PUBLIC MEETING January 20

Improvements to Block Avenue are planned as part of The City of Fayetteville Transportation Division’s Sidewalk and Overlay Construction Plan for 2010.  The improvements will provide a safer, more pedestrian friendly, aesthetically pleasing link between Dickson Street and the downtown square, while also improving the water, sewer, and drainage infrastructure.  Planned improvements include new sidewalks, street trees, and decorative street lighting.  A new asphalt overlay and striping complete with bicycle "sharrow" symbols is also a part of the project.

A public meeting to review the options will be held on Wednesday, January 20, 2010 from 4 to 7 pm at City Hall Room 111.  This is an open to the public drop in meeting; City staff will be available during those times to discuss the plans and take comments from the public.  Follow the link below to review the proposed concepts.

Two of the concepts presented include angled, back-in parking.  This is a new concept for Fayetteville, but has been used successfully in other communities.  The link below provides additional information about back in parking.
