The city of Fayetteville gave a permit to the University of Arkansas to limit traffic on West Dickson Street from Harmon Avenue to Garland Avenue for certain periods during the week.
With the permit, starting today the University will close this section of Dickson Street to unauthorized vehicles Monday through Friday from 7 AM to 6 PM. Associate Vice Chancellor for facilities Mike Johnson says their main concern is pedestrian safety. Authorized vehicles include emergency vehicles, Razorback transit buses, approved delivery vehicles, university service vehicles and drivers with parking permits for adjacent lots will be allowed during the restricted period. Bicycles are allowed, but scooters and motorcycles are not.
