116th Street North/] 291h East Avenue Intersection Widening
Date: September 12, 2014
BACKGROUND:
The intersection at 116th Street North /129th East Avenue is owned and maintained by Tulsa
County. It is currently the most heavily traveled unimproved intersection in the Owasso area.
Traffic counts in this area are tabulated below along with the projected counts for 2010 -2013.

116th Street North, once on the state highway system, accommodates heavy residential traffic,
commercial uses, and traffic connecting from US Hwy 169 to US Hwy 75. The traffic control is
currently a flashing yellow east to west and a flashing red north to south. The Oklahoma
Department of Public Safety has documented 75 accidents in the last ten (10) years, with 59
accidents having injuries. For these reasons, the Owasso Capital Improvements Committee listed
the widening of the intersection at 1 16th Street North /12911, East Avenue as a high priority among
potential capital improvements projects.
In 2014, Tulsa County and the City of Owasso agreed to share costs for the engineering design
for the project, right -of -way and eventually the utility relocation. Our teams selected WP Moore,
Inc, to perform the engineering for the widening project. They have prepared a conceptual
plan and preliminary design report that will be submitted to INCOG for FY 2018 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 priority based on a 100 -
point rating system. On August 24, 2014, INCOG began accepting STP funding applications with
a submittal deadline of September 17, 2014.
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 two -years ago, a resolution is necessary in order to
complete the application process.. The 2014 application will request federal funding assistance
for the construction of the roadway improvements. If this project is selected in November 2014,
the funding for construction will be targeted in FY 2018 or sooner, depending on funding
availability.
CONCEPTUAL DESIGN SUMMARY:
Both 11 bah Street North and 129th East Avenue are considered secondary arterials in Owasso. The
intersection is a heavily used roadway and 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 schools, the
St. John's Medical Campus, and the primary shopping district in Owasso.
It is expected that residential and commercial growth north and east of this project (Morrow
Place, commercial centers at the intersection) will increase traffic volumes and continue to
overload the existing two -lane road section. The following table shows existing and future flow
patterns:

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. A right -turn lane will be added where warranted to keep pass- through traffic flowing.
Also, included are sidewalks on each side of the intersection. Based on the conceptual design,
the anticipated cost for construction of the proposed roadway improvements is $2,578,000.
Construction administration (testing, inspection and administration of cost estimates) is equal to
6% of the construction fee.
Tulsa County and staff agreed that paying for Phase I (engineering design, right -of -way and
utility relocations) locally and requesting ODOT funding to contribute to Phase II (construction)
allowed us the best chance of obtaining funding. 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 2014 -09 requesting ODOT to consider the construction
phase of the 11611, Street North/] 291h East Avenue Intersection Widening Project as a candidate
for federal funding assistance through the Surface Transportation Program.
