Background:
The City of Broken Arrow has selected to apply for FFY 2024 Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) Grant funds for the New Orleans Street Shared-Use Path Project in Broken Arrow. The project consists of an approximately 1/2 mile shared -use path connection for bicyclists and pedestrians along New Orleans Street that will facilitate pedestrian and bicycle movement in this area of Broken Arrow and improve safety for both. This route will connect the New Orleans Square area to the Broken Arrow Creek Trail to the east that runs north to south along 1st Place. This route will eventually connect with a planned on-street bike route on Oak Avenue that extends from New Orleans Street south to Redbud Avenue and Miami Street just north of the Liberty Trail and the Creek Turnpike. The project, all inclusive, is estimated to cost approximately $840,000.00 with a TAP Grant request for $670,000.00 and a City match of 20% or approximately $170,000.00.
Engineering and Construction staff recommends execution of the Resolution requesting programming of ODOT Transportation Alternatives Program Funds for FFY 2024.
