GO Bond Election: Addressing Broken Arrow's Infrastructure
When Broken Arrow was founded and its population was much smaller, much of the traffic in town simply traveled north and south as retail and employment patterns dictated at the time.
That all changed when the Broken Arrow Expressway opened and fueled the city’s rapid growth, and as economic ties continued to develop between Broken Arrow and Tulsa, it brought renewed focus to how and where commuters travel today.
The infrastructure needs of Broken Arrow’s transportation system is the primary focus of Proposition 1 in the citywide April 7 General Obligation (GO) Bond election. The fate of some $205 million worth of road widening and intersection improvements, and other infrastructure projects, are going before voters. That amount represents more than half of the entire $415 million total being considered Tuesday.
The drainage and stormwater projects in Propositions 5 and 6 are intended to reduce flooding, improve drainage systems, and address stormwater runoff in key areas of the city. If these 3 propositions passed it would not increase property taxes.
