City Of Owasso

City Engineer
Subject: Resolution No. 2013-15 Application for STP Funds
North Garnett Road from E 96th St N to E 106th St N
Date: September 13, 2013
BACKGROUND:
APPROVED BY COUNCIL
SEP 17 Lu,~
Garnett Road from E 961h St N to E 106th St N is currently the heaviest traveled two-lane roadway
segment in Owasso. Traffic counts in this area were tabulated at 14,800 and 15,411 vehicles/day
in 2012 and 2013, respectively. The road, once on the highway system, accommodates heavy
residential traffic, commercial uses, and hospital traffic. For these reasons, the Owasso Capital
Improvements Committee listed the widening of Garnett from E 96th St N to E 106th St N as one of
the highest priorities among potential capital improvements projects.
In October 2012, the City of Owasso contracted with Dewberry Engineers, Inc., to perform the
engineering for the Garnett Widening project. They have prepared a conceptual plan and
preliminary design report that will be submitted to INCOG for FY 2017 Surface Transportation
Program (STP) funds. These funds are made available on an annual basis by the Federal
Highway Administration (FHWA), through the Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT),
for the implementation of eligible transportation improvements in the Tulsa Urbanized Area.
INCOG administers the grant funding and has established a selection process for the distribution
of STP funds. Priority funding is given to projects that meet federal regulations and help advance
the Regional Transportation Plan through safety improvements and to projects that reduce
traffic congestion. Proposed projects are evaluated for eligibility and priorify based on a 100-
point rating system. In August 2013, INCOG began accepting STP funding applications with a
submittal deadline of September 13, 2013.
PROPOSED RESOLUTION FOR CONSTRUCTION PHASE:
Similar to the process utilized in obtaining federal funding assistance for the E 106th St N and N
Garnett Intersection Improvements funded last year, a resolution is necessary in order to
complete the application process. The 2013 application will request federal funding assistance
for the construction of the roadway improvements. If this project is selected in November 2013,
the funding for construction will be targeted in FY 2017 or sooner, depending on funding
availability.
CONCEPTUAL DESIGN SUMMARY:
North Garnett Road Improvements from E 961h St N to E 1061h St N is a primary arterial in Owasso. It
is a heavily used roadway that conveys residential and commercial traffic in the area, as well as
commuter traffic to and from Owasso. This roadway accommodates a large percentage of
local traffic and is significant in the distribution of traffic to and from the Bailey Elementary School
and the primary shopping district in Owasso.
It is expected that residential growth north and east of this project will increase traffic volumes
and continue to overload the existing two-lane road section. The following table shows existing
and future flow patterns:

17,857 / 19,080
The proposed lane configuration is a 5-lane roadway section including 2-lanes in each direction
with a center turn lane to expedite turning movements into the various subdivisions along the
roadway. Also, included are sidewalks on each side of the roadway and dedicated bike lanes
Based on the conceptual design, the anticipated cost for the planning and construction of the
proposed roadway improvements is $7.991 million.
ODOT funding for this project would be through the Surface Transportation Program, which
would fund 80% of eligible construction costs, while the local government funds 20%. Based
upon this information, the following is an estimate of the cost distribution:

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of Resolution No. 2013-15 requesting ODOT to consider the
construction phase of the North Garnett Road Improvements from E 96th St N to E 1061h St N as a
candidate for federal funding assistance through the Surface Transportation Program.
