The City of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma was awarded a $5.84 million grant in Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) planning funding for the Reconnecting Broken Arrow (RBA): Planning for Multimodal Improvements Project (the RBA Project). The RAISE planning project will allow the City of Broken Arrow to advance a multimodal improvement project along several interconnected corridors in Broken Arrow. Today, this area is divided by an urban freeway, the Broken Arrow Expressway, which is a significant barrier to multimodal travel. Planned improvements in the area include roadway upgrades, new multi-use trails, side paths, sidewalks, bridge and highway interchange configuration changes, ADA accommodations, and other safety enhancements.

There are three primary multimodal and safety enhancements the city will examine through the Reconnecting Broken Arrow Project that include: the construction of sidepaths/multiuse trails along urban arterial corridors (Aspen Avenue, Elm Place, North 9th Street, and West Kenosha Street), roadway and interchange improvements (focused on capacity challenges), and off-street trails/greenways.
