The studies will examine drainage, the Olive and Tucson intersection and the tradeoffs between adding full lanes and using turn lanes, Ford said. \"One lane of road is very, very expensive,\" she said, arguing the city should avoid overbuilding if a smaller configuration meets long‑term needs.

Councilor Lisa Ford said the design contract alone was \"nearly $550,000,\" a figure she and the host discussed to illustrate present construction and engineering costs. Ford said the work will also include sidewalks and upgrades to water and sewer lines so the city will not need to tear up a rebuilt street soon after construction.

Ford and the host referenced a recent comparison with Olive Avenue between Kenosha and Albany, where staff found intersection turn lanes addressed many problems without widening the whole corridor. Ford said the design work will show what three lanes would accomplish versus five lanes so elected officials can decide without having to return later for costly rework.

The meeting transcript records the council approving the design contract but does not provide a formal vote tally in the remarks captured here. The councilors said additional design and engineering work must be completed before the council decides whether to proceed with a narrower or wider final construction plan.

For background, councilors emphasized being \"intentional\" about rebuilding streets so the city can \"do it right once and not have to redo it,\" and noted the design phase will inform future construction budgeting and scope.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Council Rewind of meetings on May 20, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Broken Arrow City Council approved a design contract for Tucson Street on May 20 to fund engineering studies that will decide whether the rebuilt road should be three lanes or five, Councilor Lisa Ford said.","taxTitle","City Council Meetings, Broken Arrow, Tulsa County, Oklahoma","taxId",69673,"location","Oklahoma","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6639690,"Council meetings move to Mondays in June to allow attendance at \"Tuesdays in the Park\" events",23,449840,473525,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3433926-9e48d9a9de3b9610fbea214f84c02564&start=449&end=473","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3433926-9e48d9a9de3b9610fbea214f84c02564/thumbnail_449840.jpg","/articles/6639690/Oklahoma/Council-meetings-move-to-Mondays-in-June-to-allow-attendance-at-Tuesdays-in-the-Park-events","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6639690-da852a393f78f44a3af8c1dad3fcb1e6/orig.mp4?Expires=1771054422&Signature=lw~DWQRWbWugc-B5TMd1jV5FPfMKv2klkOkbYl14EVfGYVuUuiGQh1uRNdLubJpdlTnu4aRZEUVMEt7jyUG-82NkKfpaSSdVuNJBFFf3~3~-ndZ-J0aU8F1Udjghi1vCQdU8vscv2yyGasaVWwa7F1xPnrNi4H-wmZcpiOEHlWdRGBCBH2ZWB5QrqEAS7jMFEdjQOM~JnJVizleqXnYchLYxoZ2pHm6iKFGJFMi8rjbaNLqkeSVgYlMS2F2OqM0yrkBOqZbukYwUkSu38IsEPenoe9OuhryNVP3auCBnflsGbiT3YBCZLPIryOctpvzybhIylzv456i-BMfkfUFO3A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Broken Arrow council meetings will move to Mondays in June so councilors and the public can attend the city's \"Tuesdays in the Park\" events behind the community center, Councilor Lisa Ford said.

Ford said she and other councilors recognized Kirk Klein, described in the remarks as an unpaid volunteer director, and Paul Garner, whose parents started the program in 1983. Ford recalled working with the program in her previous nonprofit role and said the event provides educational and community value.

\"Kurt says he doesn't really start on it till January, but I can tell you he works on it all year long,\" Ford said, praising Klein's ongoing commitment. She described the weekend event as educational, supported by community volunteers, and well received by families.

The remarks were part of a summary of the council's May 20 meeting; no formal action or funding decision for Camp Bandage was recorded in the meeting excerpt.","Councilor Lisa Ford recognized longtime volunteers Kirk Klein and Paul Garner for their work reviving and running Camp Bandage, a local educational weekend program that Ford said began in 1983 and was later restarted by volunteers.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6639699,"Council adopts new zoning ordinance after multiyear update; ordinance effective July 1",107,233920,341000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3433926-9e48d9a9de3b9610fbea214f84c02564&start=233&end=341","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3433926-9e48d9a9de3b9610fbea214f84c02564/thumbnail_233920.jpg","/articles/6639699/Oklahoma/Council-adopts-new-zoning-ordinance-after-multiyear-update-ordinance-effective-July-1","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6639699-512dceb4ff0833b84ae5aad601802cac/orig.mp4?Expires=1771054422&Signature=Z72nPILc8eSleB-eQIsuEQ~U2Oghweks41mIWaNRYAzjZ0nq2XXVryKQrUMHe~oqJ4Qs9SgWfrEGXPi-YS5FtPHAlxVwKIo-i2UT0ZRRyYKSnvsmB3UImEyX~sR5rmNs6gDNLGaO3KCxAa3i3L9Kyu~Gu3ytE6SxKIyggywVPVLdDuupUZBGORxB4dWtytZVKbr0SoI4TCxjccjdnGuClJegaZPdq5pKTf2iVnLAoNejMYwEB09Y9e5dk02hZrGfV8vaOUsKWkL0B5Xyf4y8mWMYDPBWXgN~-7ZCH2rRGofGCSIaOD3~qZKmx6cmpiVV6igLq4LySvzaNifnoN~kMw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Broken Arrow City Council adopted a new zoning ordinance after a multiyear update, and the ordinance is scheduled to take effect July 1, Councilor Lisa Ford said.

She said staff organized the process and that the final document is extensive — she relayed that staff member Amanda described it as \"over 500 pages.\" Ford said the goal was broad participation so stakeholders would have buy‑in and fewer surprises when development projects move forward.

The transcript excerpt does not include an ordinance number or a formal vote tally from the adoption. Ford said the new rules give the city a consolidated regulatory framework that city leaders expect to use for the foreseeable future, and she noted the ordinance can still be amended after implementation.

Councilor Lisa Ford said the turf work will cover fields 1 and 4; two other fields at the complex already have turf. \"We get a lot of rain, and a lot of times we get it all at once,\" Ford said, noting wet fields frequently delay or cancel games and events. She added the complex is used by multiple schools, including Broken Arrow Public Schools and Union Public Schools, and is available to private schools and community groups.

Ford described the turf as expensive but durable, saying she expects it to \"last about 10 years.\" The meeting transcript refers to the project as part of the 2018 bond program, but the excerpt does not include contract numbers, cost estimates for the turf installation, or a roll‑call vote.
