Sidewalk Construction
Over 5800 linear feet of sidewalk will be constructed with the Safe Routes to School grant.
These new sidewalks will be located at 6 of Bartlesville's 8 elementary schools. At the time of grant application, the other 2 schools, Ranch Heights and Wayside, were planning changes to their entrances. It was likely that some new sidewalks would be part of their redevelopment plans. With final student walking patterns unknown and the possibility of new sidewalks being incorporated into those new redevelopment plans, city staff decided to focus the Safe Routes to School sidewalk money on the other 6 schools.
The sidewalk locations at the 6 schools were determined by observing students' walking patterns and using public and school input. It was a challenge to be equitable yet put the sidewalks where they are needed most.
Crossing locations and crosswalks were also observed and considered, and the grant money will be used to repaint crosswalks and paint new crosswalks. Again, since the potentially new walking patterns at Ranch Heights and Wayside were unknown at the time of grant application, the crosswalks will be focused on the other 6 schools.

The Engineering Department staff has been working on the preliminary sidewalk plans since the Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) gave us the notice to proceed on the project on September 11, 2009. This includes environmental approvals, horizontal alignments, grading, and construction documents. These plans are now complete and have been submitted to ODOT for final approval. A plan in hand review date has been set for September 10. We anticipate sending out for bids in October with construction to begin in March.
