Background:
The right-of-way acquisition for the 23rd Street, Kenosha to Houston, widening project has been approved for federal Surface Transportation Program (STP) funding, to be cost shared 20%-80% (City-Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT)). The City's contract right-of-way agent, Universal Field Services, has attempted unsuccessfully to negotiate with BZ Properties, LLC, for Parcels 13, 17, and 19, generally located at the east side of 23rd Street north of State Highway 51 in Section 7, Township 18 North, Range 15 East. On March 21, 2017 the City Council approved rental assistance payments and moving costs for the relocation of tenants in Parcel 17, and that payment has been made. In accordance with a February 10, 2014, Project Construction, Maintenance, Utility Relocation, and Right-of-Way Agreement between the Oklahoma Department of Transportation and the City of Broken Arrow, the City will make the right-of-way payments and ODOT will reimburse the City for 80 percent of the cost. The attached Resolution of Necessity No. 1064 recommends that condemnation proceed on Parcels 13, 17, and 19.
Funding for the City's share of the Right of Way cost will be from the 2014 Streets GO Bond.
Cost: To be determined
