Trail project is approved

YUKON — City council members Tuesday approved a completed recreation trail project.

The trail was completed by Schwarz Paving Co. It links Freedom Trail Park, Chisholm Trail Park and Yukon Community Center.

City staff inspected the trail and recommended council members approve the completed work.

The city will pay 25 percent of the $445,000 price tag, and the state Transportation Department will pay 75 percent using a grant.

In other business, the council approved an ordinance that would rename Mustang Road between NW 10 and Wilshire Boulevard to Yukon Parkway.

The name change will go into effect if Oklahoma City Council approves a similar ordinance that would change the name of Mustang Road to Yukon Parkway between Interstate 40 and Vandament Avenue.

Construction to close road

EL RENO — Holbrook Drive between Jensen Drive and Cherokee Lane will be closed at 10 a.m. today for a month.

Crews from Cimarron Construction will replace a drainage structure and install new headwalls, new curbs and five new drainage pipes. Construction is expected to be complete by Dec. 7, city officials said.
