City staff and police said municipal court actions and clean‑up efforts have begun, and the council took no immediate action pending further input from residents.

City staff said three families raised concerns about children playing in the street and related trash and loitering. City officials reported that court orders were issued the previous day to address property conditions and that the city had started visual enforcement and clean‑up in the area. \"Action was taken yesterday in court to get the ball moving on that, get those homes cleaned up, get those properties cleaned up,\" a staff speaker said.

Councilors suggested increased patrols and possible small traffic calming measures such as speed bumps, noting cost and suitability concerns for higher‑speed roads. One councilor proposed no action for now and asked staff to invite the residents back to a meeting; the council approved taking no action at the current meeting and will address the issue when residents can attend.

The council did not adopt ordinances or order capital work; staff said they will continue code enforcement and outreach with residents and the municipal court process.","Councilors heard that municipal court actions and city clean‑up are underway at North Whitaker; residents asked for patrols and speed mitigation, and council deferred further action until residents can attend.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6581612,"County commissioner, councilors discuss fixes for congested South Elliot/510 intersection; engineering study requested",1039,1791000,2830000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3091005-1f1a3705aba804a01bebc67f1c773f2f&start=1791&end=2830","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3091005-1f1a3705aba804a01bebc67f1c773f2f/thumbnail_1791000.jpg","/articles/6581612/Pryor-Creek/Mayes-County/Oklahoma/County-commissioner-councilors-discuss-fixes-for-congested-South-Elliot510-intersection-engineering-study-requested","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6581612-22f76f1936fb3113c174a67998a38067/orig.mp4?Expires=1771175555&Signature=YiOwYoguSgWiPldmQCfwX8L7CLKRJUdv-VXyBUq9ghlwrK1X1PoqRsr4ox7uJz0jT-MJyMm~4SBUqB7Z~51j-a5MJkZtRhzV21dSmCny3rBLdrTnKyucYyow1KWeZgh3QfaFSztoNT4~BmR0Igzb~HHNqbZntJTmWj09sFBclrB~w-ogKsMsCr8iN93~0vFTNum778q~qkqDVduK3ZrRfFrnd6dMZ8xtMikzMMTzEq55Ql6ciNQC1WVgi1fezmpdCsl6raumbd71h863VeEc-9BeH1uoBw~5YtRYU6Yj8GfezMbyoPj4e8gkXy1o1UsAUKVlAqht-KAsgZZlx2Jncw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Bridal Creek councilors and County Commissioner Grossman discussed several short‑ and long‑term options to address congestion and visibility problems at the intersection where South Elliot meets Section Line Road (510). No council action was taken; staff and the county will pursue a traffic engineer’s input.

Commissioner Grossman opened by describing heavy congestion and limited sight lines at the curve where traffic from 510 meets South Elliot. He proposed several interim measures including removing one stop sign to keep traffic flowing on Elliot and adding a yield sign or a stop sign at the curve coming from 510. \"If you could get them slowed down and keep traffic moving on Elliott, my question is would that be an improvement?\" he asked.

Councilors and staff raised concerns about each alternative. One staff speaker cautioned that removing stop control could create congestion and that a traffic signal would be expensive (an estimate of about $400,000 was cited). Others suggested a four‑way stop, adding a stop sign on the curve with flashing beacons, or reconfiguring the road to create a dedicated turn lane or a T intersection that would prioritize Elliot through‑traffic.

Several speakers recommended first obtaining a professional traffic study to collect peak‑hour counts (the group identified evening commute times as the peak) and to model alternatives. \"You may need to increase your radius of your curves because you're gonna have people with trucks and trailers,\" one participant said, noting potential conflicts with existing utilities including a large cone valve that controls part of the water supply and could limit reconstruction options.

Commissioners and councilors also discussed longer‑range options including a signalized intersection or a roundabout should development in the area proceed. County, city and Cherokee Nation coordination was suggested for larger interventions. The council directed staff to contact the traffic engineer (Dale or Burke were name‑checked) to see whether prior plans or studies already exist and to get a price for a study. No ordinance or permanent change was approved at the meeting.","Commissioner Grossman and councilors debated short‑ and long‑term fixes for the South Elliot/Section Line (510) intersection; immediate options include stop signs, flashing warnings or a traffic study to develop a redesign.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6581616,"Engineers recommend triple‑pipe underground design for South Elliot Street drainage; council to review final plan",287,1451000,1738000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3091005-1f1a3705aba804a01bebc67f1c773f2f&start=1451&end=1738","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3091005-1f1a3705aba804a01bebc67f1c773f2f/thumbnail_1451000.jpg","/articles/6581616/Pryor-Creek/Mayes-County/Oklahoma/Engineers-recommend-triplepipe-underground-design-for-South-Elliot-Street-drainage-council-to-review-final-plan","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6581616-26baa6730cc3fdf60ce553da14dc34b6/orig.mp4?Expires=1771175555&Signature=FyKGOxwBtXK6jiVlYQiKWjo9OGZ6k7vnIa~ve6dex9Dj5-c8ju1~mb~zPIPUv7eD74P4cCnml7O7blDE1PR7HNWernaNB-g1x2sbvjE6b3g~zfLYaIbITGc0mGYVmIkwqysHD2IWroKZT1wQZafkzq6Z4c4Kp1yiABs5PCLWYTiiE9HDwrYZIY5ynWlI6RdZCHpiN6veFV0SjGqEEQDu8ztlwy8daDXpICpSml5lfC9lUq-njTWCEmbZagg3d15yjPoEsh4OiXl2vdHEFyjWaXV~isyA4klr1LJAIdUHFQRjqZ4u47Dd1iSgjXnQlOnCr~ljaHQlzmsyCJqRZsYtdQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City engineers have proposed replacing the existing open ditch on South Elliot Street with a buried multi‑pipe system to increase flow capacity and allow grading and covers where homeowners and utilities limit open channels.

Public works staff described preliminary engineering that would use three metal (corrugated) oval pipes in parallel where larger single‑poly pipes are not available in the required oval shape. \"They don't make the oval in poly, so they would have to be back to the metal,\" one staff speaker said. The plan would run three pipes where needed and step down to two then one as the flow decreases northward.

Staff said existing underground utilities — a 16‑inch water main and a 6‑inch gas main — generally will not need to be relocated, though some lateral service lines crossing Tenth, Eleventh and Twelfth streets could require lowering. \"According to Dale, we won't have to move it,\" staff said; the speaker added that crossings that branch off the mains may need adjustment.

Councilors and staff discussed timing and next steps. Staff said engineers were finishing drawings and expected to have a deliverable for the council by the first council meeting in May; one staff speaker said the engineer was \"wrapping it up now.\" Temporary repairs made after recent rains, including placement of a temporary 24‑inch pipe to restore flow where a corrugated section failed, were described as effective during high flows.

No formal action was taken; councilors directed staff to obtain final engineered drawings, cost estimates and to report back to the council. Staff also discussed the tradeoffs between metal and poly pipe — metal being less costly but less preferred — and noted that the project would tie into the school’s existing concrete drainage under Fifteenth Street.

Councilors asked the engineer to confirm whether a visible ditch would remain; staff said the surface would be graded so that the drainage would not create a noticeable ditch in many locations, and that area drains would collect runoff at intervals.","City engineers are moving toward a buried three‑pipe solution to carry stormwater on South Elliot Street; final engineered drawings and cost estimates are forthcoming.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6581621,"Bridal Creek council backs purchase of two‑channel radio repeater, to be paid from FEMA reimbursement funds",1121,304000,1425000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3091005-1f1a3705aba804a01bebc67f1c773f2f&start=304&end=1425","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3091005-1f1a3705aba804a01bebc67f1c773f2f/thumbnail_304000.jpg","/articles/6581621/Pryor-Creek/Mayes-County/Oklahoma/Bridal-Creek-council-backs-purchase-of-twochannel-radio-repeater-to-be-paid-from-FEMA-reimbursement-funds","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6581621-3fa502e4c365cdb6b1f939b8f693e47f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771175555&Signature=J5AdZuDBrhuW1wkgVVgdwd4VbEQTeEUCPkBkYTPriqcfqgOwlsz8VsnPhacJX8zXJ7kdH7Xqy115C5-F5XQ5U6FVb4lAqIbZqcBcE7-9FZqbcxp-pQhXB-mJ~ckvFITHQtsc5h4lZyco87sprM1WZKtDoa9USrIbH8snOcwdAx5WN9HbOJ8hGezYEcDJKx6gO6PErvU2-v6ovA4oRUKCoPbfKl2IHZICyV61dP4rqf67-4ijcl1hqQLGX5ulOyj7nTfFZ8jn~qPcrkCfyD7Cw8Bmcs7SFSItdCQvuxdB6KinLLyHRbxbKYG6fia96E881n-Rh4MttCHWUKd676FcRQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Bridal Creek City Council on April (date not specified) recommended that the council approve the purchase and placement of a two‑channel radio repeater and associated equipment, using money from the city’s FEMA reimbursement account.

City public works staff member \"Buddy\" told the council that Muskogee Communications quoted about $13,004.81 to install a repeater at Substation No. 2 and that the quote did not include handheld radios. \"We got the spot. We'll get — everybody gets their own handhelds,\" Buddy said, adding the city would house the repeater in the substation's climate‑controlled control house. \"We're willing to put it up on our tower,\" he said.

Buddy said the system would be VHF on a two‑channel repeater and that handheld radios would provide backup communications during storms when cell service could be down. \"If we have storms, you knock the cell tower out, we've got handhelds,\" he said.

Councilors asked about alternatives including 800 megahertz systems. A nearby commenter/contractor with experience on 800 systems noted that statewide 800 networks can be expensive, are tightly controlled, and that talk groups are granted selectively. He said truck and handheld 800‑MHz radios often cost much more than VHF units.

Buddy said his team would inventory city vehicles for existing radio compatibility, work with Muskogee Communications on final pricing for handhelds, and return to the council with a single firm figure for approval. He identified the installation quote as being dated April 4 and noted the vendor’s quote was valid for 30 days.

Councilors moved and seconded a recommendation that the full council approve reimbursement of the city’s share of the purchase from the FEMA reimbursement account (account 5062...). The motion carried.

Councilors and staff said the city will also renew its FCC license (a 10‑year renewal) for the channel and coordinate channel assignments so mutual aid is possible in emergencies. The council asked staff to provide final numbers and to coordinate with the city attorney on contracting and invoicing before the purchase is finalized.

The council did not specify exact purchase dates or a final count of handheld radios during the meeting; staff said they expect to present a final number at the next council meeting for formal approval.","Councilors recommended the city partner with Muskogee Communications and place a two‑channel repeater at Substation No. 2, with the purchase to be reimbursed from a FEMA account; staff will return with firm costs including handheld radios.","actionData","errors"]
