Work has begun to create more parking in the area of the old county courthouse on the square in Fayetteville. Photo/City of Fayetteville.
Construction has begun on Fayetteville’s Courthouse Square to convert an underused highway lane into additional on-street parking spaces and safer pedestrian access while resulting in better vehicle traffic movement through the area. City leaders say the results will benefit the public as well as businesses located immediately around the Historic Fayette County Courthouse.
Crews recently began digging up the left lane of Stonewall Avenue (Highway 54 eastbound) adjacent to the Courthouse and Fayetteville First United Methodist Church. In its place, crews are installing a combination of angled and parallel parking spaces, upgraded sidewalks and crosswalks, and new landscaping.
