Council pulls ArrowForge plat to address social-media concerns about Norfolk road link
Summary
Broken Arrow council pulled a consent agenda item on the ArrowForge Innovation District to give an update after social-media posts showed a potential road (Norfolk) connection; city staff said no decision had been made and that right-of-way work would follow formal council direction.
Broken Arrow City Council pulled item M — approval of a conditional final plat for the ArrowForge Innovation District — for a brief update after social-media posts suggested a road (Norfolk) would be built through the project area. "Nothing has been actually decided yet," a councilor said, and city staff said any new road would require right-of-way agreements and appraisals before construction could begin.
Council discussion traced the concept back to previously approved plans, with one member noting the idea dates to approvals in 2017–2018 and stressing transparency. "I want to make sure we were being transparent with everything so we can correct the record," the councilor said. Staff said the Economic Development Corporation (EDC) would work with designers and property owners on right-of-way questions only after the council gives formal direction. The council then moved and seconded a motion to approve item M and called for roll call following the motion.
