City staff outlines 2025 paving, sidewalk and crosswalk plan; network PCI rated well above national average
Summary
Transportation staff presented the 2025 Asphalt Overlay and Sidewalk Construction plan, citing a citywide pavement condition index (PCI) of 77, about 75% of streets in very good to excellent condition, ~11.5 miles of work estimated at $2.4M in material costs and 5,800 feet of sidewalks to be built by city crews; council asked about crosswalk locations and storm-related potholes.
Transportation Division staff presented the 2025 paving and sidewalk plan and explained the pavement condition index (PCI) methodology used to prioritize work. The city’s network PCI is 77 and backlog (very poor + poor) is about 3.4%, meaning Fayetteville’s pavement condition is substantially better than national averages (PCI 60–65; backlog ~12%). Staff said the model is supplemented with ground‑truthing and staff judgment to capture local conditions. The two-year window being presented covers roughly 11.5 miles and an estimated $2.4 million in material costs; city crews will construct about 5,800 feet of sidewalk and the plan also identifies contractor-funded sidewalk projects and crosswalk enhancements (rectangular rapid flashing beacons) prioritized by use and feasibility. Council questions focused on RRFB siting (not concentrated only near the university) and on recent rain-driven pavement damage; staff encouraged residents to report potholes through 'See, Click, Fix' for timely response.
