CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE TRANSPORTATION & PUBLIC SERVICES SPLOST

This is a joint project with Fayette County to construct an 0.8 mile segment of new road between State Route 54 West and First Manassas Mile. This project addresses safety and congestion concerns by reducing truck traffic on Grady Avenue at Bradford Square and around Spring Hill Elementary School. This line item funds half of the estimated cost of $3,000,000, with the expectation that the balance will be funded by Fayette County. Heavy traffic is generated on First Manassas Mile by several transfer stations for solid waste, the City’s water and wastewater plants, grinding and compost facilities, Fayette County’s inert landfill, and several small businesses. Most of the new road will be built on existing land owned by the Fayette County government.

This project will maintain and expand the City’s sidewalk system. The City of Fayetteville is currently evaluating the sidewalk system for American’s with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance and condition to prioritize and conduct needed repairs. This evaluation will also identify other areas in the City where new sidewalks can be installed to improve pedestrian safety and connectivity.
