City officials are keen to emphasize that this grant is not just about improving safety today; it’s about laying the groundwork for smarter, long-term transportation planning for the community. The hope is that, through this initiative, Lawton will be in a better position to secure additional funding for future upgrades and projects.
With this grant, Lawton is taking concrete steps toward addressing traffic safety, something we all can agree is a vital need. It’s a win-win for everyone on the road, so let’s see where this journey will take us. After all, in a world filled with potholes, who wouldn’t want a smoother ride?
