Meeting of April 28, 2026
To: Transportation Committee

Chris Brown, Public Works Director
From: Dane Eifling, Mobility Coordinator
Subject: Safe Routes to School Plan Review
Recommendation:
Staff recommends forwarding the final draft of the Fayetteville Safe Routes to School plan to the full City
Council.
Background:
In 2024 the City of Fayetteville was awarded a $100,000 grant by Northwest Arkansas Planning Commission
through Arkansas Department of Transportation’s Carbon Reduction Program (CRP) for a comprehensive Safe
Routes to School Plan for the City and the School district. The Fayetteville Public School District and the City
of Fayetteville each committed to $12,500 in matching funds for a total project budget of $125,000. Toole
Design Group was selected to create the plan through a competitive selection process. The final draft of the
plan was completed in April of 2026.
Discussion:
Fayetteville’s Public Schools are a primary driver of traffic congestion in Fayetteville with more than 10,000
students traveling to and from school each day. Despite Fayetteville status as a Gold level Bicycle Friendly
Community, extensive trail system and traffic safety efforts less than ten percent of public-school students walk
or bike to school.
This plan focuses on six key areas Engineering, Education, Encouragement, Equity, Enforcement and
Evaluation & Planning known as the “Six E’s” to bring a holistic approach to address infrastructure needs
around campuses as well as policy changes and support programs to foster a culture that normalizes and
celebrates families’ choice to safely walk bike or roll to school every day.
Key goals of this plan are:
Engineering and Planning:
Address all infrastructure gaps within a 1/4-mile of every school and identify safe routes to each school.
Education:
Provide on-the-bike education to students K-6; Provide driver education for are givers at every school and
driving students at high school.
Encouragement:
Provide walk/bike programming at all schools to help achieve the Plan's school-specific mode share goal,
Mailing address:
113 W. Mountain Street www.fayetteville-ar.gov
Fayetteville, AR 72701
increasing the number of students who walk, bike and roll to school by 50% by 2029.
Enforcement:
Ensure every school has full crossing guard staff and strict speed enforcement in school zones.
Evaluation:
Accountability is established to implement the Plan, including formal adoption by the School Board and
City Council; Conduct an annual travel survey at each school.
Equity:
Allocate resources to school and students based on need and impact.
The plan identifies ongoing programmatic needs—such as education, encouragement, and coordination
across schools—which would require dedicated staff capacity from Fayetteville Public Schools as well as
the City to implement effectively.
City and FPS staff and a Technical Advisory Committee worked closely with Toole Design Group through
the planning process. In-person meetings were held with each school’s principles that included school
resource officers, crossing guards and bike education faculty and an open house event held at Woodland
Jr. High School. Public input for this plan was also extensive. Online surveys had over 500 responses and
student travel tallies were conducted across all 16 campuses, totaling more than 3,000 students.
Budget/Staff Impact:
None

Transportation Committee Memo
2026-1522
Meeting of April 28, 2026
To: Transportation Committee
Thru: Matt Mihalevich, Active Transportation Manager
Justin Bland, City Engineer
Chris Brown, Public Works Director
From: Dane Eifling, Mobility Coordinator
Subject: Vision Zero Safety Action Plan
Recommendation:
Staff recommends forwarding the Fayetteville Vision Zero Safety Action Plan to the full City Council.
Background:
Traffic crashes remain a significant public safety issue in Fayetteville and across Northwest Arkansas.
Between 2018 and 2022, 235 people in Fayetteville were killed or seriously injured in traffic crashes, with
vulnerable roadway users—people walking, bicycling, and motorcycling—accounting for a disproportionate
share of severe outcomes.
The Vision Zero Safety Action Plan builds upon the Northwest Arkansas Regional Vision Zero Comprehensive
Safety Action Plan adopted in 2023 and provides guidance for Fayetteville’s $33.5 million Vision Zero Strategy
which received a $25m grant through the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Safe Streets and Roads for All
(SS4A) program.
Discussion:
The Safety Action Plan provides Fayetteville-specific strategies, actions, and priority corridors to improve
safety for all users. Key components include:
• Safe System Approach: A framework that acknowledges human error and prioritizes designing streets
to minimize severe outcomes when crashes occur.
• High Injury Network (HIN): Identification of corridors where fatal and serious injury crashes are
concentrated, allowing for targeted investment.
• Data-Driven Strategies: Emphasis on reducing speeds, improving crossings, enhancing visibility, and
separating users where appropriate.
• Equity Focus: Prioritization of improvements in areas with higher social vulnerability and persistent
poverty.
• Implementation Framework: Action items with timelines, cost ranges, and responsible agencies to
guide execution.
The plan also aligns with ongoing City initiatives, including Safe Routes to School planning, Complete Streets
implementation, and recently awarded federal SS4A funding for corridor safety improvements. Adoption of the
is plan will give Fayetteville a continued advantage in future SS4A Grant applications.

Community Outreach
Throughout the planning process, the public had several
chances to talk with City staff and the consulting team
about safety concerns in the city. These opportunities
included meetings with a Safety Working Group and
interviews with stakeholders.
Safety Working Group
During the development of the Regional Vision Zero
CSAP, a Safety Working Group, comprising of residents,
business, and property owners, along with agency and
city leaders, met four times during the project. They
shared their insights on key safety issues, reviewed
data, and initial findings, and gave guidance on
recommendations and implementation.
Members of the Safety Working Group continued
their efforts during the development of the Regional
Complete Streets Design Guide, meeting an additional
three times to further develop the region’s vision for
safe transportation, create a regional street typology,
and establish common design elements and an
implementation strategy.
Public Outreach
During the development of the Northwest Arkansas
Vision Zero Safety Action Plan, the City of Fayetteville
was host to two in-person engagement events, which
complemented a robust regional outreach effort that
engaged hundreds. A majority of participants indicated
that they frequently walk or bike for a variety of
purposes and wished to do so more frequently with a
safer and more connected network.

During the development of the Regional Vision Zero
CSAP, the project team used an interactive online map
to collect over 600 data points. A number of those
corresponded with the project locations included in this
Safety Action Plan, most indicating a need for improved
safety and access for non-motorized users.

Demographic Analysis
Increasing safety across the region cannot
succeed without identifying communities that
have disproportionate traffic safety impacts. The
transportation system in Northwest Arkansas must
work for everyone across the region. Together with
the Safe System Approach, recommended actions
can address safety for people that have experienced
a historical disadvantage, persistent poverty, and/or
social vulnerability.
To create a broad characterization of communities that
have sociodemographic vulnerabilities and to define
the populations, this Plan used criteria for Areas of
Persistent Poverty as identified by the USDOT.
Area of Persistent Poverty1 is defined by the USDOT as
any County or Census Tract that has consistently had
greater than or equal to 20 percent of the population
living in poverty over a defined period. The City should
consider focusing investments in these areas in order
to address adverse transportation safety impacts
and increase opportunities for mobility and access to
opportunities.

Transportation Committee Memo
2026-1636
Meeting of April 28, 2026
To: Transportation Committee
Thru:
From: Chris Brown, Public Works Director
Subject:
A Resolution Approving a Memorandum of Agreement with the University of
Arkansas Establishing Maintenance Responsibilities on Certain Roadways Through
University of Arkansas Properties
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of a Resolution approving a Memorandum of Agreement to establish maintenance
responsibilities of streets through the University of Arkansas campus and adjacent to other University of
Arkansas properties. A recommendation from the Committee to the City Council is requested.
Background:
For several years, the University of Arkansas expressed interest in using their property frontages along public
streets for additional landscaping, extended areas of Senior Walk, and other enhancement. City and University
staff collaborated to identify a mechanism by which to do this that protected the interests of both institutions,
culminating in a conditionally approved right-of-way vacation that was approved by City Council in 2023
(Ordinance 6640; attached). This ordinance encompasses 6.54 acres of right-of-way to be vacated along
seven streets adjoining the main University of Arkansas campus and its satellite arts district. None of the 18
portions of right-of-way include vehicle driving lanes. In-turn, the University proposes dedication of right-of-way
along with utility easements to protect existing facilities. Among the remaining conditions, perhaps the most
prominent is the requirement for a formal agreement between the City and University, enshrining assurances
of pedestrian access and clear delineation of responsibility for maintenance and repairs.
Discussion:
Following approval of Ordinance 6640, City and University staff developed a Memorandum of Agreement
(MOA) to enshrine the right-off-way vacation’s conditions. The MOA was approved by the University’s Board of
Trustees with the final approval steps by the City and execution of signatures pending Council approval.

CONDITIONS OF VACATION OF VARIOUS RIGHTS-OF-WAY AND THE
RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE ONGOING MAINTENANCE
OF ROADWAYS THROUGH THE UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS,
AND FOR OTHER PROPERTIES AS AGREED TO BY THE PARTIES
WHEREAS, the University of Arkansas (the University) is located within the city limits
of the City of Fayetteville, Arkansas (the City) and the City has certain streets that pass through
the state-owned property of the University; and
WHEREAS, the City has been granted ownership of the Rights of Way (ROW) of these
streets which once were the property of the State of Arkansas, in the form of highways managed
by ARDOT; and
WHEREAS, the City and the University have determined that it is in the best interest of
both parties and the constituencies they respectively represent to transfer ownership of specific
portions of said ROW from the City to the University; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has the authority under A.C.A. § 14-54-104 to vacate
public grounds or portions thereof which are not required for corporate purposes; and
WHEREAS, the City and the University have jointly executed the required official legal
documents required to make such ROW transfers, such that the City generally owns the ROW
encompassing the street width from the back-of-curb to back-of-curb for the designated streets;
and the University owns the land beginning at the back-of-curb, it then being a continuous part
of the University’s adjacent property; and
WHEREAS the City and the University wish to designate the maintenance
responsibilities for all land areas, surface and sub-surface infrastructures, landscape and grounds,
and other appurtenances, collectively referred to as facilities, of the University and the City
respectively in such transferred ROW areas; and,
WHEREAS the City and the University wish to execute all necessary associated utility
easements, as required to maintain said facilities, both public and private; and
1
WHEREAS the City and the University agree to provide in the agreement assurances for
pedestrian access to sidewalks of the University in the vacated areas; and
NOW THEREFORE, the City and the University agree to the following conditions and
responsibilities under this agreement, for the designated areas shown on the attached and
referenced exhibits:
I. PEDESTRIAN ACCESS
a. The University agrees by execution of this MOU with the City, to accommodate use
by the general public of the sidewalks that are located on the subject University
property for pedestrian traffic, to be used in compliance with applicable law and
policies of the University. The University may temporarily close or otherwise manage
access for safety, construction, repair, or maintenance purposes.
II. EASEMENTS FOR FACILITIES
a. Easements shall be dedicated for any existing facilities associated with this right-of-
way vacation request, with review and coordination by the University, the City, and
the utility provider, including properly identifying utilities in the field by means of
surveying, pot holing, and coordinating with utility representatives.
b. Signal poles and appurtenances must remain in the right-of-way, or an easement be
dedicated over the areas where poles and appurtenances are located.
c. Drainage easements must be dedicated in areas of existing drainage facilities.
d. For the installation of future utilities, the University and the City agree to work
cooperatively to provide reasonable and necessary access to utility providers.
III. MAINTENANCE RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE CITY.
a. Within the City ROW, the city shall be responsible for maintaining the street paving,
curbs and gutters, storm and drainage structures, traffic and crosswalk signals and
control cabinets, street markings and all other hardscape or road elements, unless
specifically identified as a responsibility of the University elsewhere in the MOU.
b. Outside City ROW, the City shall be responsible for repairs to features behind the
curb due to maintenance, installation, and repair of any City facilities located within
vacated rights of way, including drainage facilities and water/sewer lines, where a
utility easement has been granted to the City from the University. The City shall be
financially responsible for restoration of disturbed hardscape and landscape only to
the extent the repairs are consistent with the standard of care for other City Streets.
The University shall be responsible for any enhanced landscape or hardscape above
that which is typical for the City in other similar instances.
c. The City shall not be responsible for the maintenance of landscape, trees and
irrigation systems, located in the street medians, unless specifically noted below.
2
d. For other site improvements located outside the City ROW, or not contained in a
dedicated City easement, the City will not be responsible for maintenance or repair of
anything except a standard sidewalk, as defined in City engineering standards for a
Master Plan Street Section of the same classification. Where repairs require specialty
hardscape materials (e.g. Senior Walk, specialty pavers, specialty signage) desired by
the University, restoration shall be as mutually agreed by the City and University; but
the City will be responsible for only the cost of City standard hardscape materials as
specified by the design standards shown in the Master Plan Street Sections. Any
damage to or relocation of existing facilities will be at the expense of those creating
the need for the maintenance or repair.
IV. MAINTENANCE RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE UNIVERSITY
a. For the streets noted below, the maintenance responsibility of the University within
the City ROW will be primarily related to landscape elements, associated with ground
cover, trees and irrigation.
b. Unless explicitly noted otherwise, maintenance responsibility of the University does
not include hardscape or road elements located in City ROW, such as curb and gutter,
drainage infrastructure, paving, traffic and crosswalk signals and equipment, street
markings, and standard traffic control signage; all of which are the responsibility of
City. University specialty monument signage is not the responsibility of the City,
whether in City ROW or not.
c. Scope of Maintenance Services to be provided by the University:
1) Maintenance of turf grass:
a) Mowing, chemical treatment
b) Periodic edging and weed string trimming
2) Maintenance of trees:
a) Pruning as required
b) Replacement when necessary
c) Installation, pruning, and replacement will be coordinated such that
signage elements maintained by the City are not obscured, and that
sight distance standards are upheld.
3) Irrigation systems where applicable:
a) Backflow device maintenance
b) Drip irrigation for trees
c) Turf irrigation where applicable
d) Utility costs for irrigation
4) Crosswalk striping and pedestrian enhancements (RRFB’s, in pavement
lighting, and the like) at non-signalized pedestrian crossings.

CITY COUNCIL MEMO
2022-262
MEETING OF JANUARY 3, 2023
TO: Mayor Jordan and City Council
THRU: Susan Norton, Chief of Staff
Jonathan Curth, Development Services Director
FROM: Jessica Masters, Development Review Manager
DATE: December 15, 2022
SUBJECT: VAC 22-024 (RAZORBACK RD, MAPLE ST., ETC.):
RECOMMENDATION:
BACKGROUND:
The subject property includes 6.54 acres of right-of-way spread along portions of seven public streets adjacent
to University of Arkansas Property (see attached survey). Most prominently, the right-of-way includes:
• Arts District: Three separate areas of right-of-way behind street curbs on the north, west, and east borders
of the new Arts District, along W. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, S. Hill Avenue, and S. LT. Col. Leroy Pond
Avenue.
• Former Highway 112: Multiple areas of right-of-way behind the curb along both the east and west sides of
Razorback Road, north and south sides of W. Maple Street, and east and west sides of Garland Avenue.
• Cleveland Street: Two areas of right-of-way along the south side of W. Cleveland Street, between N. Lindell
Avenue to the east and N. Razorback Road to the west.
Given the large number of properties associated with the right-of-way, adjacent zoning district information is
not provided. All properties adjacent to the request are owned by the University of Arkansas with uses varying
from parking and athletic facilities to housing and classrooms. A similar proposal was heard by the Planning
Commission in late 2021, but was tabled indefinitely at the applicant’s request to allow time to coordinate with
the City Attorney’s office. The applicant is bringing back a new request, with an additional portion of right-of-
way for consideration.
Proposal: The applicant proposes to vacate 18 separate pieces of public right of way totaling 6.54 acres along
seven streets. In turn, a dedication of right-of-way totaling 1.43 acres is proposed along Razorback Road and
between W. Nolan Richardson Drive to the south and W. Maple Street to the north. With this request, the
applicant noted in their letter that existing utilities will be protected through easement dedication. Additionally,
the applicant asserts that vacating the right-of-way will remove current and future sections of Senior Walk,
landscaping, lights, and trees from the City’s responsibility.
DISCUSSION:
At the December 12, 2022 Planning Commission meeting, Commissioners voted to forward the item to City
Council with a recommendation of approval, with a vote of 8-0-0. Commissioner Garlock made the motion, and
Mailing address:
113 W. Mountain Street www.fayetteville-ar.gov

21
Commissioner Winston seconded. Finding that the conditions of approval covered previous concerns about
pedestrian access and maintenance, Commissioners found the request to vacate the right-of-way to be
acceptable. No public comment was offered on the item.
City staff and Planning Commission recommend approval of VAC-2022-0024 as shown in the attached
Exhibits 'A' and 'B', and with the following conditions of approval:
1. Easements shall be dedicated for any existing facilities associated with this right-of-way vacation request,
with review and coordination by the applicant with the utility provider, including the client properly identifying
utilities in the field by means of surveying, pot holing, and coordinating with representatives.
2. Adequate accommodation for pedestrian access must be maintained whether through easement or
agreement.
3. The applicant must dedicate right-of-way to the back of curb in any areas where right of way does not
currently exist
4. The applicant must dedicate a pedestrian access easement to the existing back of sidewalk or master
street plan right of way in areas where sidewalk does not currently exist.
5. Signal poles and appurtenances must remain in the right-of-way, or an easement be dedicated over the
areas where poles and appurtenances are located.
6. Drainage easements must be dedicated in areas of existing drainage facilities.
7. An agreement will need to be developed establishing responsibility (or lack thereof) for repairs to non-
typical features behind the curb due to maintenance, installation, and repair of any city facilities located within
vacated rights of way, including drainage facilities and water/sewer lines. The City will not be responsible for
maintenance or repair of anything except a standard sidewalk.
8. Any damage or relocation of existing facilities will be at the property owner/developer’s expense.
9. All easements and agreements required as a condition of this vacation shall be reviewed by the City and
signed by the Mayor.

CITY OF
CITY COUNCIL MEMO
FAYETTEVILLE
Pow, ARKANSAS 2022- 262
MEETING OF FEBRUARY 7, 2023
TO: Mayor Jordan and City Council
THRU: Susan Norton, Chief of Staff
Jonathan Curth, Development Services Director
FROM: Jessica Masters, Development Review Manager
DATE:
SUBJECT: VAC 22- 024 ( RAZORBACK RD. MAPLE ST., ETC.):
RECOMMENDATION:
BACKGROUND:
The subject property includes 6. 54 acres of right- of-way spread along portions of seven public streets adjacent
to University of Arkansas Property ( see attached survey). Most prominently, the right-of-way includes:
Arts District: Three separate areas of right- of- way behind street curbs on the north, west, and east borders
of the new Arts District, along W. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, S. Hill Avenue, and S. LT. Col. Leroy Pond
Avenue.
Former Highway 112: Multiple areas of right-of-way behind the curb along both the east and west sides of
Razorback Road, north and south sides of W. Maple Street, and east and west sides of Garland Avenue.
Cleveland Street: Two areas of right-of-way along the south side of W. Cleveland Street, between N. Lindell
Avenue to the east and N. Razorback Road to the west.
Given the large number of properties associated with the right- of-way, adjacent zoning district information is
not provided. All properties adjacent to the request are owned by the University of Arkansas with uses varying
from parking and athletic facilities to housing and classrooms. A similar proposal was heard by the Planning
Commission in late 2021, but was tabled indefinitely at the applicant' s request to allow time to coordinate with
the City Attorney' s office. The applicant is bringing back a new request, with an additional portion of right- of-
way for consideration.
Proposal: The applicant proposes to vacate 18 separate pieces of public right of way totaling 6. 54 acres along
seven streets. In turn, a dedication of right- of-way totaling 1. 43 acres is proposed along Razorback Road and
between W. Nolan Richardson Drive to the south and W. Maple Street to the north. With this request, the
applicant noted in their letter that existing utilities will be protected through easement dedication. Additionally,
the applicant asserts that vacating the right- of-way will remove current and future sections of Senior Walk,
landscaping, lights, and trees from the City' s responsibility.
DISCUSSION:
At the December 12, 2022 Planning Commission meeting, Commissioners voted to forward the item to City
Council with a recommendation of approval, with a vote of 8- 0- 0. Commissioner Garlock made the motion, and
Mailing address:

Commissioner Winston seconded. Finding that the conditions of approval covered previous concerns about
pedestrian access and maintenance, Commissioners found the request to vacate the right-of-way to be
acceptable. No public comment was offered on the item.
City staff and Planning Commission recommend approval of VAC- 2022- 0024 as shown in the attached
Exhibits ' A' and ' 13% and with the following conditions of approval:
1. Easements shall be dedicated for any existing facilities associated with this right- of-way vacation request,
with review and coordination by the applicant with the utility provider, including the client properly identifying
utilities in the field by means of surveying, pot holing, and coordinating with representatives.
2. Adequate accommodation for pedestrian access must be maintained whether through easement or
agreement.
3. The applicant must dedicate right- of-way to the back of curb in any areas where right of way does not
currently exist
4. The applicant must dedicate a pedestrian access easement to the existing back of sidewalk or master
street plan right of way in areas where sidewalk does not currently exist.
5. Signal poles and appurtenances must remain in the right- of- way, or an easement be dedicated over the
areas where poles and appurtenances are located.
6. Drainage easements must be dedicated in areas of existing drainage facilities.
7. An agreement will need to be developed establishing responsibility ( or lack thereof) for repairs to non-
typical features behind the curb due to maintenance, installation, and repair of any city facilities located within
vacated rights of way, including drainage facilities and water/ sewer lines. The City will not be responsible for
maintenance or repair of anything except a standard sidewalk.
8. Any damage or relocation of existing facilities will be at the property owner/ developer' s expense.
9. All easements and agreements required as a condition of this vacation shall be reviewed by the City and
signed by the Mayor.

CITY OF
FAYETTEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION MEMO
PF ARKANSAS
TO: Fayetteville Planning Commission
FROM: Jessie Masters, Development Review Manager
MEETING DATE: December 12, 2022
SUBJECT: VAC- 2022- 0024: Vacation ( RAZORBACK RD., MILK BLVD., MAPLE
ST., GARLAND AVE., CLEVELAND ST., HILL AVE., & LT. COL. LEROY
POND AVEJUA- ARTS ROW VACATION, 482/ 521/ 522): Submitted by
DCI for portions of right- of-way located along Razorback Rd./ Maple
St./ Garland Ave/ Cleveland St./ Hill Ave./ MLK Blvd./ Lt. Col. Leroy Pond Ave.
The rights -of -way are within or adjacent to property belonging to the
University of Arkansas. The request is to vacate portions of existing street
rights of way totaling approximately 6. 54 acres.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends forwarding VAC- 2022- 0024 to City Council with a recommendation of
approval, with conditions.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
I move to forward VAC- 2022- 0024 with a recommendation of approval, with conditions as
recommended by staff."
BACKGROUND:
The subject property includes 6. 54 acres of right- of- way spread along portions of seven public
streets adjacent to University of Arkansas Property ( see attached survey). Most prominently, the
right- of-way includes:
Arts District: Three separate areas of right- of-way behind street curbs on the north, west,
and east borders of the new Arts District, along W. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, S.
Hill Avenue, and S. LT. Col. Leroy Pond Avenue.
Former Highway 112: Multiple areas of right- of-way behind the curb along both the east
and west sides of Razorback Road, north and south sides of W. Maple Street, and east
and west sides of Garland Avenue.
Cleveland Street: Two areas of right- of-way along the south side of W. Cleveland Street,
between N. Lindell Avenue to the east and N. Razorback Road to the west.
Given the large number of properties associated with the right- of-way, adjacent zoning district
information is not provided. All properties adjacent to the request are owned by the University of
Arkansas with uses varying from parking and athletic facilities to housing and classrooms. A
similar proposal was heard by the Planning Commission in late 2021, but was tabled indefinitely
at the applicant' s request to allow time to coordinate with the City Attorney' s office. The applicant
is bringing back a new request, with an additional portion of right- of-way for consideration.
Planning Commission
December 12, 2022
Agenda Item 6
VAR- 2022- 0024 ( UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS)
Page 1 of 10
Proposal: The applicant proposes to vacate 18 separate pieces of public right of way totaling 6. 54
acres along seven streets. In turn, a dedication of right- of-way totaling 1. 43 acres is proposed
along Razorback Road and between W. Nolan Richardson Drive to the south and W. Maple Street
to the north. With this request, the applicant noted in their letter that existing utilities will be
protected through easement dedication. Additionally, the applicant asserts that vacating the right-
of-way will remove current and future sections of Senior Walk, landscaping, lights, and trees from
the City's responsibility.
DISCUSSION:
For several years, the University of Arkansas expressed interest to City staff in achieving greater
flexibility to program their property frontages along public streets. This is with the intent of using
the land outside of the street and behind the curb for additional landscaping, alternative paving
options, extended areas of Senior Walk, or other opportunities. While this was originally proposed
as an agreement, the University ultimately submitted a request to vacate the subject right-of-way.
Staff finds that if existing utilities and access are adequately protected, the proposal can promote
the University' s interests and remove areas from City maintenance. None of the 18 portions of
right- of-way proposed for vacation encroach on driving lanes and all adjoin University property.
Vacation Approval: The applicant has submitted the required vacation forms to the relevant City
departments and franchise utility companies with the following responses in 2021; the applicant
re -affirmed and made some modifications to the utility providers' conditions with this request in
2022. As the petitioner and sole landowner adjacent to the subject right- of-way, adjacent property
owner consent is not an applicable standard.
Utility Response
Cox Communications No objections, provided any damage or relocation of existing Cox
facilities will be at the expense of the applicant.
AEP/ SWEPCO No objections, provided easement be dedicated for existing
facilities associated with this right- of-way vacation request.
Black Hills Energy AR No objections, provided that easements along existing lines shall
be drafted for Black Hills Energy review, then recorded ( retaining
same recording position as currently exists, if any).
AT& T No objections, provided dedicated easements are recorded by
client properly identifying ATT utilities in the field by means of
surveying, pot holing, and coordinating with ATT representatives.
A 10- foot utility easement at ATT existing utility locations a
dedicated corridor for backbone placements. Further, ATT
requests that any relocation/ movement of ATT facilities will be at
the cost of the petitioner, and that a permanent TELCO utility
easement will be provided to cover all existing ATT facilities along
the described route.
Ozarks Electric No objections and no comment.
City of Fayetteville Response
Water/ Sewer No objections, provided easements are dedicated as needed for
existing water and sewer lines.

Page 2 of 10
Solid Waste & Recycling No objections and no comment.
Transportation No objections, provided adequate accommodation is provided for
pedestrian access, whether through easement or agreement.
Transportation will also require the dedication of Right of Way to
the back of curb in any areas where right of way does not currently
exist and the dedication of a pedestrian access easement to the
existing back of sidewalk or master street plan right of way in
areas where sidewalk does not currently exist. Signal poles and
appurtenances need to remain in the right of way, or an easement
be dedicated over the areas where poles and appurtenances are
located. Drainage easements are needed in areas of existing
drainage facilities. An agreement will need to be developed
establishing responsibility ( or lack thereof) for repairs to non-
typical features behind the curb due to maintenance, installation,
and repair of any city facilities located within vacated rights of
way, including drainage facilities and water/sewer lines.
Public Comment. Staff has received inquiries about the request, but no statements of support or
opposition. Given the scope of the request, staff required posting of ten public notification signs.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends forwarding VAC- 2022- 0024 to City Council with a
recommendation of approval, with the following conditions:
Conditions of Approval:
1. Easements shall be dedicated for any existing facilities associated with this right- of-way
