The Fayetteville City Council meeting, postponed from Tuesday because of the election, is on Thursday. City Council members plan to vote on:

🚧 A resolution expressing the willingness of the city to apply for about $2.7 million in federal grants for six streets and trails projects, for which the city would need to match $672,500.

The projects include:

Old Wire Trail lighting from Mission Boulevard to Ash Street
Mission Boulevard Trail Extension
Work on the Highway 112 tunnel
Millsap Road and College Avenue intersection improvements
Work on the North Street corridor from Greenway Trail to College Avenue
Work on the Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard/Huntsville Road corridor from School Avenue to Happy Hollow Road

💰 An agreement of understanding with the Arkansas Department of Transportation to use $250,000 in federal grants for Razorback Greenway improvements. The city's contribution is $62,500.

The oldest sections of the Razorback Greenway in Fayetteville are 18 years old and showing signs of deterioration, including cracks, buckling and bumps, creating safety hazards, according to city documents.
