Del City ratifies agreements with Oklahoma County to repair Vicki Drive and South Bryant Avenue
Summary
Del City Council unanimously approved intergovernmental agreements with Oklahoma County to resurface Vicki Drive (SE 15th–SE 29th) and repair South Bryant Avenue (SE 29th–SE 24th). The mayor was authorized to sign; council also approved a broader mutual cooperation agreement covering certain street maintenance through June 30, 2025.
Del City Council unanimously ratified two agreements with the Board of County Commissioners of Oklahoma County to repair and resurface city streets, authorizing Mayor to endorse the documents.
Council approved a general mutual cooperation agreement effective July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025, authorizing joint maintenance, construction and repair of certain streets within Del City. The body then ratified two specific-assistance agreements: one for improvements on South Bryant Avenue between Southeast 29th Street and Southeast 24th Street, and one to resurface Vicki Drive from Southeast 15th Street to Southeast 29th Street. The Vicki Drive project was previously approved by the council on Feb. 20, 2024; the Bryant Avenue cost was originally approved May 1, 2023.
Resident Janice Maxwell raised safety concerns about Vicki Drive during public comment, noting faded or missing roadway markings and a 10‑mph sign on a curve that she said drivers ignore. "There's not any way they can go 10 miles an hour with those big old trucks," Maxwell said, urging restriping and increased patrols. A trustee responded that he would "speak with the city manager about restriping from 15th to Judy" and would discuss increased police patrols in the area.
All motions related to the cooperation agreement and both specific-assistance agreements passed on unanimous aye votes. Council authorized the mayor to endorse the agreements and proceed with the projects as planned.
The approvals move procedural authority to begin coordination with Oklahoma County on contracting and scheduling for the resurfacing and repair work; no project start dates were specified during the meeting.
