City officials explained what upcoming projects and projections they have for the new year.

Tahlequah Mayor Sue Catron said there are several different projects that are underway for the incoming year.

“In the streets and sidewalks realm, repaving of Fox Street and Jones Road are both scheduled,” said Catron. “Adding a sidewalk along North Jones Road that will help students walk safely to school is included in that plan.”

As part of the 20 projects from the 2013 bond issues, there was $10 million worth for street projects, and one of those included North Cedar Avenue and Fourth Street.

“The North Cedar bond project to widen that street and add a sidewalk from Crafton Street to Allen Road has started. The [Tahlequah Public Works Authority and Northeast Oklahoma Public Facilities Authority] will be addressing the utilities, and then road and sidewalk construction will begin in earnest,” said Catron.
