BACKGROUND: On January 27, 2009, the Norman City Council approved programming Resolution No. R-0809-99 requesting federal funds to replace the Franklin Road Bridge over Little River and to construct roadway approaches. The resolution states the City's commitment to adhere to the terms and conditions of a federally funded project. Through the Association of Central Oklahoma Governments (ACOG), the Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) agrees to provide 80% of the project funding and to administer the construction with a 20% matching share from the City of Norman.
