Chick-fil-A’s Third Location Stalls on Driveway Plan | Fayetteville Arkansas News

Fayetteville’s third Chick-fil-A could be coming to Wedington Drive—but traffic safety is blocking the way. The restaurant wants a new driveway allowing cars to turn in and out from all directions, but city staff says it’s too close to other driveways and intersections, risking chaos. Past Chick-fil-A locations have battled congestion, forcing one to go drive-through-only inside a shopping center. Chick-fil-A counters that their own driveway would be safer and more controlled, even attaching a traffic study to prove demand can be handled with dual lanes and internal stacking. City code requires driveways to be at least 250 feet from other access points—a rule the proposed site violates. Engineers say the existing shared driveway with Walgreens is sufficient, and customers could also use Rupple Road. The Planning Commission postponed its vote, pushing the decision to September 14th.
