City staff give status updates on Cleveland widening, trails and neighborhood road repairs
Summary
Public works staff described completed work on 6th Street, near-complete work on 50 Fourth Street, progress and expected completion windows for the Cleveland widening project, Clubhouse Drive repairs, Wagon Trail resurfacing, Garland Road design and several trail projects including Prairie View and Meadowlake-to-base connections.
Enid — City public-works staff provided a status update on a range of street and trail projects, including the Cleveland widening, neighborhood repairs and multi-mile trail connections.
Jason (public works staff) summarized projects that are complete or underway. He said 60 Sixth Street (between Willow and Breckenridge) and the 50 Fourth Street improvements are substantially complete with punch-list items remaining. The Cleveland widening project — the largest discussed — has water-line and drainage work completed in the roadway, the railroad crossing installed and a sequence of remaining drainage-pipe installations planned. Jason said contractors plan to stripe and open the road to four lanes likely next week, with isolated lane closures as finish work continues; the contractor expects to request a final walkthrough in about two months.
Costs and funding: Jason called the Cleveland project “the most expensive road at this point in Enid,” saying the project is about $7,300,000 for roughly 2,000 feet. He said the city contributed “a million plus, probably more than that, 2,000,000 plus,” and that the Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) provided a large portion of funding.
Other projects noted: - Clubhouse Drive: Under construction and about 10% complete at the time of the update, with expected completion in November; a property owner offered to deed a small parcel to the city to extend the project, and staff said a change order and deed will appear on an upcoming meeting agenda. - Wagon Trail (4,400 block): A mill-and-overlay resurfacing project with contract award pending on the consent agenda, after which the project will be scheduled. - Garland Road: In preliminary design, including water-line relocation, drainage and plans to widen to four lanes. - Prairie View Trail: Under construction but paused while utilities moved; work resumed once utilities cleared and the contractor was progressing. - Meadowlake-to-base trail: Still in design; staff said the project must be converted from city to ODOT standards and is undergoing environmental studies. - Wallard detention pond (Cleveland/Chestnut drainage): About 50–60% complete; dirt is being relocated to a nearby property with the owner’s agreement.
Staff answered commissioner questions about sidewalk extents, concrete versus asphalt choices (staff cited cost and ODOT funding decisions) and long-term plans for trail connections. No formal votes occurred during the study session.
