In 2023, the City of Broken Arrow was awarded $5.84 million from the U.S. Department of Transportation and matched the planning grant with $1.46 million in local funds to study and design a series of multimodal transportation connections near the State Highway 51 corridor in Broken Arrow. Proposed improvements include additional vehicle lanes, intersection improvements, sidewalks, bicycle infrastructure, and a new off-street trail with amenities. The grant provides funding for planning and design; the City will be pursuing additional funding for construction.

The City is hosting a public meeting at Nienhuis Park Community Center at 6 p.m. on April 23rd for citizens to learn more about the findings of the study and provide their input.

Check out the Reconnecting Broken Arrow website where you can interact with a map of the proposals, review a fact sheet, submit a comment, learn about the planning grant, and much more.
