EXISTING CONDITIONS
Context
N Gregg Ave. is a four-lane road that runs in a north-south
direction. The four travel lanes measure approximately 11' wide.
There are designated left turn lanes at W Drake St., W Township
Ave., and W North St., and there is a designated right turn lane at
W North St. Three traffic-controlled intersections, W Sunbridge
Dr., W Poplar St., and W Sycamore St., do not have designated
turn lanes. City-owned right-of-way varies throughout the studied
corridor between 62' to 75'; however, when combined with the
railroad right-of-way, it can be up to 105' wide in some segments.
There is a mix of bicycle and pedestrian facilities along N Gregg
Ave.
Challenges
Although Gregg Ave. serves as a central north-south
connection for both vehicles and people on foot, there are
several conditions that make Gregg Ave. less navigable and
safe to travel on. &
GREGG AVE.
Topography changes on Gregg Ave. between W Sycamore St.
and W North St. limit sight distance for drivers cresting the hill. 4 10,000 to 17,000
travel lanes vehicles per day
Four wide travel lanes lead to drivers exceeding the speed
limit. Further, sections of the adjacent sidewalks provide little to
no buffer, have obstacles in the path, or are severely cracked
with uneven surfaces.
Topography changes on N Gregg Ave. Off-camber sidewalk with no buffer & wall
N Gregg Ave. near W Township Ave., where the Multiple mailboxes obstructing sidewalk Razorback Transit bus stop
sidewalk & grass buffer are wider
Debris & vegetation obstructing sidewalk Cracked & uneven surfaces in both the roadway & Transition from buffered sidewalk to unbuffered
sidewalk sidewalk
NORTH GREGG AVENUE | ROAD
RECONFIGURATION
4-LANE
BENEFITS OF A 3-LANE VS
4-LANE ROAD Outside lane
Fewer crash risks: A dedicated center turn lane
traffic hidden by
reduces rear‑end and left‑turn crashes by inside lane vehicle
getting turning vehicles out of the through lane.
More predictable speeds: With just one
through‑lane each way, traffic tends to move at
steadier, safer speeds.
Safer left turns: Drivers only have to cross one
lane instead of two, which makes turning easier
and lowers the chance of collisions
Improved pedestrian and bike safety: Fewer
3-LANE
lanes mean shorter crossings, and the extra
space can be used for bike lanes or pedestrian
islands.
Proven crash reduction: Studies show overall No hidden
crash reductions ranging from about 19% to vehicles
nearly 50%.
BENEFITS OF RAISED MEDIAN
Fewer Crash Risks: A raised median virtually
eliminates head-on collisions and angle crashes
for left-turns out of driveways.
Simplified Maneuvers: Left turns out of
driveways are simplified through a right turn
followed by a U-turn. Drivers only need to focus
on one direction at a time.
Non-Motorist Protection: Raised medians
provide a refuge for pedestrians/cyclists
crossing the roadway.
Signal Timing Flexibility: Raised medians allow
more flexibility for pedestrian crosswalk timings
at signals. A two-stage pedestrian crossing
could reallocate green time for vehicles to
reduce overall delay.

ABOUT THE PROJECT
Federal
In December 2023, the U.S. Department of Transportation 75% SS4A
Grant
awarded Fayetteville a $25 million Safe Streets and Roads
for All (SS4A) grant to accelerate safety and infrastructure
improvements identified in the Vision Zero Strategy, which
aims to eliminate severe crashes and enhance
transportation safety for all users.
EFFICIENCY
N. Gregg Avenue is a central north-south corridor that is
identified on the High Injury Network (HIN) analyses. Gregg
Ave. serves as a Razorback Transit route and has access to CONNECTIVITY
Interstate 49, with an average of 10,000 to 17,000 vehicles
using the route every day. Due to its wide multi-lane design
and lacking sidewalks, Gregg Ave. can be a difficult
environment for people walking, biking and rolling.
These projects are funded by a 75% federal SS4A grant
with 25% matching funds from the 2019 Bond Program and
are under review by the Federal Highway Administration. SAFETY

Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of contract Amendment #1 to the master agreement with Crafton Tull in the
amount of $189,380.00 for additional design services on the Gregg St. project.
Background:
The city received a $25,000,000 Safe Streets for All grant for five construction projects including this section of
Gregg St. (between North St. and Drake St.). Crafton Tull has a contract in place to provide a conceptual
design which they are nearing completion on. This conceptual design phase included a public meeting which
was held on April 29, 2026. Staff will present the recommended design concept along with public
feedback/survey results at the Transportation Committee on May 26, 2026.
Discussion:
The scope of services for this next phase of design include the Preliminary Design Phase which includes
another round of public engagement, preparation of land acquisition documents, agency coordination for
environmental review and preliminary plan preparation amongst other items. The amendment also includes
similar tasks for completion of the final plan preparation and bidding services.
Budget/Staff Impact:
The City has been awarded federal funding for this project through the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A)
Program, as approved by Resolution 301-24 and the original design contract with Crafton Tull was approved
by Resolution 190-25. The $189,380 cost in this proposal is for preliminary and final design services. Matching
funds for the SS4A grant funds will come from the 2019 Bond Program.

Transportation Committee Memo
2026-1936
Meeting of May 26, 2026
To: Transportation Committee
Thru: Chris Brown, Public Works Director
From: Justin Bland, City Engineer
Subject: College Ave. - Conceptual Design Review
Recommendation:
Engineering Staff recommends full implementation of the proposed streetscape section for College Ave. This
includes a new traffic signal at the Poplar intersection, medians, street trees, new buffered sidewalks, and
other improvements.
Background:
The proposed improvements to this corridor result from several years of public feedback and master planning.
This includes the 71B Corridor Study, completed in 2019, and the adoption of City Plan 2040, both of which
included substantial public input. These efforts led ArDOT to officially remove the majority of the 71B Corridor
from the state highway system in 2020. In 2024, the 71B Corridor was rezoned to the new Urban Corridor
zoning district. In addition, a $25 million Safe Streets for All (SS4A) grant was awarded for five projects,
including the College Ave. corridor between Sycamore and Township. This grant includes funding for the
design and construction of safety improvements for each corridor. The city selected Garver as the civil
engineering consultant for the work.
Discussion:
After performing a corridor survey, traffic study, and safety review, the consultant prepared a proposed
streetscape section and scroll plot of the corridor for review. This design addresses many current safety
concerns, including poor sidewalks, a lack of crosswalks, and excessive driveway density. The proposed
design will greatly enhance pedestrian safety by providing proper buffered sidewalks and new Rectangular
Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) protected crosswalks. It will also enhance vehicular safety by reducing the
number of lanes drivers must cross during turning movements. A new traffic signal will be at added at the
Poplar Intersection as well.
Budget/Staff Impact:
None at this time.

The Sunset Woods Property Owners’ Association (POA)
Street R.O.W. Dedication Request
❖ Multiple meetings have occurred between the POA &
Public Works Department to discuss the possible
dedication of the five private streets to the City of
Fayetteville.
❖ Poll of POA property owners indicated widespread
support to apply for the dedication of the private
streets to the City of Fayetteville. (POA Bylaws require
signatures of a minimum of 75% of property owners to
support the dedication.)
❖ Based on current RSF-4 zoning all existing lots in
Sunset Woods are non-compliant due to lack of
frontage along public streets.
❖ Sunbridge Villas established a precedence for a
similar dedication of private streets to the City.
❖ The Sunset Woods POA requests that the
Transportation Committee support and forward a
positive recommendation to the City Council to
accept the dedication of Sunset Woods streets to the
City of Fayetteville.
