Background:
The City of Broken Arrow, in association with the property owners are requesting "Reserve Status" for the statutory right of way along the south section line of Section 35, township 19 north, Range 14 East. This statutory right of way was designated by the Creek nation as a section line for the benefit of the public. However, the alignment of the roadway does not presently follow the section line in this area. The section line road (West Albany Street) curves southward after the intersection of Elm place (west of section line) and then curves back north toward 9th Street (east of section line).
The City of Broken Arrow and property owners, First Baptist Church of Broken Arrow, and White Earth, L.L.C. are requesting the Reserve Status so the right of way may be used as part of existing and future development.
