The Main Street Bikeway project 90% construction plans have been submitted by the Oklahoma Department of Transportation and LandPlan Consultants, Inc. for staff review and comment. At this time the Engineering Department desires to present and update the Planning Commission on the project and to answer any questions.
The proposed Main Street Bikeway is planned to begin at Arrowhead Park (East Washington Street & South First Place) and end at East Kenosha Street & North Fourth Street, approximately 1-linear mile. The bikeway will connect neighborhoods, schools, parks, businesses, and The Rose District to a trail corridor, eventually reaching the Liberty Parkway Trail. The project is planned to use signed bike routes in the neighborhood connections to Main Street, creating bike lanes on Main Street, and shared lane markings (sharrows) thru The Rose District.
Being planned is converting the 4 lanes currently on parts of Main Street to 3 lanes and using bike lanes on each side of Main Street, this would be accomplished using striping and signage. In the locations of the bike lanes and locations of vehicles front pull in curbside parking will be converted to vehicles back in curbside parking, for the purpose of safety for the bike lane users. Again, this will not affect The Rose District, since the bike route is planned to be a shared lane marking (sharrow) in this area.
Funding for the project is provided as follows:
FY 15-16 INCOG Area Transportation Alternatives Program, $377,928.
City of Broken Arrow 2014 G.O. Bond Funds, Community Trail Network project, $125,976.
