BACKGROUND: In the Norman General Obligation Bond Election of 2016, voters approved the Street Maintenance Bond Program, a 5-year, 4-phase program to address maintenance needs on neighborhood streets. The four categories include (1) Urban Asphalt Streets Rehabilitation, (2) Urban Concrete Streets Rehabilitation, (3) Urban Roads Reconstruction and (4) Rural Road Rehabilitation. Prior to the election, the City provided a list of all streets included in the program based upon the pavement condition data from the City’s current Pavement Management System. The following is the list of reconstruction projects included in the 2016 GOB Election:
2017 Lahoma Street - Gray Street to Nebraska Street
2018 Lahoma Street - Nebraska Street to Hughbert Street
2019 Walnut Road - South 2700 Block to Imhoff Road
2020 McCall Drive - Chautauqua Avenue to Pickard Avenue
2021 Pickard Street - Kansas Street to Acres Street
Walnut Road is located in an established residential neighborhood. The current roadway is constructed of concrete pavement with curb and gutter. The concrete pavement is in bad shape and the substructure has failed in several locations along the 0.25 lane-mile stretch of the roadway.
