Improved Traffic Flow Leads to Improved Safety

Traffic Volumes Continue to Increase

Current 2016 Traffic Volume = 10,200 Vehicles per Day

Future 2036 Traffic Volume = 14,280 Vehicles per Day

Future Congestion Increases Without Improvements

Current 2016 Level of Service = D (at Minimum Accepted Value)

Future 2036 Level of Service = E (Below Minimum Accepted Value)

Analyzed how to Achieve an Acceptable Level of Service

4-Lane Roadway With Continuous Left Turn Lane

Improvements Result in Future Level of Service = A

Bald Eagle and Swallows

Bald Eagles and Golden Eagles are protected by the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act

  • Suitable habitat
  • Survey will be completed one year prior to construction (between December 1 and February 28)
  • If nest is found, no work will be allowed within 660 feet of the nest during the nesting season (September

16 through May 31)

Cliff and Barn Swallows are protected by the federal Migratory Bird and Treaty Act

  • Swallow nests were observed on bridge structure
  • To avoid impacts to migratory birds, seasonal avoidance must be completed between September 1, and

March 31, when nests are not occupied. If work cannot be completed during that time, the structure must be protected (netting) from new nest establishment prior to April 1, to avoid impacts to birds

Cultural Resources

− Studies completed according to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act − Concurrence from the Oklahoma State Historic Preservation Office and Oklahoma Archeological Survey − No Historic Properties affected − No Archeological Sites found

Tribal Consultation

− Consultation completed according to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act completed − Consulted with Caddo Nation, Muskogee Creek Nation, Cherokee Nation, Delaware Tribe of Indians, Kialegee Tribal Town, Creek Nation, Thlopthlocco Tribal Town, United Keetoowah Band

  • f Cherokee, Wichita and Affiliated Tribes

− No issues were noted in the Tribal Consultation

Noise Study

− Noise Analysis of the Project Limits was conducted according to Federal Highway Administration regulations and the Oklahoma Department of Transportation Noise Policy. − Utilized FHWA Traffic Noise Model to determine Existing (2016) and Future (2036) Noise Levels based on Traffic Data, Roadway Geometry, and Receiver Site Locations. − The Noise Model was validated based on Sound Level Meter Readings taken within the Project Limits. − Area is mostly undeveloped with a Rock Quarry, City of Tulsa Water Pumping Station and Railroad adjacent to SH-266. − Noise-Sensitive Receptors consist of 3 Residential Dwellings, all of which are located at the east end of the Project, 500- 800 feet North of SH-266 at higher elevation. − For Residential Receptors, an impact occurs when the Future Noise Levels meet or exceed 66.0 decibels, or when there is a substantial increase in Future Levels exceeding Existing Levels by 15 decibels or more. − Based on the proposed roadway improvements and future traffic volumes, none of the 3 Residential Receptors will have noise impacts with a highest Future Noise Level being 62.5 decibels. − Further, there is no substantial increase, with the highest increase at 4.2 decibels over Existing Levels.
