A vehicle accident knocked down the northbound traffic-signal pole at 14th Street and Bradley Avenue. City officials estimate that obtaining and installing a permanent replacement could take between 12 and 16 weeks.

Officials are evaluating a temporary signal, although it may not include a dedicated left-turn signal.

A vehicle accident knocked down the northbound traffic-signal pole at 14th Street and Bradley Avenue. City officials estimate that obtaining and installing a permanent replacement could take between 12 and 16 weeks.

Officials are evaluating a temporary signal arrangement in the meantime, although it may not include a dedicated left-turn signal.

Drake House Local is following the repair timeline and will report changes as they are confirmed.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING INTO

  • What is the cost of the permanent replacement, and who pays for it?
  • Will a temporary signal include a protected left turn?
  • Has crash or near-miss data changed at the intersection since the pole came down?

Drake House Local has not reached conclusions on these questions. This section identifies matters we intend to examine through public records and interviews.

Who Will Help Shape Ponca City's Vision for 2040?

Ponca City is asking residents to help define what the community should become over the next decade and beyond- but another group will also play an important role in turning that public input into priorities.

The public survey remains open through August 17, 2026. Survey results will be presented to a stakeholder committee appointed by the mayor.
