The City of Glenpool also released the study, which outlines proposed changes for short and long-term solutions.
The report, made public on September 8 but dated January 2025, shows 368 reported crashes that caused around 112 injuries, with six people killed in these crashes.
The data was compiled from a decade of crashes reported to ODOT.

For the overnight hours, the report outlines street lights as a need for the 7.5-mile stretch to improve visibility.
Glenpool leaders said there’s an urgent need for changes.
Data from the community agrees, with 75% of responses from a survey saying safety improvements are needed.
