
plans are for moving the station, this
may not be a concern later. I plan my
routes so I don't have to be in
dangerous spots.

Anonymous From a motorist's standpoint I do not
1/08/2021 12:36 PM see eliminating two lane will increase
traffic flow. People are very time
conscience therefore they will
become very frustrated with the
congestion.
Anonymous The way it is currently is dangerous
1/08/2021 02:29 PM in my opinion. The way all the roads
go in different directions is a horrible
design.
Anonymous As Fayetteville grows the traffic
carried by the former 71-B corredor
will increase yet the City is intending
to eliminate nearly half of the traffic
carrying capacity of those streets. It
may not be too bad for a while, but
over time it will give us increasingly
congested roadways. Congested
roadways result in more traffic
accidents, greater polution, and a
less desirable lifestyle. With only one
lane in each direction, traffic will
come to a halt whenever a bus stops
leading to rear -end accidents and a
riskier situation for passengers.
South Fayetteville will not be able to
undo this mistake once it happens as
new construction will make acquiring
any additional property too
expensive. Having a center turn lane
is the only good part of this idea.
Visualize all of today's vehicles in
one of the existing lanes instead of
spread out over the two and you get
an idea of the immediate impact.
Now use your imagination and
visualize what that will be like in 5-
10-20 years. Choosing to create
tomorrow's traffic jam.

that intersection
Anonymous I'm sure this is a fine solution that will
help solve some of the issues. In
particular, the dedicated left turn
lanes on southbound College are
very needed. The crossings and
pedestrian access are better than the
current condition, but aren't great --
pretty circuitous and indirect. The
wide swooping turns are bad for
safety and unnecessary (especially
the right turn from westbound Rock
onto College). Reduce all the turn
radii significantly to calm traffic and
make pedestrian traffic safer and
more direct.
Anonymous We need to expect a population
explosion in NW Arkansas and be
ready for the next decade. We are
building houses in South Fayetteville.
Most residents will need to drive
safety to get to work. It is insane to
behave as if everyone can bike or
ride a bus.
Anonymous This will slow traffic and increase
1/10/2021 06:37 AM congestion. It is already so
dangerous as it is, and I don't see
decreased lanes as an improvement.
Anonymous Anything is better.
1/10/2021 08:56 PM
Anonymous Reducing lanes will cause MAJOR
traffic congestion, which in turn will
lead to more distracted, upset
drivers, which in turn endangers
pedestrians and bicycles alike. It
needs to stay four lanes and actually
be widened to accommodate a turn
lane as well.
Anonymous Could the intersection be designed to
1/11/2021 08:54 AM be more compact?
Page 19 of 56
Questionnaire #2: Archibald Yell Improvements Update : Survey Report for 08 August 2018 to 16 May 2021
Anonymous There are multiple streets to turn
right on. I think we could see quite a
few cars being rear -ended going
south. I am also concerned on how
backed up the south bound lane at
MLK will be since the right lane
currently has +/- 10 cars waiting to
turn right at the light most times.
Anonymous I am not in favor of reducing the
1/11/2021 09:13 AM lanes to just three. The continuous
turning lane is a great solution but not
if that removes two other lanes of

Reducing the AY to two active lanes

Anonymous Squeezing down traffic that is 4-5
lanes on either side of a stretch of

congestion. Coming from the North
end, there are already many lights
right in a row, that makes it hard to
merge in such a short time unless
you want to merge into the right lane

Anonymous If the desire is to create a more
pedestrian friendly area, it needs to
be done without hindering the flow of

Traffic could be reduced southbound
on Archibald Yell if you designed a
right turn only lane onto MLK Blvd
that did not need to stop at the

currently that demand appears to be
substantially lower than the need to
fix the current traffic congestion in the

Anonymous I wish the connection with south
college could somehow go away and
be re-routed. This intersection feels
like a tangled knot every time I go
through it. Southbound is worse than
Northbound. Generally, if we could
have fewer roads pouring into the
main road right there, it would really
help.

Anonymous Id require the city to maintain the
12/17/2020 05:24 PM parts of it that they own. Grass
mowing, tree trimming and invasive
plant removal. I'd offer adjacent
property owners some incentive to do
this if the city is financially unable to
do it themselves. I'm not sure how
many low income household are left
on our Corridor but I do know how
expensive tree and yardwork is.
Maybe a grant and a neighborhood
cleanup in the spring specifically for
AY. Free replacement plantings of
more desirable flora. I'm dreaming of
course!
Anonymous Turning out of the parking lot from
12/19/2020 08:12 PM the Mill Building to go north on
Archibald Yell is very accident prone.
Hopefully this plan will slow down
southbound traffic and help with that
a bit. Also, it gets very backed up at
MLK and S. School during rush hour
(before coronavirus), so much so that
you cannot even turn left out of
Prairie St. onto Archibald Yell. This
makes it even more difficult to turn
out of the Mill Building parking lot
(where the new Arsaga's is).
Hopefully this will improve that
situation somewhat, but it would be
nice if this turn issue could be
addressed in some way.
Anonymous Sidewalk on south side, street
12/20/2020 10:52 PM lights!!! So dark for such a prominent

The south street intersection
Page 40 of 56
Questionnaire #2: Archibald Yell Improvements Update : Survey Report for 08 August 2018 to 16 May 2021
improvements showthe south side of
south street as "joining" an existing
sidewalk on south street. There is no
sidewalk there. It is a concrete
drainage "kick over " flume. We need
a real sidewalk here. Can't be 100'
long so not a huge budget destroyer.
We all jump up on it when cars come
flying off AY so it's needed. But we
jump up on the concrete drainage
flume and that's jank. Also: where
are the traffic light "warning" signals
for AY and South new signal? Like
the curve signals at Hwy 16 and
Huntsville signal? Folks need a
warning approaching this new signal
due to the AY curve. One dangerous
thing in this design is the r-turn yield
north -bound turning r as west -bound
folks enter AY. We cannot see any
oncoming cars due to the topography
here. ( I turn R here several tunes a
day) be sure to paint the stop bar for
the westbound driver far back so the
guy to the right of him, trying to go R
on AY, doesn't get smacked. All of us
neighbors have experienced this so
we can all vouch for the odd
topography/ curve in AY that makes
this real.

Besides the safety improvements

already proposed I think aesthetics
and Landscaping should be improved
so that it matches the feel of the
sections further north on college. This
section in particular has a great
potential to be a sort of winding
'Boulevard into Fayetteville' and such
improvements would also help
stimulate private investment along
the corridor, which would help further
connect the south side to downtown
Fayetteville. There seems to be
plenty of infill opportunity, places for
new retail businesses, apartments
etc.

MEETING OF JUNE 15, 2021
TO: Mayor and City Council
CITY COUNCIL MEMO
THRU: Susan Norton, Chief of Staff
Chris Brown, Public Works Director/City Engineer
FROM: Paul Libertini, Staff Enginee�pe
DATE: May 26, 2021
SUBJECT: A Resolution expressing the willingness of the City of Fayetteville to
submit an application for FFY 2022 Federal -aid funds for two road
improvements projects
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff requests approval of a resolution expressing the willingness of the City of Fayetteville to
apply for Federal -aid funds and allow staff to submit an application for an 80% federal / 20%
local matching grant through the Northwest Arkansas Regional Planning Commission - Surface
Transportation Block Grant Program — Attributable (STBGP-A) in the amount of $7.5 million for
Job 040846 — Hwy 62 Interchange Improvements project, and the College Ave Corridor
Improvements project.
BACKGROUND:
Federal -aid Surface Transportation Block Grant Program -Attributable (STBGP-A) funds are now
available to Northwest Arkansas after the Census Bureau determined the urbanized population
to be over 200,000 and the FHWA designated Northwest Arkansas as a Transportation
Management Area (TMA). In becoming a TMA, the Northwest Arkansas Regional Planning
Commission, of which Fayetteville is a member, will have STBGP-A discretionary funding
available at approximately $7M per year. Under current legislation, these STBGP-A funds can
be utilized for all permitted transportation projects at the discretion of the TMA Policy
Committee.
DISCUSSION:
The Northwest Arkansas Regional Planning Commission (NWARPC), serving as the NWA
Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), is accepting applications for FFY 2022 funding.
Both referenced projects have been in the project development phase over the last couple of
years.
Hwy 62 Interchange
The Hwy 62 Interchange improvements planned by ARDOT (Arkansas Department of
Transportation) include the design of a S.P.U.I. (Single Point Urban Interchange) which creates
access issues for adjacent businesses. To mitigate these conflicts, staff has developed a
modified design.
Mailing Address:
113 W. Mountain Street www.fayetteville-ar.gov
Fayetteville, AR 72701
At the request of the City, the ARDOT revised the design of the Hwy 62 Interchange. City
Council approved Resolution 298-20 expressing their intent to partner with the ARDOT to
complete the interchange project with the addition of the 15th Street Overpass at an additional
estimated cost to the City of $1.4 million. ARDOT is reviewing the projected costs and has
indicated that the City share may increase due to various factors. Therefore, the City will be
requesting $3.0 million in federal funding.
College Avenue (North St. to Township St.)
City Council approved Resolution 218-19 which expresses the City's willingness to partner with
ARDOT for the Hwy 112 Improvements project and the Hwy 71 B Improvements project. The
ARDOT dedicated $1.5 million to the City for improvements along the College Avenue (North St.
to Township St.) corridor. Garver Engineers have completed a study of proposed improvements
to the College Avenue corridor and it is time to move into the design phase and then into
construction. Improvements from North Street to Township Street are estimated to cost $12.5
million. The amount of federal funding available to each City is limited by the Regional Planning
Commission policies. Therefore, staff will apply for a grant of $3.0 million for FFY 2022, but the
City will have the opportunity to apply for additional funds in future years.
At this time, a City Council resolution expressing the willingness of the City to utilize Federal -aid
funds, to provide matching local funds, and to authorize the Mayor to execute all appropriate
agreements is needed.
BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT:
If the grant is approved, based on the request of $7.5 million, the Federal -aid portion will be $6.0
million (80%), the City's portion will be $1.5 million (20%). These numbers are subject to
change as the project is developed and more detailed estimates are provided. The Federal
portion will be paid from the Surface Transportation Block Grant Program - Attributable
(STBGP-A) funds. City funds will be paid from the Transportation Bond Program.

PROGRAMMING THE STREET: SOUTH SCHOOL & COLLEGE AVENUES
STAKEHOLDER MEETINGS
After meeting with City staff the RDG/Garver team conducted stakeholder
interviews with property owners along the corridor. The interviews included:
1. Review by the team of overarching concepts from the master planning phase
2. Introduction of the current project.
3. Consultation with stakeholders of potential program ideas for the streetscape
project. See list at the end of this document.
4. Addressing and receiving input on a variety of issues including shared
access, parking consolidation, amenities, outdoor dining spaces, and theming
opportunities.
Stakeholders also provided information on their current parking, access and other
issues presented by the current street configurations. In general, stakeholders
were positive about the project and supported improvements to the street and
sidewalk environments. Some key takeaways from the stakeholder meetings are
listed below:
COLLEGE AVENUE
• Walkability and micro -mobility should be the priority
• Currently College prevents pulling any bike/ped/scooter traffic from the east to
the Woodland Junior High School.
• Dr. Slocum of Fayetteville Public Schools would prefer a trail and bicycle access
on the south side of the track if possible to a Poplar alignment. School district is
interested in providing a trail easement over that part of its property.
• The new streetscape should provide a safer place for walking and add more public
transportation amenity
• Questions about location and overall use of medians
• Safety concerns for pedestrians crossing from the VA at Memorial Drive to Evelyn
Hills Shopping Center. Concerns over short pedestrian signal cycles and visibility
• General concerns regarding the timing of the light at E Memorial Drive and College
• Concerned about and general opposition to zoning changes
• Overarching issue of College Avenue infrastructure. Necessary repairs or
replacement of water lines should be coordinated with the streetscape project.
• Both interest and skepticism regarding branding that corridor of College
• The design should be flexible.
• Support for flexible outdoor seating, with special interest in one centralized larger
area. Could also be a series of outdoor spaces.
• Considerable sign pollution
• Relocate overhead wires as feasible
• Need to develop ideas to encourage easy pedestrian access between businesses
• Dickson Street and entertainment district have traditionally been the focus of
branding. It would be wonderful to have some focus on branding/beautification
in this part of town. The area has been called Midtown in the past- not sure if
that is a good branding or not. Would be great to have nice lights and decorative
street banners as well as larger investment/draw to the area
• This area is an emerging district
• Maintaining accessibility during construction is very important
• Connect a drive from Green Acres to College Avenue along Colt Drive
or north of Mermaids
• Desire for an area for community style outdoor seating
• Fewer driveways/curb cuts would improve trafficflow and safety
• Enhance lighting along College Avenue
SOUTH SCHOOL AVENUE
• Do not change access
• The apartments planned for South Yard anticipates future on -street parking
• Poor lighting is an issue on this street
• Intersection of 11th and South School is crash -prone
• Cars run into the tree at the Farmer's Table with some frequency
• Look for opportunities for interfaces between bike/micro mobility network.
• ORT is not married to specific bus stop locations. Open to shifting things - but
major boarding points are Seven Hills, the Research Park, and major intersections.
A transit center with turnaround loop is desirable.
• Ozark Regional Transit would determine bus stop design. Far side installation is
safest
• Build in flexibility for evolution to BRT. Eugene, OR is an example of such an
evolution
• South School Corridor -specific
• Any on -street bike facility should be carefully coordinated for safe operation with
buses
• Preference for a multi -use a side path if possible - but open to the idea of either
protected directional bike lanes or two-way cycle track on one side
• This could be the beginning of a more regional vision that extends the bike
infrastructure to West Fork and Greenland

INTEGRATING ART ALONG THE CORRIDOR
The 71B corridor master plan discussed the proven role that public art can play in
creating meaningful places along the street. Consequently, it should be a major
part of the 71B development program. Potential art installations along the South
School and College Avenue streetscapes include:
• District gateways. These define the edges and themes of identifiable districts
along the street, such as the University of Arkansas research campus and the
emerging Mill District along South School and the Restaurant District along
College north of Township. Integrated public art could be used to reflect local
history, bring attention to specific sites and highlight local artists.
Bus shelters. At special intersections such as transit stops, art and function can
be combined with thematically designed shelters.
• Pedestrian and Trail crossings. Major pedestrian intersections such as
the Greenway and Town Branch Trail crossings can be marked by placemaking
elements that also increase safety and visibility. Similar treatments can be used to
enhance safety at defined pedestrian crossings away from street intersections.
• Open spaces such as those envisioned with a redesign of the Green Acres
drive intersection, the gathering space at Poplar and College Avenue provide
possibilities for major art installations.

STORMWATER MANAGEMENT BMP'S
There will be opportunities along the corridors to incorporate stormwater management best management practices (BMP's).
BMPS are structural, vegetative or managerial practices used to treat, prevent or reduce water pollution. This adds another
layer of sustainability to the corridor. Some of the BMP's would include bioretention gardens, raingardens, porous pavements
or water quality inlets.
GATHERING SPACES AND TRAILHEADS
There may be an opportunity to create gathering spaces and a trail head at the Poplar and College Avenue intersection. The
gathering space could serve as an area for people to bring there take out meals from the restaurant district or serve as a space
for community or district events. The trailhead would be associated with the proposed Sublett creek trail. This would include
a parking lot and open space with picnic tables, benches and other amenities. The gathering space and trail head would also
be areas to incorporate public art.

SOUTH SCHOOL AVENUE - PARKING
The illustration above shows the buffer modified to provide on -street parking. This section pertains to areas with
demonstrated demand for on -street parking. The wider buffer can be modified over time to provide on -street parking
that supports future rredevelopment projects.
SOUTH SCHOOL AVENUE - TYPICAL SECTION
The desirable typical section provides a three -lane section with two-way protected cycle track on the west side, separated
by a buffer delineated with surface mounted rumble strips and raised pavement markers, consistemnt with the treatment
planned for Archibald Yell. The buffer ranges from 4' to 14' with the ability to accommodate on -street parking where the
demand exists. Sidewalk with is 5' minimum (6' preferred), set back 5 to 6' from the back of curb.
SOUTH SCHOOL AVENUE - CONSTRAINED SECTION
In some sections, a constrained right of way or topography makes a sidewalk setback difficult. In these situations, a back of
curb sidewalk is most acceptable adjacent to the cycle track. Other options include adjustment of the curb line with reduction
of the buffer between the cycletrack and travel lanes; or acquisition of a strip of right of way to permit a sidewalk setback.

Traffic Report
southern limits are at Cato Springs Road. Many routes within the study area were analyzed. MILK Jr
Boulevard serves as a major commuter corridor with many low -density commercial businesses and mixed
low and high density residential nearby.
The University of Arkansas is a major traffic generator in the area, with multiple sports venues in the
region which attract a large number of attendees. There is a quantifiable student population in the area,
as well as many University driven employers. The area near the proposed overpass is experiencing rapid
development. The study area is shown in Figure 3.
2.0 Traffic Field Observations
Field observations were conducted to verify driver behavior and identify operational deficiencies and/or
safety concerns that should be considered when developing build alternatives. Traffic in the area is
directional, with the prevailing movements during the morning peak hour being eastbound along MILK Jr
Boulevard and the eastbound left turn onto 1-49 from MILK Jr Boulevard. The evening peak hour is the
opposite major movements, with westbound MLK Jr Boulevard and southbound right turn from Shiloh
Drive onto MILK Jr Boulevard being the prevailing movements.
During the AM peak hour, the most significant queueing was observed traveling eastbound into
Fayetteville on Hwy 62. Queueing is most noticeable entering the system at the intersection of Finger

151 Street Overpass
Preliminary Engineering Report
The purpose of this preliminary engineering report is to evaluate potential revisions to the Highway 62
Interchange as proposed by ARDOT (referenced as the ARDOT Option in this report). ARDOT proposes
to convert the existing Highway 62 Interchange from a conventional diamond interchange to a Single
Point Urban Interchange (SPUI). Along with the SPUI design, ARDOT proposes improvements to the
Northbound exit ramp onto Futrall Drive with a proposed roundabout near 15th street, the southbound on -
ramp from Shiloh Drive, and improvements south at the Cato Springs Exit including a roundabout.
The City of Fayetteville proposes to modify ARDOT's planned improvements (referenced in this report as
ARDOT + City Option) by adding a connection from the east roundabout to 15th Street, adding an
overpass over Interstate 49 to a roundabout on the western side of Interstate 49, and removing the
proposed improvements at Cato Springs Road. See Figure 1 below.
