Cities Seek Community Input on Multiple Infrastructure Projects

Various cities are engaging their communities to enhance road safety and traffic flow through new projects. Oklahoma City seeks public input for a redesign of the May Avenue NW Expressway bridge, which will include raising the bridge for improved clearance and incorporating pedestrian features, with construction anticipated to start between 2027-2028. In Bellevue, a $6.5 million project will add sidewalks and bike lanes on NE 40th Street to enhance safety for pedestrians and cyclists. Meanwhile, in Bedford County, the Central Virginia Transportation Planning Organization is gathering feedback on potential improvements to U.S. 221, presenting design concepts aimed at reducing traffic accidents. All initiatives emphasize community involvement to ensure the designs meet local needs and concerns.
