The Rebuild Mayfield project is committed to creating a safer, more walkable environment while restoring the historic charm of the city’s streetscape.

The Rebuild Mayfield project will transform downtown into a safer, more accessible space for walking and biking. Spanning 2.5 miles, the initiative will rebuild key roadways while addressing long-standing infrastructure challenges that existed even before the tornado devastated the community.

Streets will be redesigned to better serve the community. By allocating more dedicated space within the public right-of-way for pedestrians and cyclists, the project will reduce vehicle speeds and create a safer, more welcoming environment for all users.

As part of the planning process, the project team evaluated multiple design options for 7th and 8th Streets, along with surrounding roadways and intersections. Following the April public meeting and community feedback, the project team chose Alternative 1 as the preferred alignment. This design includes roundabouts to improve traffic flow and safety, along with a shared-use path that provides a safe, dedicated space for both pedestrians and cyclists.
