Purpose
The Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), proposes to make safety improvements to US-60/Broadway Avenue beginning at the junction of US-81 and extending east to Erie Street in Pond Creek, Oklahoma. This segment of US-60 is a partial curb-and-gutter facility with two to four driving lanes of varying widths. Along the corridor, the shoulders are used for parallel and angled street parking. The roadway has deteriorating pavement, a rough railroad crossing, drainage issues, and poorly defined striping that affects traffic flow. Also, there are non-compliant Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) sidewalks located on both sides of the road. Current (2027) traffic volumes are 1,410 vehicles per day (vpd), which are projected to increase to 1,700 vpd by 2047.
The purpose of the meeting is to present information about the project and obtain input from the public to further assist in the identification of critical social, economic and environmental effects that may result from the project.

Description
ODOT is developing design plans for improving this segment of US-60/Broadway Avenue while taking into consideration the cost of construction and potential environmental concerns. Overall, the proposed improvements consist of milling and overlaying the existing pavement, followed by restriping to clearly define the driving lanes and parking areas. Concrete medians and curb-and-gutter sections will be constructed to delineate traffic lanes, driveways, and pedestrian areas. The US- 81/US-60 intersection will be modified to improve drainage, turning movements, and traffic flow. The crossing at the railroad tracks will be improved, and sidewalks will be upgraded to meet ADA requirements. All improvements will occur within existing ODOT right-of-way, and the road will remain open with access to residences and businesses maintained throughout the project duration.
