Council highlights $324,240 sidewalk project at 71st Kenosha Street railroad crossing
Summary
Broken Arrow approved a $324,239.74 contract to install sidewalks on both sides of 71st Kenosha Street at the railroad crossing, with officials noting federal coordination and traffic-control needs during construction.
Mayor McCullik said the council approved funding for new sidewalks on 71st Kenosha Street where a railroad track crosses the roadway, noting the project will tie sidewalks on both sides and improve pedestrian safety.
The mayor read a contract amount of $324,239.74 and said the city will work with federal authorities because the work crosses the railroad right-of-way. He added that traffic control will be important during construction and that the project, while smaller in scale than some bond projects, involves significant coordination.
Vice Mayor Parks confirmed the sidewalks will be installed on both the north and south sides of 71st Street at the crossing. The recap did not provide vendor names beyond the contract total or a formal motion record on-air; viewers were referred to the city agenda and archived meeting video for the official documents and vote tallies.
Officials framed the project as part of the city’s connectivity and pedestrian-safety strategy rather than a standalone safety retrofit; no additional funding sources beyond the stated contract amount were mentioned in the broadcast.
