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 9th Street (Lynn Lane) Shared-Use Path Project in Broken Arrow. The project consists of an approximately 1 mile shared-use path connection for bicyclists and pedestrians along 9th Street that will facilitate pedestrian and bicycle movement in this area of Broken Arrow and improve safety for both. This route will be the northern beginning of a shared-use path that will eventually extend from Omaha Street south to New Orleans Street and the shared-use path along that extends east to the Creek Turnpike and Northeastern State University, Events Park, and the new amphitheater; and west to New Orleans Square. The project, all inclusive, is estimated to cost approximately $2,000,000.00 with a TAP Grant request for $1,600,000.00 in Federal funds and a City match of 20% or approximately $400,000.00.
Engineering and Construction staff recommends execution of the resolution requesting programming of INCOG Transportation Alternatives Program Funds for FFY 2025-2026.
