BACKGROUND:
On August 28, 2012, the citizens of Norman voted in favor of a Bond Election to finance the local share of eight transportation/storm water improvement projects. One of the eight 2012 bond projects is West Lindsey Street from 24th Avenue S.W. to Berry Road.
The West Lindsey Street Project has been under design since fall 2012. The project design is complete. Land acquisition is complete. Utility relocation is complete. All environmental clearances and permits have been acquired except the City floodplain permit for the replacement of the Imhoff Creek Bridge. This permit must be issued by February 23, 2016 in order for ODOT to authorize the project bid opening on April 21, 2016.
The roadway portion of the project includes transportation, storm water and aesthetic improvements to Lindsey Street. The West Lindsey Street corridor between Interstate 35 and Berry Road is the most congested corridor in the Oklahoma City metropolitan area. This section of West Lindsey Street has a traffic accident rate three (3) times the national average.
Proposed improvements for the roadway project include:
Widening West Lindsey Street from 3 lanes to 4 lanes with additional lanes at intersections
New bridge over Imhoff Creek
Continuous sidewalks on both sides of the street
