Background:
The City of Broken Arrow has selected to apply for FFY 2025-2026 Indian Nations Council of Governments (INCOG) 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 Broken Arrow Creek Trail at 1st Place South to the east and 9th Street. 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, and to the east to a planned connection with the Creek Turnpike and eventually State Highway 51, which will connect to Northeastern State University, Events Park and the new amphitheater. The project, all inclusive, is estimated to cost approximately $2,060,000.00 with a TAP Grant request for $1,600,000.00 in Federal funds and a City match of 22% or approximately $460,000.00.
Engineering and Construction staff recommends execution of the resolution requesting programming of INCOG Transportation Alternatives Program Funds for FFY 2025-2026.
Cost: $460,000.00
