Construction will begin soon for several sidewalks in Fayetteville as part of the City of Fayetteville's goal to improve safety and quality of life.

Currently, Fayetteville includes 2,059,306 linear feet of sidewalk throughout the City.

“Sidewalks provide numerous health, economic and safety benefits,” Public Services Director Sheila Thomas-Ambat said in a press release. “Pedestrians deserve spaces that are safe and accessible. Fayetteville City Council Members challenge us to offer exemplary City services. The sidewalks coming in 2022 are just one example of services we are proud to offer.”

Since the start of 2022, two sections of sidewalk projects were finished and are now ready for pedestrians to walk on them. In January, crews completed work on 750 linear feet of new sidewalk with ADA ramps along Ramsey Street between Summerchase Drive and Andrews Road. Some 225 linear feet of sidewalk along Cliffdale Road between Skibo Road and the Freedom Center was finished earlier in February.

Three additional sidewalk sections are scheduled to be completed this summer, totaling nearly 14,000 linear feet in various areas of the City. Those areas are:

• Rosehill Road between Stuart Avenue and Hickory Hill Road will see 6,600 linear feet of sidewalk including ADA ramps, bus stops and a retaining wall.
• Helen Street between Pamalee and Stansfield Drives will get 3,500 feet of sidewalk and include ADA ramps.
• Reilly Road between Willowbrook and Cissna Drives will have 3,850 linear feet sidewalk and include ADA ramps and bus pads.
