Communities Targeted with Transportation Safety Projects Preliminary engineering is underway for the various road safety projects that are being funded with INCOG's $21.2 M Safe Streets and Roads for All grant which was awarded by the Federal Highway Administration in 2022. Safety projects are in Broken Arrow, Jenks, Owasso, Tulsa, Tulsa County, and Wagoner County. The low-cost high impact countermeasures include pavement markings, retroreflective traffic signal backplates, enlarged stop signs with LEDs, guardrails on rural roads, and pedestrian signalization. The City of Tulsa is also installing mid-block crossings on Admiral Place in east Tulsa where there have been numerous pedestrian fatalities and new traffic signals at two freeway interchanges. A website for all the participating jurisdictions has been launched. It includes a listing, maps, and a summary of all the projects funded. Final edits are being made to the update of the Local Road Safety Action Plan also funded through the grant. For more information, contact Braden Cale, Transportation Programs Coordinator at bcale@incog.org or 918-579-9419. |
