My uncle lives in the Hunters Creek addition and there are people speeding like maniacs through there running stop signs. The city of Edmond is sure missing out on some revenue.

They had two lanes of Kelly open all the way through this afternoon.
*Update: The contractor opened the road to thru traffic on 1-17-14. There is one thru lane for both north and south directions. The contractor will now begin removing the old pavement on the east side of Kelly and complete the cross drains before modifing the soil and placing additional asphalt.

33rd and Broadway
This project will provide for dual southbound and westbound left turn lanes, a single eastbound, westbound and southbound right turn lane. The entire intersection will be reconstructed in concrete pavement. Signal light modifications will accommodate the changes in lane configurations.
This project is part of the 2000 Sales Tax Improvements. The estimated construction cost is $4,936,296.62. The funding split is 60% Federal funds and 40% City funds. The anticipated start date is summer/fall of 2014.
Update: Utility companies will begin to relocate thier lines in February 2014 to accomidate the roadway construction.
PS, I really like OKCisOK4Me's idea of this intersection and almost finished with a rendering for it to send to the city just for sh*ts and gigs. Around a zero chance of it happening, but hey, will be interesting to see what they say.
2015 Construction Projects
Covell Widening, Fairfax to I-35 Southbound on/off ramp
This project will widen Covell to a four-lane divided roadway. There will be a section of widening east of Sooner six lanes wide to accommodate future commercial development. There will be left and right turn lanes at major commercial driveways. The project also includes widening the intersection of Covell and Sooner and will include a signal light as well as street lighting throughout the project
Estimated construction cost is $10,455,267.77. The City has secured 56% Federal funds in the amount of $5,905,800 with 44% of City funds in the amount of $4,549,467.77. The anticipated start date is unknown at this time.
On edit: It would be nicer to see this pushed up to this summer. :/
Hey PluPan, message me your rendering when you complete it. I'd like to see your skills!
Alright haha, I am using Autodesk Infrastructure Modeler 2013 and haven't been taught by any professional, only self taught with YouTube videos and such lol
This particular stretch is giving me problems though so I may just use AutoCad or 3dsmax to create just a simple scale model. I like Infrastructure Modeler better though because it is much more realistic by adding the actual stores and mapping imagery. I just can't find any place to download the imagery for these particular coordinates. :/
Here is a map
I've been using Kelly, CCreek to Covell. I keep looking for 25 mph speed limit signs, given the ongoing construction. But it's 40! Doesn't seem to be a problem, though.
Not complaining, just amazed.
I'm glad they haven't lowered it tbh..... It should be lowered to 35 or so.... but 25mph is too low
Agreed.

What's going on 33rd at Air Depot? It was a dead end and now they've got it blocked off going east. It looks like a dirt road, so are they going to improve it toward the lake?
Probably housing. ^^
Hopefully so. I know they were having some major traffic issues on that stretch of 15th, although I've hardly seen any traffic there. They are also doing studies for the development of the lake and as such, were building new service docks and access ramps for the lake.
"The speed limit has been lowered to 45 mph in the area with cones and barrels to alert motorists."
It's 45 mph for the entire stretch now. And FYI Edmond Police is enforcing the 45 mph speed limit that goes all the way from I-35 to Arcadia (it's usually 55). Pretty ridiculous seeing as the crews aren't there half the time, and only a small portion of the entire road is re-paved yet. The person that I know that got pulled over was told they're enforcing it because of "people not knowing how to handle the uneven lanes in some parts." Just a heads up for everyone.
They're just doing what cops like to do around here - picking the low-hanging fruit and enhancing city revenue. They may be trying to look out for public safety, but I've seen too many construction speed limit signs stay up weeks past the end of construction (yes, the complete end of the construction) and cops enforcing that speed limit to believe that public safety is paramount in their minds. I've seen this happen in multiple places in OKC, maybe Edmond cops are different than OKC cops, though...
