Maple, Gregg intersection to become 4-way stop

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - As part of the Maple Street Safety Improvement Project, the intersection of W. Maple Street and N. Gregg Avenue will be converted to a four-way stop starting Thursday, Sept. 18.

The Maple Street Improvements Project is a comprehensive reconstruction of the half-mile corridor between the Razorback Regional Greenway and Garland Avenue. The project aims to improve pedestrian safety by adding a two-way protected bike path, addressing drainage concerns and reducing vehicle speeds - all while enhancing the street's appearance and creating a more inclusive, accessible space for all users.

The intersection of Maple and Gregg has limited sightlines due to the concrete railings of the historic railroad bridge. Converting it to a four-way stop will improve safety and allow north-south traffic on Gregg to cross Maple more efficiently, enhancing overall circulation around campus.

The addition of stop signs also will improve safety for the many pedestrians who use this intersection, as well as cyclists travelling on the new bike path that will connect to the Razorback Greenway.

The Maple Street Improvement Project was awarded $7.5 million by the U.S. Department of Transportation 2023 Safe Streets and Roads for All grant, with matching funds from the City of Fayetteville and the University of Arkansas.
