One of the highlights of Bartlesville is the Downtown area. The streets located in this area are in need of repair and striping. This project will be a mill and overlay of all streets between Adams Boulevard and Hensley Boulevard and between Keeler Avenue and Cherokee Avenue. Adams, Hensley, and Cherokee would be excluded from the project along with the portion of Frank Phillips that was recently rehabilitated. Everything else located within this area would be milled, overlayed and then re-striped.

One of the major east/west thoroughfares through Bartlesville is Frank Phillips Boulevard. The portion between Sunset Boulevard and the railroad tracks just west of Keeler Avenue is in need of repair. This project would consist of a mill and overlay, picking up where work on the recent Frank Phillips rehabilitation between the railroad tracks and Cherokee left off.

Thirteenth Street between Cherokee Avenue and Garden Street is heavily used for Kane Elementary School traffic. This portion of concrete roadway is in very poor condition. This project would include a concrete panel replacement and target replacement of close to 85 percent of the panels along this stretch of 13th Street.
$456,800
Cudahy, which accommodates a surprising amount of traffic on the west side of Bartlesville, has been on the radar to be rehabilitated for some time. This project would include a concrete panel replacement between Virginia Avenue and Santa Fe and would likely be coupled with the other proposed Cudahy project, which includes an asphalt overlay between Santa Fe and Johnstone Avenue. Estimates are that up to 95 percent of the concrete portion of Cudahy may need to be replaced as part of this project.

Minnesota Street between U.S. Highway 75 (Washington Boulevard) and Madison Boulevard is essentially an older county road that is in desperate need of repair. This mile-long stretch of Minnesota is constructed of asphalt and is suffering from a large amount of base failure. This project would include point repairs and overlay of Minnesota.

This project involves the extension of the existing Pathfinder Parkway pedestrian and bicycle trail system from its end point in Johnstone Park into and through Downtown Bartlesville and then to West Bartlesville via a combination of both on-street and off-street designs along with informational and directional signage.
This project meets two key goals identified in community planning processes: 1) Strengthening pedestrian connections to link West Bartlesville into Downtown, identified as a high priority in the 2011 West Bartlesville Redevelopment Plan; and 2) Providing a wayfinding system that orients people to the many opportunities located within Downtown Bartlesville, identified in the 2009 Downtown Redevelopment Plan and the 2013 Community Strategic Plan.
$406,100
This project would consist of an asphalt overlay between Santa Fe and Johnstone Avenue and would likely be coupled with another Cudahy project proposed (see above), which is a concrete panel replacement between Santa Fe and Virginia. Some point repairs would be included to address areas with failed subgrade.
$120,400
Funding for this project would continue steps taken to remove and replace the existing landscaping and streetscape improvements in the downtown area with a design that is sustainable, low-maintenance and suitable to an urban environment. This is a multi-phase project completed as funding is identified. This project was included in the 2009 Downtown Redevelopment Plan and the 2013 Community Strategic Plan.

*What are “70 percent” and “30 percent” projects?
Oklahoma law requires that 70 percent of the projects in each category be specified on the ballot for a GO bond election. The remaining 30 percent are “discretionary” and are not placed on the ballot. Discretionary projects are not legally required for completion; however, the City of Bartlesville has completed all projects identified as “30 percent projects” in the past.
Project costs include the estimated cost to complete each project as well as the Cost of Issuance (COI). The COI is based on what it would cost to issue the bonds per project, which is roughly 2 percent of each project cost, rounded for clarity. “Seventy percent” project costs are presented as they will appear on the ballot.
