Are there any plans to place a stoplight at Silver Lake Road and Tuxedo? It is often difficult to turn on to Tuxedo.
There are no plans to install a traffic control signal at the intersection of Silver Lake Road and Tuxedo Boulevard outside potentially installing one in a future phase of the Price Fields Renovation Project.
The multi-phased project, recommended in the 2009 Park and Recreation Development Plan, is currently nearing the end of its third phase. Overall, $8.8 million in voter-approved funding has been utilized for the project, resulting in the construction of four new softball fields, the replacement of the four main fields in the central portion of the complex, as well as improved parking and the addition of restroom and concession facilities.
Additional phases depend on voter approval in a future capital/bond election. If approved, future phases will likely include alignment with the Silver Lake Road and Tuxedo Boulevard intersection — including a traffic control signal at the intersection — as well as improved access into and out of the complex, emergency access to the complex, reconstruction of the larger fields on the south end of the complex, additional parking, batting cages and additional storage.
Popeye’s: No change
Last I had seen, Popeye’s was still planned, but someone said it was under the same franchisee as Taco Bueno, which now has a “Now Available” sign. I wish it meant tacos were now available. Got any info?
Whether or not Popeye’s is still coming to Bartlesville is City Beat’s most asked question by far. The answer is that it is still coming, at least as far as anyone knows. They haven’t said they’re not coming, after all, and local media — the Examiner-Enterprise newspaper, to be exact — reported in July that the project is set to start up again around April 2022. Calls by the Community Development Department to representatives of Smitco, the franchise company that will be operating the restaurant, to obtain updated information have not been returned. A quick search via the Internet indicates Popeye’s and Taco Bueno are owned by the same parent company, Sun Holdings Inc.
Polycarts: The law
Is it ok to move someone’s trash cans after they have set them out for pickup? An individual is moving mine weekly to park and is putting them out in the driving part of the road and not against the curb where I’ve placed them.
According to Bartlesville Police Department officials, there is no law that prohibits a City-issued polycart from being moved unless it is moved in such a way that it impedes traffic, as suggested here, or violates some other law. The best thing to do in this circumstance is to contact BPD and speak with an officer about your situation.
