Pavement marking projects set for Sept. 26

Bookmark and Share

This week we received word from the Oklahoma Department of Transportation that four safety striping projects in Logan County are scheduled to begin Monday, Sept. 26. Striping will be applied to nine miles of roadway. These include Pine Street between Industrial and Prairie Grove, Simmons between Broadway and Bryant, Douglas from Waterloo to Forrest Hills, and Pine between Seward and Charter Oak.

Earlier this year, commission districts one and two submitted applications to the Association of Central Oklahoma Governments (ACOG), asking that these projects be included in the 2011 Transportation Improvement Program for urbanized areas. ACOG’s Transportation Committee and Board of Directors both approved the requests and the projects went to bid through ODOT in July. Action Safety Supply Co. was low bidder, at $13,656.20 for the combined projects.

No match is required from the county for these improvements, since safety projects are 100% federally funded. However, only roads classified by the Federal Highway Department as major collectors qualify for funding. Please exercise extra caution through these areas as contractors begin their work next
week.

Mark Sharpton – Commissioner – District 1
