FORWARD<br />

Since 1933, the Oklahoma State Legislature and the Oklahoma Transportation<br />

Commission has designated Oklahoma’s roads, bridges, and intersections in memoriam<br />

and in commemoration of Oklahomans and Americans from all walks of life. This<br />

biennial report, published by the Planning & Research Division of the Oklahoma<br />

Department of Transportation, is a chronology of all named facilities, to date. Its purpose<br />

is to inform readers of a(n) existing named facility and its location. Also included in this<br />

publication are some biographical sketches of the individuals for which the facility is<br />

named. A (PIC) symbol in the chronology section of this publication indicates that<br />

photographic documentation is available online at the Department’s website,<br />

http://www.okladot.state.ok.us/memorial/index.htm<br />

To date, three hundred and eighty six (386) commemorative designations have<br />

been placed on Oklahoma’s highways and bridges. Such facilities were named by the<br />

legislature for iconic individuals, such as the Civil Rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr.<br />

and gold medal Olympians Shannon Miller and Jim Thorpe - both Oklahoma Natives.<br />

Other facilities are similarly named for Oklahomans who were killed in action while<br />

bravely serving their country as members of the United States Armed Forces. Through<br />

the naming of such facilities, Oklahoma has placed an importance on acknowledging and<br />

remembering the outstanding contributions and brave service of it citizens and fellow<br />

Americans.<br />

Although great effort has been made to provide the reader a comprehensive list of<br />

all commemorative locations, some monuments in this publication might not presently<br />

exist or certain location descriptions might have changed. A few monument plaques have<br />

been stolen, vandalized, or moved to nearby museums or historic sites. Monuments<br />

might have also been destroyed due to widening, reconstruction, or relocation of a road or<br />

bridge. After a commemorative designation has been removed from its location, the local<br />

jurisdiction may, however, continue to honor the designated road or bridge. Though<br />

when a commemorative designation has been removed, or replaced by a legislative Act,<br />

the original commemorative designation will be dropped.<br />

Copies of Legislative and/or Transportation Commission actions pertaining to<br />

specific <strong>Memorial</strong> <strong>Highways</strong> and <strong>Bridges</strong> may be obtained upon request from the<br />

Planning & Research Division Engineer. Current Transportation Commission policy for<br />

dedications and commendations is presented under Title 730, Sections 15-3-1 and 15-3-2<br />

of the Oklahoma Administrative Code.<br />

To obtain a copy of this report or receive more information about a named<br />

highway or bridge, contact the Planning & Research Division of the Oklahoma<br />

LEGISLATIVE COMMEMORATION STANDARDS<br />

Before an individual or organization requests a Bill or Resolution be written by a<br />

member of the Oklahoma Legislature for the commemoration of a highway or bridge, the<br />

new standards and procedures, as part of the recent effective law, HB 1666, should be<br />

considered. Acting under the authority of the aforementioned legislation, the Department<br />

of Transportation has established a procedure to assess and collect the cost of signs<br />

naming highways and bridges on the state highway system to honor individuals who<br />

were not members of the U.S. Armed Forces killed in action. If it is the desire of an<br />

individual or group to request of the legislature to put forth legislation to name a road or<br />

bridge for someone who was not a member of the U.S. Armed Forces that was killed in<br />

action, an inquiry as to the production and placement costs of the sign can be made to the<br />

Department of Transportation. The procedures and law are included in this portion of the<br />

commemorative guide.<br />

<strong>Highways</strong> and bridges should not have multiple commemorative designations,<br />

unless otherwise directed by an Act of the Oklahoma Legislature. Therefore it is<br />

requested that a memorial commemoration not be made for a highway or bridge that is<br />

currently designated in honor of a person or group. The maps and index in this guide will<br />

help to determine which highways or bridges have currently been commemorated.<br />

After legislation is in place to name a highway or bridge, the Bill or Resolution is<br />

presented to the Oklahoma Transportation Commission at a regularly scheduled meeting.<br />

Upon approval by the Commission, the commemoration signs are ordered and fabricated<br />

through the Department’s sign shop and shipped to the corresponding Division for<br />

installation under the direction of the Division’s Traffic Engineer.<br />

In accordance with the standards listed in Commission Rule 730:15-3-1,<br />

consideration may be undertaken by the Oklahoma Transportation Commission to name<br />

highways, bridges and other facilities which are part of the state highway system. If<br />

consideration is made, it shall require a unanimous Commission vote to approve<br />

commemorative signs. The Commission is comprised of eight members and occasionally<br />

the absence of a Commissioner is unavoidable, whereby the item is tabled until the next<br />

full Commission meets. The schedule of the Commission meetings can be found online<br />

at the Department of Transportation’s website.<br />

Should any questions arise regarding the new signage law or departmental<br />

procedures, please feel free to contact Brian Bigbie, Legislative Analyst/APO IV, at<br />

(405) 522-6002.

CHAPTER 15. HIGHWAY PLANNING<br />

Subchapter 3. Highway and Bridge Signage<br />

(Effective July 12, 2012)<br />

730:15-3-1. Commission dedications and commendations<br />

(a) Highway, bridges, and other facilities which are part of the state highway system may be<br />

considered by the Transportation Commission for dedication in honor of individuals deserving of<br />

commendation for their active involvement in the project or for outstanding service to the nation,<br />

this state, or their community. Persons proposed to be so honored shall have been deceased not less<br />

than five years prior to consideration. Proposals for the dedication of state highway facilities should<br />

specifically state the accomplishments upon which the proposal is based.<br />

(b) No facility or group of related facilities shall be considered for naming in honor of more than<br />

one individual or entity, once named. Except in the most unusual circumstances, the Commission<br />

shall not consider changing the name of the facility, nor shall the Commission consider changing or<br />

designating additional names to the current named facility or city street which is also part of the state<br />

highway system.<br />

730:15-3-2. Transfer Costs of <strong>Memorial</strong> Signs<br />

(a) Elected governmental bodies may, by formally adopted resolution or legislative Act, propose the<br />

naming of highways and bridges on the state highway system to the Transportation Commission.<br />

(b) In accordance with 69 O.S. § 1600, the costs associated with the signage related to the naming<br />

of highways and bridges on the state highway system shall be paid by the group or individual<br />

sponsoring or requesting the sign. Such costs shall not apply to the naming of highways and bridges<br />

on the state highway system designed to honor members of the United States Armed Forces who<br />

were killed in action, as determined by the United States Department of Defense.<br />

(c) The procedure to assess and collect the cost of the erection of the sign, as well as the potential<br />

replacement or reconstruction of the sign, upon approval by the Transportation Commission is as<br />

follows:<br />

(1) Each memorial sign is produced using computer aided drafting personnel to determine the<br />

size of the memorial sign using standard lettering rules.<br />

(2) Pricing of the sign, itself, is based on the square footage he size of the produced sign.<br />

(3) Additional costs associated with the erection of the memorial sign include the price of sign<br />

posts, materials needed to secure the sign in the ground at its location, and labor - as<br />

determined by the respective Division where the sign is to be erected.<br />

(4) All non-labor costs associated with the aforementioned procedures are determined by, but<br />

not limited to, changes in the Producer Price Index released by the U.S. Department of Labor.
