The Issue

PUT A CROSSWALK ON N.MAY AVENUE AT NW 42ND STREET in OKLAHOMA CITY at the Sam's Club gas station entrance/exit!

There is no marked east–west pedestrian crosswalk for 10 full city blocks! Yet dozens of people cross May Avenue at this location every single day.

Incomplete pedestrian infrastructure of sidewalks!

They don't need to cross here someday. They DO cross here. Every day!  A long-standing pedestrian funnel from Dulaney Park leads directly into the Sam’s Club gas station parking lot, naturally directing pedestrians toward May Avenue from both directions linking two neigboorhoods: Mayfair Heights and Mayfair West in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.. This is an established route that people have been using for years.

They cross May Avenue to reach Sam’s Club, the gas station, nearby businesses, apartments, hotels, residential areas, and bus stops. There is no safe, marked place for them to cross. This is not a hypothetical safety concern. Someone has already lost their life.

The pedestrians are here.
The pedestrian route is here.
The traffic is here.
And the danger is real.

We are asking for a clearly marked pedestrian crossing on  North May Avenue  in OKC near NW 42nd Street, in front of the Sam’s Club gas station!  A traffic light? Anything!! Ten full city blocks that have such heavy pedestrian foot traffic without an east–west crosswalk is unacceptable.

We should not have to wait for another person to be killed before providing a safe place to cross.

SIGN THE PETITION
Ten blocks is too far.
People are already crossing.
Someone has already died.

PUT IN THE CROSSWALK.

This issue will go up for vote before the Oklahoma Traffic Services on October 16, 2026!!

Join me in urging  Oklahoma City to prioritize pedestrian safety in our neighborhood by signing this petition. Together, we can make a tangible difference in protecting our community and ensuring safe crossings for all. Please sign and share this petition with your friends and family.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to raise concerns about pedestrian safety along May Avenue near NW 42nd Street. The City understands the importance of providing safe and accessible ways for residents to cross our roadways, and we recognize the concerns raised regarding this location and the need for a safer pedestrian crossing. Traffic-related requests such as mid-block crosswalks are reviewed through the City’s Traffic and Transportation Commission. The Commission considers requests based on factors such as pedestrian and vehicle traffic, roadway conditions, safety considerations and other applicable engineering standards. Residents and community groups who would like to request a traffic-related improvement can submit an application for consideration by the Traffic and Transportation Commission. Information about the application process and the necessary forms are available on the City’s website here: https://www.okc.gov/Infrastructure-Development/Public-Works/Traffic-Services/Traffic-and-Transportation-Commission We appreciate the community bringing this concern forward and encourage residents to participate in the process. While not every request can be implemented immediately, these concerns are heard and evaluated as the City works to improve transportation safety throughout our community. [Note: The Change.org Civic Engagement Team reaches out to decision makers to let them know about petitions in their community and to help facilitate engagement with supporters. The above was an email response we received regarding this petition.]
