School Avenue Quadrants 1 And 2 (Between MLK Blvd. and 15t" Street) 2. College Avenue Quadrant 3 (Between Green Acres Road and Poplar Street) 3. College Avenue Quadrants 1 and 2 (North Street to Green Acres Road) -Sidewalks, lighting, and street trees only. BACKGROUND: A planning level study of the College Avenue and School Avenue Corridors was completed in 2019. Out of this plan, a conceptual/programming level design was completed with estimated costs. The programming document broke each corridor into 4 quadrants, with a cost estimate for each. During development of the transportation bond program, a $10 million allocation for the two corridors was established. In addition to this allocation, the City has $1.5 million in federal aid funding available, and another $3 million in federal aid has been applied for and is expected to be awarded. DISCUSSION: The cost of the sections recommended for detailed design and construction generally match the currently identified funding. As the designs progress, more detailed estimates will be completed, and the project scopes may need to be adjusted if costs increase. Staff will also continue to pursue additional funding to further enhance the project budgets. If the Committee approves the recommendations, staff will proceed to negotiate design contracts with the City's design consultants on the project and will present the proposals to the City Council for approval. Mailing Address: 113 W. Mountain Street www.fayetteville-ar.gov Fayetteville, AR 72701 11 l�l��1�1�+'il: SOUTH SCHOOL & COLLEGE AVENUES RDg,aeo GARVER PLANNING • DESIGN 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 PROGRAMMING THE STREET: SOUTH SCHOOL & COLLEGE AVENUES PROGRAM SOUTH SCHOOL Roadway • Reallocation of right of way in certain locations • Road section: Three 11-12' travel lanes with two-way cycle track on west side • On -street parking: located as needed along South School • Access management - driveway containment, identify parking areas for modification and general approach Pedestrian refuge medians at high demand crossings Possible enhancement or higher visibility of entrance to Reserach Park Active Transportation • Bicycle facility: Two-way separated bicycle track on west side • Sidewalks: Five 6' sidewalk behind the curb separated by pavers or a minimum of six feet distance away from curb to allow for tree plantings. Back of curb sidewalks without edge buffer are acceptable adjacent to cycle track. • Colored concrete crosswalks at pedestrian crossings • 11th Street and South School - Modify alignment of 11th Street and South School and modify parking to allow for safer vehicular traffic, pedestrian and bicycle mobility. • Redesign of 11th Street strip center parking lot for improved safety and sidewalk continuity • Transit- Locate bus shelters where appropriate. Environment • Stormwater management - Locate stormwater management BMP's where appropriate • Use long lasting materials and LED lighting along South School • Plant native and adaptive species of street trees Enhancements • Denote districts along South School with integrated art Integrate art to denote bicycle and pedestrian crossings. • New lighting and poles Provide new street trees and landscaping along the corridor where space allows. Provide decorative fencing where there is no buffer between sidewalk and parking lots. NORTH COLLEGE Roadway • Road section: Five 11' travel lanes with 6' tree lawn and 6' sidewalk. In constrained area between North to Memorial, 5' concrete sidewalk and 1.5' paver edge adjacent to the curb to help separate cars from pedestrians. • Access management - driveway containment, identify parking areas for modification and general approach. • Medians in locations where they do not impede turns into businesses Intersection realignment at Green Acres Drive to create 90 degree intersection and green space; Colt Drive connection between Green Acres and College • Intersection redesign - Poplar and College • Utilities: Bury or move above ground utilities to reduce visual clutter Active Transportation • Sidewalks: Five 6' sidewalk behind the curb separated by pavers or a minimum of six feet of distance away from curb to allow for tree plantings. • Connection of Poplar Bikeway and future Sublett Creek Trail • Colored concrete crosswalks at pedestrian crossings Environment/Sustainability • Green Acres greenspace - reuse of vacated right-of-way for stormwater BMP's and open space • Daylight Sublett Creek east of College and Poplar to allow for stormwater management. • Use long lasting materials and LED lighting along South School • Plant native and adaptive species of street trees Districts • Restaurant District: district organization with shared access, interconnected parking and pedestrian access, branding, graphics, amenities, outdoor eating Enhancements Public Spaces: Green Acres, Sublett Drainage, Poplar Trailhead • Provide opportunities for art in public spaces • Denote restaurant district along College Avenue with integrated art and branding. Parking lot interconnection where possible • New Lighting and Poles • Provide new street trees and landscaping along the corridor where space allows. Provide decorative fencing where there is no buffer between sidewalk and parking lots.

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. DISTRICT GATEWAY BUS SHELTER DISTRICT GATEWAY DISTRICT GATEWAY DISTRICT GATEWAY BUS SHELTER DISTRICT GATEWAY MAJOR ART INSTALLATION MAJOR ART INSTALLATION MAJOR ART INSTALLATION DISTRICT GATEWAY DISTRICT GATEWAY PROGRAMMING THE STREET: SOUTH SCHOOL & COLLEGE AVENUES 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. PROGRAMMING THE STREET: SOUTH SCHOOL & COLLEGE AVENUES SOUTH SCHOOL SECTIONS EXISTING SOUTH SCHOOL CONDITION Five -lane configuration looking north from Town Branch Creek bridge 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.

CITY OF ._ FAYETTEVILLE ARKANSAS TO: City Council Transportation Committee THRU: Susan Norton, Chief of Staff Chris Brown, Public Works Director FROM: Devin Howland, Director of Economic Vitality DATE: August 6, 2021 SUBJECT: Modifications to the downtown Outdoor Refreshment Area STAFF MEMO RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending approval of the attached adjustments to the boundary of the Downtown Outdoor Refreshment Area as well as removal of the sunset provision from Ordinance 111.07. BACKGROUND: On January 19, 2021 the Fayetteville City Council extended the Outdoor Refreshment Area to April 30, 2024. DISCUSSION: Staff is proposing an adjustment to the boundary of the Downtown Outdoor Refreshment Area in anticipation of the first phase of the Cultural Arts Corridor coming on line. The new western border would be along S. Gregg Avenue and the Razorback Greenway. To the south, the proposed boundary is extended to encompass the upcoming South Yard development. While ORA beverages cannot enter ARDOT right-of-way, the addition of the trail provides a safe path for patrons to go under M.L.K. Jr. Blvd. The addition of the trail throughout the entire Downtown Outdoor Refreshment Area also creates a safe walking path for patrons to travel the corridor. Currently, S. School is the only path to access the Mill District in ORA. Originally, West Avenue and the trail were excluded due to construction of the first phase of the Cultural Arts Corridor (CAC). This new wing of ORA would not be activated until construction of phase one of the CAC was complete. Additionally, the extension to the South Yard development would not be added until phase one of that project was complete. If the extension is approved by City Council, signage and additional recycling receptacles would be installed before the new area opened as well. Staff is also requesting that the Fayetteville City Council remove the sunset provision from the program. In the months since the Outdoor Refreshment Area was extended by the City Council on January 19, 2021, the program has continued to operate in a safe and responsible manner. Removal of the sunset provision would encourage businesses to make larger investments into the program, such as sidewalk cafes and parklets. During the 17th Annual Pride Parade, the Outdoor Refreshment Area operated along side it's largest event to date without any issues. Mailing Address: 113 W. Mountain Street www.fayetteville-ar.gov Fayetteville, AR 72701 Since the program opened last year it has produced the following metrics: • No litter issues; • Zero citations for violation of ORA rules have been issued; • 96% of eligible businesses participate in the program; • Over 500,000 ORA wristbands have been distributed by City staff; The ORA boundary adjustment and request to remove sunset provision will be submitted to the City Council with letters of support from numerous organizations. Staff plans to submit the item for initial consideration at the September 7, 2021 City Council meeting. BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT: Management of the Outdoor Refreshment Area requires minimal staff time. ORA is primarily managed by each of the participating businesses who serve as ambassadors for the rules of the program.
