2 A CONVERSATION WITH SECRETARY OF TRANSPORTATION GARY RIDLEY By Rick J. Moore

Gary Ridley, who spent 44 years working for the Oklahoma Department of Transportation, was appointed Secretary of Transportation by Governor in May 2009. He was reappointed to that position by Governor after her election in November 2010. Since August 2001 Ridley has been Director of the Oklahoma Department of Transportation and in October 2009 he took on additional responsibilities as Director of the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority. He retired from both of these positions in March 2013, but stayed on as Secretary of Transportation.

Ridley’s journey up through the ranks provided him with first-hand insights into the whole spectrum of department operations. His ODOT service dates back to 1965, when he joined the department as an equipment operator. He moved up to maintenance superintendent at Kingfisher in 1970 and traffic superintendent at Perry in 1979.

In 1983 he became field maintenance engineer at Perry then advanced to Division Five Maintenance Engineer at Clinton in 1986. He became Division Engineer at Clinton in 1995. He was named Assistant Director

Continued on page 4 3 Continued from page 3 for Operations in January 2001 before becoming ODOT Director in August.

Ridley worked with the state Legislature when it passed several landmark pieces of legislation to improve transportation funding. At the same time, he worked to conduct programming in a sound, businesslike fashion absent political influences to ensure increased funding is spent prudently.

During his tenure, the number of bad bridges has been reduced and safety features, such as life-saving cable barriers, have become commonplace on Oklahoma’s highways.

Ridley also improved the process of preparing the department’s eight- year Construction Work Plan. With funding increases for transportation, he was able to firm-up commitments made in the fiscally constrained plan, particularly those during the first three years. He also created ODOT’s four-year Asset Preservation Plan aimed at maximizing the life of Oklahoma’s infrastructure.

At the national level, he chaired the committee that celebrated the 50th Anniversary of the interstate highway system, and he has been asked to testify to Congress on several occasions about the challenges faced by state transportation officials.

Ridley is a native of Chicago and a registered Professional Engineer. He and his wife, Eula, live in Yukon and have two grown children, Daphne and Joe and four grandchildren.

Earlier this year, I sat down with Secretary Ridley to talk about turnpikes and here is part of that conversation:

Back in the 1940’s, the only road that you had to get from Tulsa to Oklahoma City was Highway 66, and it was probably about a 3 ½ hours or longer drive. The Highway Department, as it was known then, didn’t have the funds to be able to build a new highway. So the Legislature at the time, and the people pushed for a toll facility that would be built, and it could be done in a hurry, and only the people who would use it would pay for it. We were the third state in the Union to have a State-sponsored toll facility. Now there are 34 states that have toll facilities, because they have come up with that same problem of funding, not having the money to build the roads they need. How many times have you heard people say that once the turnpike was paid off, it was supposed to be a free road forever, and they are still yet charging tolls? Well, when the first one was built, that was the idea. Continued on page 7 4 Let Us Partner With You On Your Next Project

6 Continued from page 5 The Turner Turnpike was done first, and shortly thereafter, people said this is a great deal, and we would like to have one that goes from Tulsa to Miami. It was called the Will Rogers Turnpike, but it wouldn’t stand on its own by generating enough money to pay its debts, so they did a referendum in 1954, and it went to a vote of the people and asked if the people were willing to look at this as a statewide system and not an individual system, thereby allowing you to cross pledge funds from one toll road to help bolster the others. And by a pretty wide margin, the people approved the ballot to do that, because they had seen the Turner and they had seen what it was doing, so it was approved by a vote of the people.

Now I am not going to tell you that we didn’t make some mistakes between then and now, but over the last 2 to 3 decades, the roads we have built – the Creek and the Kilpatrick – have all been done and never would have happened had you not been able to cross pledge and look at it as a whole system. The money generated off the system helps support whatever you build. Now, you have to be careful that you are not building things that are not necessary, and that’s not needed, but I think that for the most part, people over the last several decades, would agree that the things built were certainly needed.

Turnpikes are totally self-sufficient; there are no tax dollars paid on the turnpikes. They are built and maintained and operated simply by the tolls. The tolls on our turnpikes in Oklahoma are roughly 59% below the national average per mile. If you have driven in Dallas, and paid the cost of driving 4 miles in Dallas, you can compare that favorably to driving 30 or 40 miles in Oklahoma on the Kilpatrick. There are a couple of reasons for that difference, one is that the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority has had good management over the years and hasn’t done anything foolish or wasted money. They have been good businessmen and women, and secondly, we haven’t taken money from the tolls and used it to bolster other parts of the government, as they have in some other states around the country.

When you drive on a turnpike, it ought to be a better facility because you are paying a premium for use of that road. It ought to provide you a Continued on page 9 7 Waddell & Reed, Inc. 1684 SW 86th Suite C Oklahoma City, OK 73159

8 Continued from page 7 service, it ought to be convenient for you, it ought to be fast, and it ought to be safe. If you are waiting in traffic and paying a toll, that is not a good thing. If it is not convenient for you, then you are not going to use it. And if it is not well-maintained, then you are not going to use it. So you ought to have a little higher class of facility, and I think you do, when you drive on an Oklahoma toll facility as opposed to an ODOT facility, because ODOT just don’t have enough money to be able to maintain it to the same standards. Another thing a lot of people don’t realize is that the turnpike has about 120 troopers on it, and you may experience a visit with one of them on a turnpike, because the turnpike authority pays for that. It pays for their cars, their guns, their bullets, uniforms, so there is a law enforcement presence that is a state police force, which the State of Oklahoma does not have to pay for out of our tax dollars. The OTA pays for that out of tolls. It is the ultimate user tax, if you don’t use the turnpike, you don’t pay for it. There is always another route if you don’t like the turnpikes, if you don’t like taking the turnpike from OKC to Tulsa or vice versa, you can always take Route 66.

As your OMCA members know, from time to time we at the Oklahoma Department of Transportation try to evaluate and look at the Oklahoma highway system holistically. We try and look at where our needs are today, and more importantly, where our needs are for the future, and what do we need to do to improve the highway system, knowing full well that ODOT doesn’t have the funds to be able to build brand new highways or routes. They have enough trouble just barely taking care of the total highway miles they have, and consequently sometimes, as it is right now, we rely on the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority to help provide needed projects that will help the over congested, or soon to be over congested, ODOT facilities; the part that the Department takes care of, as well as, quite frankly, the city street systems, because we pull traffic off the city street systems. A prime example would be the Kilpatrick Turnpike, where we are pulling traffic off of the east/west city streets systems in Oklahoma City to travel the Kilpatrick.

Continued on page 10 9 Continued from page 9 Over the last couple of years, I have been looking at a trend that has been taking place, especially here in the Oklahoma City metropolitan area. You may have heard that the Governor recently made an announcement of a rather substantial turnpike package that does several things: First thing it does is on the H.E. Bailey Turnpike and the Muskogee Turnpike, it rebuilds part of the roadway sections at the most heavily traveled areas.

On the H.E. Bailey, it’s the section right there as you leave the Tri-City Area up at the northeast end of the Bailey. That first eight miles is really in bad shape. The other thing on the Bailey is that we have some old antiquated toll-collecting facilities, the old “toll closets”. When we put the Pikepass in, we retro fitted the existing facilities and consequently you have a Pikepass, but you still almost have to stop in order to pay your toll, and at the same time you create a backup that is always a concern for us, and we’ll talk a little more about that later. Where we have Interstate type traffic, where you start having a backup for whatever reason, those are some of the more dangerous sections that we have had, and we have certainly had some horrific accidents because of that backup bottleneck. So, part of the package is to rebuild eight miles of the H.E. Bailey, and replace that antiquated toll system with a new modern one, similar to what we have on the Kilpatrick, so that will help greatly. Altogether, that’s about $36 million between the two projects.

Over at Muskogee, a similar scenario there, we have pavement that has been down ever since the toll facility was built, and it’s that section from right there where you come in from Tulsa right at the northwest side of the Muskogee Turnpike, and goes down to tie into the new section that we put in a few years ago. It’s about a nine mile long job, and it will be somewhere around $30 million. It also has a “toll closet” that is antiquated there at Muskogee, so we are going to replace it, and it will be about a $12 million project. So those two projects are a part of the package.

The other part is a project up in Tulsa where we have made an offer to partner with the City of Tulsa and INCOG (Indian Nations Council of Governments) to help them make the Gilcrease more usable. 10 They have been working on it for quite a while, and the idea was to build an interchange at Hwy 412 and put bridges across the River and tie onto 21st Street. We have looked at that for the last four or five years, and it was thought that the Turnpike Authority could build that as a stand-alone turnpike that would eventually become a property of the City. There was some concern that even with our traffic studies that we would put more money into it than what we were saying, so what my recommendation would be, would be to build something we call “Evergreen” that way, if it generated more tolls than what we anticipate, we can always use that to retire more debt and add onto it, so it could be self-perpetuating. Again, it would be a turnpike that would be stand-alone. Since the announcement has come up, the City of Tulsa and INCOG have wanted to expand the roll of the turnpike on that facility, so school is still out on what exactly we are going to do there, but our intent is to be a willing partner and try to make that happen, because we know it is important to the City of Tulsa.

The other thing that we are doing is something that hasn’t been done before. The Turner Turnpike was the first turnpike built in Oklahoma, and I think anybody that drives it sees that it was good 60 years ago when it opened in 1953, and in fact, it was state-of-the-art then, but certainly not now. So, we are going to start to rebuild the Turner Turnpike, beginning up at the northeast end, which is the highest volume traffic that we have on it, and it is also the area that has the highest frequency of accidents. The new road will have 6 lanes rather than the 4 it currently has, and it will be fully lit. It will look almost exactly like the Kilpatrick Turnpike between Eastern and MacArthur in Oklahoma City. So it will be fully lit, have wide lanes – with lanes for trucks to travel on and light vehicles can pass. So, it will be, again, a state-of-the-art facility like it was 60 years ago but in today’s climate.

That will be the start of rebuilding the two major turnpikes – the Turner and the Will Rogers. They are both antiquated and need new work. Now people may ask how long it will be before we have this all done. It is my belief that it will probably take 20 years to finish, if we start now. If we wait a while, it may take longer. The first section is about a 24 mile section, and we will not have it under construction all at the same time. We challenged our designers by saying that we know what it is like when we put all the traffic in one lane, so we told them that we need to keep two lanes in both directions open at all times during construction, which makes it a little more of a challenge, and probably a little more expensive to build, but it will be worth it in order to keep four lanes flowing all the time. We did something similar on I-40 on the west side of Oklahoma City. We hope to see a contract let in 2017.

Some people are asking why we need to do what we Luckinbill.com: are doing, so let’s talk about that. When you step back and look at Mechanical Construction Contracting Oklahoma City, this is a metropolitan area of about 1.1 million people. Visit us at Luckinbill.com In about 20 or 25 years, it will grow to about 1.6 million people. So keep Utility Contracting that in mind, we are talking about a 40% growth in population, which will bring about substantial growth in vehicle traffic. When we started Luckinbill is Oklahoma’s premier state- Coatings Division to look at the OKC metro area, we saw that there are only two major wide commercial heating, ventilation, air Fire Protection/Suppression Design, north/south, east/west interchanges. Now think about that, you had 1.1 million people in the metro area and you only have 2 major north/ conditioning, plumbing, and electrical Installation, Inspection, and Repair south, east/west interchanges. They are at I-35 and I-40, and those two service contractor. Our high performance interchanges offset each other because traffic backs up at those two standards ensure you save money on interchanges every day, so it functions as only one interchange.

• 24 hours a day/7 days a week/365 days a year service availability When we started rebuilding I-35 in 1979, and I know it was then because I was there, we knew we had to rebuild it because it had 60,000 aadt (annual average daily traffic) on it. Thirty-five years later, we are building the last section, and today, that same section that had 60,000 aadt now has 140,000 aadt. Twenty years from now, that count will be well over 200,000 aadt, so anybody that travels on I-35 from Norman to Oklahoma City every day, that 20 minute drive sometimes is an hour, and could be longer than that if someone has a flat tire on the side of the road, or a wreck, because there is nowhere else to go, you are just there. So if this grows by 30%, it will be well over 200,000 aadt, and we cannot

Continued on page 14 13 Continued from page 13 widen I-35 going south any more to handle that traffic increase. We would wipe out all of the businesses south of I-40 in OKC, in Moore, and even part of them in Norman, there is just no room to do anything else.

So over at I-44 it is similar, we have the highest volume of traffic in the State of Oklahoma right near the State Fairgrounds just north of I-40 on I-44. It 160,000 vehicles this year. That will grow over the next twenty years to probably around 240,000 to 250,000 vehicles per day. That’s one leg of an interchange, 140,000 on one leg and 160,000 on the other leg, when those go over 200,000 vehicles per day, now you have the same kind of traffic as they have in Los Angeles, Houston, Atlanta and Dallas. That’s the kind of traffic volumes they have in those cities. Somehow, we have to figure out a reliever route that will provide us more north/south, east/west interchanges, and relieve some of the traffic that comes into Oklahoma City, possibly some of the through traffic or at least some of the local traffic that could migrate some other way than traveling through these two north/south, east/west interchanges.

Our plan, “The Driving Forward Plan” would be to extend the Kilpatrick down to SH 152 on the west side, and that enables a way to get away from that interchange by coming that way and going out. ODOT has a problem with backups on what is called Airport Road, but it is underutilized, so we will need to do some work there by adding additional lanes between the two junctions and add an additional lane on I-44 down to the river. That will give us some relief down there, where people can go hit SH62 and go south with four lanes.

Over on the east side, we have to figure out a way that we can tie I-40 to I-44. If you think about Oklahoma City, there are no north/south roads east of I-35. I-35 is the furthest east, north/south road. Somehow, we have to come up with a route that goes north and hits I-44 on the east side. This will give us a reliever for the traffic coming out of the Norman/ Moore area that wants to go to Tulsa; can come up north, and hit this new north/south road from I-240 to I-44. It will allow the people on the 14 east side to travel more freely to Tulsa. Now we have some challenges out there. People moved out there to get away from traffic, and now, low and behold, we are coming out there. But they have already got a lot of traffic on those section line roads out there, so the turnpike, if built properly, and the interchanges are in the right places, can help alleviate some of the local traffic. And if they so desire, we would be glad to acquire enough right-of-way to put frontage roads there, where they can have frontage roads to be developed if they desire. But our main focus is the fact that we have so much congestion, and that what we are seeing twenty years from now, will be nothing like it is now. Congestion breeds accidents.

These projects will be about $190 million on the west side and $300 million on the east side respectively, and will relieve congestion in some high traffic and accident areas.

We are pretty blessed in Oklahoma by having good contractors who for the most part are family-owned, locally owned companies who go to church here and whose kids go to school here in their community, and are not fly-by-night, in-and-out companies, these are solid people who do good quality work.

15 PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP A SUCCESS AS I-40 RADIO RD. INTERCHANGE OPENS IN EL RENO Oklahoma Secretary of Commerce and Tourism Deby Snodgrass joined officials Thursday from the energy industry, the City of El Reno and Oklahoma Department of Transportation to mark the completion of a historic public-private partnership to construct a new I-40 interchange at Radio Rd. in El Reno. In 2012, Chesapeake Energy Corp. of Oklahoma City announced it would pay the state’s portion of construction costs and secure the right-of-way necessary to add new interstate access in the growing area.

Gov. Mary Fallin praised the completion of the project.

“Thanks to the partnership between Chesapeake Energy, the City of El Reno and ODOT, we’ve addressed another bridge and provided interstate access that will benefit businesses and drivers,” Fallin said. “Highway access is one of the top-rated factors by businesses when looking to invest in a new location, so this interchange will help Oklahoma attract new companies and new jobs.”

16 Continued from page 15

The $17 million project included reconstruction and widening of the existing Radio Rd. bridge over I-40 and adding new on- and off-ramps to provide interstate access. Work began in November 2015 and is nearing completion. A companion project by the City of El Reno widened Radio Rd. between I-40 and SH-66 to accommodate traffic using the new interchange.

“Enhancing infrastructure is a key component of meeting the state’s ongoing goal of creating more and better jobs for Oklahomans,” Snodgrass said. “The new interchange will serve as a draw for future development to the surrounding area, providing new economic opportunities.” Continued on page 18

17 Continued from page 17 Snodgrass was joined by City of El Reno Mayor Matt White, Seventy Seven Energy Corp. Chief Executive Officer Jerry Winchester, Secretary of Transportation Gary Ridley and ODOT Executive Director Mike Patterson. Seventy Seven Energy is a spin-off of Chesapeake Energy and owns several companies on Radio Rd., including Performance Technologies, Nomac Drilling and Great Plains Oilfield Rental.

“We saw this project as an investment in the future of Oklahoma’s energy industry,” Winchester said. “This new interstate access at Radio Rd. is a huge benefit to our companies and opens the door to expansion in the future.”

Adding the interchange also enhances safety for motorists entering and exiting El Reno.

“The I-40 interchange at Radio Rd. will help remove heavy truck traffic from SH-66 and other city streets in El Reno and provide direct access to this growing commercial area. This will significantly improve motorist safety,” White said. “Our city is proud to work with the state and Seventy Seven Energy to realize this major infrastructure improvement.”

The Radio Rd. interchange is the newest access point added to I-40 since the John Kilpatrick Turnpike connection near Yukon was built by the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority in the early 2000s. In general, it is rare for state DOTs to add new interstate access due to the rigorous federal approval process and construction cost.

“Adding a new interchange to I-40 would have ordinarily been beyond the financial resources available to ODOT,” Patterson said. “Chesapeake Energy created a challenge and an opportunity, but they also brought the solution by providing the matching funds and right-of-way necessary to make this project a reality.”

I appreciate the confidence placed in me by my Republican colleagues and I look forward to working with each of them to make Oklahoma a stronger and more prosperous state,” Schulz said. “The challenges we face look overwhelming at times, but we can overcome them all by working together. Senate Republicans are serious about working toward long-term solutions and I know the enthusiasm, expertise, and experience of the men and women in this caucus will help us make Oklahoma stronger.”

Senate Republicans named Schulz President Pro Tem-designate in April. This vote allowed the 13 freshmen members of the Senate Republican Caucus the chance to vote in leadership elections.

Schulz previously served as Floor Leader of the Senate, a position he has held since 2011. He was first elected to the Senate in 2006 in a special election. The Senate will organize in January, at which time the Pro Tem will be officially elected by the entire Senate, and rules for the 2017 session will be passed.

Schulz announces Senate leadership appointments

Schulz announced two appointments to key leadership positions in the Senate. He has named Sen. Greg Treat, R-Oklahoma City, as Floor Leader.

We face some big challenges but Senate Republicans are ready and look forward to offering up ideas that will help us reach that brighter future,” Treat said. “I’m honored that Pro Tem Schulz would appoint me to serve as Floor Leader, and I look forward to working with him and my Senate colleagues on bold ideas to lead our state Senator Greg Treat forward.” Schulz named Sen. , R-Porter, as chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee. David is the first woman in the history of the Senate to be named to that position.

“Despite our recent and persistent budget challenges, there are real opportunities for Senator Kim David Continued on page 34

43 SEN. FLOYD RECEIVES 2016 ELECTED WOMEN OF EXCELLENCE AWARD The National Foundation for Women Legislators (NFWL) recently named Sen. Kay Floyd as a 2016 Elected Women of Excellence Award winner. The award was established in 2013 as part of NFWL’s 75th Anniversary Celebration in order to honor the hard work and dedication of women leaders from across the country.

“Receiving this award is a tremendous honor. I’m proud of the work my fellow female legislators and I have done to better represent the voices of Senator Kay Floyd women in Oklahoma. We have fought to improve the quality of life for Oklahoma families and better protect our state’s children and victims of domestic abuse,” said Floyd, D-Oklahoma City. “Unfortunately, there still aren’t many of us in the state legislature but women are making great strides in government and I hope more will for office and continue our work.”

Floyd brought nearly 30 years of legal experience when she was elected to the House of Representatives in 2012. During her legal career, she served both in private practice and public as an Assistant Attorney General and as the youngest female in state history to be appointed as an Administrative Law Judge. She has been a tireless advocate for families, children and victims of domestic abuse.

The 2016 Women of Excellence winners were presented with their awards at the Toast to the Women of Excellence ceremony at the Loews Portofino Bay Hotel on Wed., Nov. 16th, during the 2016 Annual Conference in Orlando, Florida.

“We are thrilled to acknowledge these women,” remarks NFWL Chair and Delaware Representative, Helene Keeley. “They showcase the strong leadership qualities, focused work ethic, and determination that we try to instill in young women across the nation, and deserve to be recognized for their tremendous efforts.”

44 CONSTRUCTION FATALITIES IN OKLAHOMA By Jorge Delucca, OSHA Compliance Assistance Specialist

Construction is an industry with one of the largest amounts of fatalities nationwide. According to the latest data from the Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were 937 fatalities out of a total of 4, 836 fatalities from all industries in 2015. This is the largest number of construction fatalities since 2007. The “Construction Fatal Four”: falls, electrocution, struck by object, and caught-in/between were responsible for more than half (57.6%) of construction worker deaths in the nation. Jorge Delucca In Oklahoma, OSHA investigated several construction fatal incidents. Here is a summary of the incidents:

At a paving operation, a dump truck was dumping asphalt into a paving machine when it contacted an overhead power line. An employee in contact with the paving machine was electrocuted. A week later, at a dump site, a dump truck driver raised the bed of a dump truck to unload construction waste. As the material emptied the bed came in contact with an overhead power line. The driver, standing outside of the truck, attempted to reenter the truck and was electrocuted. OSHA requires that the employer posts signs warning truck drivers of overhead lines.

An employee walking below rigging/lifting operations was struck and killed by a wooden guardrail after it became dislodged from its location when a tagline became entangled with the guardrail and fell four stories striking the employee below.

An employee of a trenching contractor was installing a sewer line in a trench approximately 21 feet deep with vertical walls and no protective system in place. The trench collapsed, burying the employee under the soil. OSHA requires that, in trenches or excavations five or more feet deep, trench boxes, or hydraulic jacks, or sloping of the walls be used to prevent cave-ins. Trenches 20 feet deep or greater require that the protective system be designed by a registered professional engineer or be based on tabulated data prepared and/or approved by a registered professional engineer.

Continued on page 46 45 Continued from page 45 An employee was electrocuted while working from the roof of a metal building that was being installed. The employee stood up and contacted a low hanging power line. OSHA requires that employees stay a safe minimal approach distance from power lines. When this is not feasible, either de-energizing the power line or having a qualified electrician cover the power lines with an electrical insulating blanket, sleeve or insulating device is necessary.

An employee fell through a skylight while performing reroofing work on a building. The employee was not using fall protection and the skylight was not protected as required by OSHA.

Employee was repairing a retaining wall when he fell suffering head injuries that resulted in death.

A front end loader with forklift tines was being used to load a concrete truck mixer drum. The loader operator pushed the drum against a concrete wall to pick up the drum. The operator of the loader did not see the victim behind the drum. The victim was crushed between the drum and a wall. This demonstrates the need for spotters while handling large loads with heavy equipment and an increased situational awareness.

A construction worker succumbed due to a heat-related illness while working at a chemical plant. OSHA requires employers to educate workers in the symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke, and precautions such as drinking water approximately every 15 minutes and allowing 46 frequent short breaks in the shade to prevent heat-related illnesses, wearing light colored clothing that will reflect heat, and avoiding drinks with caffeine or alcohol that can cause dehydration.

The operator of a truck crane was setting a precast concrete communication vault into position in the excavation when the wall of the excavation caved away under the crane outrigger. The operator fell into the excavation and was struck by a manhole ring. Employers must ensure that there are sufficient ground conditions to support the crane. Outriggers are required to be fully extended and the load completely transferred from the truck tires to the crane outriggers.

A worker fell from a dock at Grand Lake and drowned while performing duties for a dock repair service near Grove, OK. When working over water, workers must be provided with life vests.

An employee fell approximately 20 ft. from an adjustable height scaffold. While lowering the scaffold, the guardrail dislodged and fell and the employee fell also.

An employee fell approximately 14 stories from a building under construction when the scissor lift he was operating dropped from the 14th floor. This case is still under investigation.

Training in construction safety is critical to prevent fatal accidents. Superintendents and foremen need to periodically inspect the job site to ensure workers are in compliance with safety rules. OSHA has construction safety outreach materials in its web site osha.gov/ publications and Construction E-tools. You can call the OSHA Oklahoma City Area Office at 405-278-9560 for more information.

The majority of projects in the 2008 Fix Our Streets program have been completed, and work is well under way on street projects approved in 2013 for the Improve Our Tulsa program. This year’s mild weather through November provided a wider window for construction work to be completed or progress. FIX OUR STREETS In 2008, Tulsa voters approved $451.6 million in General Obligation Bond and Third Penny Sales Tax funds for the Fix Our Streets program. Of the total 137 Fix Our Streets projects, 110 projects - or 80 percent - are completed with construction. Seventeen of the projects are under construction, and 10 are pending advertisement as soon as right-of-way acquisition and utility relocations are completed. IMPROVE OUR TULSA When Tulsa voters were asked to renew General Obligation Bonds and the Third Penny Sales Tax for capital improvements in 2013, many Fix Our Streets projects were complete or well under way. Voters passed Improve Our Tulsa, which included issuance of $355 million in General Obligation Bonds for street and bridge improvements and a $563.7 million extension of the Third Penny Sales Tax, of which $270 million goes to fund more street and transportation projects.

Improve Our Tulsa General Obligation Bonds have funded 87 street projects. Seventy-nine of those projects have been funded for design, and 42 have been funded for construction through three of six bond issues. Of the 79 projects funded for design, 48 are completed with design. Of the 42 projects funded for construction, two are completed with construction - these are neighborhood street rehabilitation projects. Sixteen of the projects are under construction and 21 of the projects are pending advertisement as soon as right-of-way acquisition and utility relocations are completed.

For the Improve Our Tulsa street projects funded with the Third Penny Sales Tax: 34 arterial projects have received design funding and are in progress with design. Multi-Modal Mobility Studies are running in front of final design of the arterial projects. There are currently 22 active Multi-Modal Mobility Studies in various stages of completion going on throughout the city.

52 Of the 34 arterial projects in design, five are complete and 11 are at the 90-percent stage with completion dependent on Multi-Modal Mobility Studies. Two are under construction: Riverside Drive, 24th Street to 33rd Place, and the East 61st Street and South Sheridan Road intersection – to begin in January 2017. We currently have six more scheduled to advertise in 2017.
