MeetingNov 3, 2026

Broken Arrow City Council - Nov 3, 2026

Ward 3, Ward 4, and the at-large council seats will be on the spring ballot, with filing periods and contests handled through the Tulsa County Election Board.

MeetingAug 18, 2026

Broken Arrow City Council - Aug 18, 2026

The 2026 bond-funded widening of Tucson Street will be five lanes through the commercial zone and four lanes beyond, saving $5-6 million by dodging costly gas line and power line relocations. The Olive intersection gets a full five-lane rebuild โ€” that's where the delays are.

MeetingMay 19, 2026

Broken Arrow City Council - May 19, 2026

Residents pushed hard on when 121st Street will actually be widened โ€” the Aspen/121 project took eight years from the 2018 bond. Design should be done next summer, with possible construction by end of 2029 if funded in the 2027 bond sale.

MeetingMay 5, 2026

Broken Arrow City Council - May 5, 2026

Residents report backups at the four-way stop on two-lane Tucson Street with no shoulder, and fear 350 new homes will add 400-500 cars before road widening is finished.

MeetingFeb 26, 2026

Planning Commission - Feb 26, 2026

Tucson (121st) from Olive to Aspen is the first-named street project in the April 2026 GO bond โ€” widening two lanes to five with sidewalks. A bond open house is set for March 2 at Union Eighth Grade Center.

MeetingJan 6, 2026

Broken Arrow City Council - Jan 6, 2026

Voters will decide eight propositions April 7: up to $415 million in GO bonds for streets, public safety, parks, buildings, stormwater, drainage and the library, plus a half-cent sales tax for sports facilities that sunsets in five years. This shapes taxes and what projects the city can deliver.

We'll email you when it's on an upcoming agenda and when it's voted on, at most once a day.
