Future Plan For 136th Street North Announced

Tulsa County Commissioner John Smaligo announced that a plan is in the works to eventually move the (recently improved) 12th Street railroad crossing further north to more closely match the now blocked path of 136th Street North. Smaligo said the county is hoping for grants to help fund the project to improve traffic flow with a direct 136th Street connection. He indicated there is no firm schedule for the project which would require right of way acquisitions. -- Ted 1/8/2015 2:30pm -- (Previous Coverage)
