Sapulpa will take control of downtown’s Route 66

The Downtown Master Plan (DMP), adopted by City Council in June, suggested that the control and jurisdiction of the portion of State Highway 66 which runs through downtown Sapulpa on Dewey be ceded from the Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) and given to the City of Sapulpa. This is expected to greatly improve the character, function, and safety of the downtown transportation network.

Randall White, with ODOT, created a map showing the new routes and designations, which was presented at the Community and Economic Development committee meeting last week. The committee gave its full recommendation of the plan to the City Council.
