What is this Project?
This project will bring much needed sidewalks and street improvements to one of Fayetteville's most important east-west corridors. Improvements to this corridor are varied, depending on the segment but include sidewalks, shared-use paved trails, trees, lighting and intersection improvements.
- Garland Ave to Gregg Ave: Pedestrian improvements, to connect retail and restaurant areas on Garland Avenue to residential areas and the Razorback Greenway, and pedestrian safety improvements at the Garland/North intersection.
- College Ave Intersection: Left turn lane for west bound traffic east of College Ave, and general intersection alignment and signalization upgrades to reduce congestion.
- College Ave to Mission Blvd: Pedestrian improvements; intersection improvements at Hillcrest.
Why is It Important?
This corridor is an important east-west route for commuter traffic, that runs through existing neighborhoods; a mix of congestion relief and capacity improvements, and pedestrian and bicycle facilities will address issues for all users.
