Fayetteville City Council approves parking deck for high school

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — The Fayetteville City Council approves a parking deck plan for Fayetteville High School on Sept. 17.

The city council voted 5-3 in favor of the plan. When the Fayetteville School District first presented the proposal, three locations for the garage were listed.

However, the only viable option is in an area that would demolish several protected old oak trees.

According to reports , the high school has 2,900 students enrolled in grades 9-12. About 1,300 to 1,800 of those students are eligible to drive to school.
