Intersection Project to Include First Modern Roundabout
Construction has begun this week on a $2.6 million street
improvement and waterline replacement project that includes three
intersections: East 11th Street and South Peoria Avenue, East Sixth
Street and South Peoria Avenue, and East 10th Street and South
Elgin Avenue. Completion is scheduled in one year.
The street improvement at 10th Street and Elgin Avenue will be
reconstructed as the first modern roundabout in Tulsa. A roundabout
is larger than a traffic circle, such as at Fifth and Main streets;
but smaller than a rotary, such as at Admiral Place and Mingo Road.
Artwork is planned for the center island of the roundabout.
Street rehabilitation has begun at 11th Street and Peoria
Avenue. Pedestrian traffic signals will be improved at 11th and
Peoria, and traffic signals will be replaced at Sixth Street and
Peoria Avenue.
This three-intersection project also includes burying some
utility lines and installation of many streetscape features:
- Decorative sidewalks and crosswalks
- LED street lighting
- Cast-iron bollards
- Bike racks and benches at Sixth and Peoria
- On-street parking on Peoria Avenue between Sixth Street and
11th Street
- Centennial Clock at Centennial Park near Sixth Street and
Peoria Avenue
