Yukon commission: Frisco Road striping finished; ODOT to repave section of Wagner Road
Summary
Commissioners heard updates Aug. 12 that Frisco Road striping is complete, Highway 4 work is wrapping up, and the Oklahoma Department of Transportation will repave about 1,200 feet of Wagner Road; the commission approved July 8 minutes and had no other agenda items.
The Yukon Traffic and Transportation Commission on Aug. 12 heard updates on recent road projects, including the completion of striping on Frisco Road, the nearing finish of work along Highway 4 and an Oklahoma Department of Transportation plan to repave about 1,200 feet of Wagner Road.
Commissioner Adams, who reported on the projects, said, “Frisco Road is done. The striping is complete.” He added that the county had planned a ribbon-cutting ceremony that was being postponed from Thursday to the following Tuesday or Wednesday. Adams also told commissioners that the Highway 4 project crews removed old asphalt and that the speed limit signs on that stretch were returned to normal postings this week.
Adams said the commission has received requests for a traffic signal at the Wagner Road and Highway 4 intersection and that the request has been forwarded to the Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) for study. "They may go ahead and do a study out there," he said, and noted such studies sometimes do not meet signal warrants. He also said a signal at Wilshire and Highway 4 is planned and likely about "another 8, 9 months out." The statements were made during the commission’s general discussion of traffic concerns; no formal action on signals was taken.
Adams said ODOT has agreed to repave roughly 1,200 feet of Wagner Road that was damaged while traffic was diverted during the Highway 4 work. He described that repaving as an asset to local traffic flow but did not provide a start date.
The commission had no visitors and no formal agenda items for the meeting. Commissioners approved the minutes from the July 8 meeting by voice vote; the motion, second and individual vote counts were not specified in the meeting record. The next meeting was scheduled for Sept. 6, and the commission adjourned.
What happened at the meeting was limited to project updates and scheduling; no ordinances, resolutions or contract awards were discussed or voted on during this session.
