Proposed FY 2026 Project- City of Owasso:
Based on materials provided to staff by INCOG, it appears that the city now has a number of auto -
qualifying Low -to -Moderate Income Census Tracts eligible for funding without the need to conduct
qualifying surveys. One such Census Tract, Tract 58.01, covers the majority of the Original Town
area of the city and contains one of the City's busiest parks- Rayola Park.
Rayola Park is immediately adjacent to four (4) platted residential subdivisions and is home to a
number of amenities, including a playground, splash pad, pickleball court, YMCA location, and an
extensive paved walking trail. Staff is proposing a number of pedestrian improvements within and
around Rayola Park, within Census Tract 58.01, as the proposed project for the 2026 CDBG grant
cycle.
Specifically, the following two major improvements would be conducted as a part of this project, if
funding is awarded-
• A signalized pedestrian crossing, in the form of a high -intensity activated crosswalk beacon
(HAWK beacon), is being proposed at the intersection of North Main Street and 8th Street.
o This will help provide a safer experience for those on foot, on wheels, or otherwise,
as they navigate the crossing along Main Street.
o 8th Street was chosen as the location as it provides a mid -block crossing on the
north side of Main Street, adjacent to a number of residential neighborhoods.
Additionally, 8th Street lines up with the northern edge of Rayola Park, meaning a
large amount of pedestrian traffic has been anecdotally observed at this location.
• 2,299 linear feet (259 square yards) of sidewalks within Rayola Park are proposed to be
replaced, specifically in places where they have been eroded by the adjacent creek.
o This will not only help bring the walking trails within Rayola Park closer to
compliance with ADA requirements, it will also provide a safe and more pleasant
experience for those who are traversing the park by eliminating a number of trip -
hazards.
o The sidewalks segments marked for replacement were identified via a walk audit,
conducted by Public Works and Community Development staff. Sidewalk segments
in need of repair- mainly those with large cracks or those that are no longer level
with adjacent panels- were surveyed and are depicted on the attached map.
