Traffic concerns dominated the Edmond City Council meeting on June 9, 2025, as residents voiced frustrations over recent changes to road infrastructure. A local resident raised alarms about a newly installed traffic island on Bryant Avenue, which has created significant delays for drivers attempting to turn left. "Only five cars can get between the beginning and where that island jets out," the resident explained, urging city officials to consider modifying the island to improve traffic flow. The council acknowledged the issue and promised to relay the concerns to city staff for further evaluation.

Another resident, Mary Anne Serblin, called for a reduction in the speed limit on Covell Road, east of Interstate 35, from 45 to 35 miles per hour. She highlighted safety risks posed by speeding drivers in a residential area with many homes and children. "I get passed on Blind Hills at least once a week," she said, emphasizing the need for safer driving conditions. The council took note of her request, indicating a willingness to explore the matter further.

In addition to traffic discussions, the meeting included a recap of community events, including a successful Route 66 Road Rally that attracted numerous visitors to Edmond. Council members expressed gratitude for the community's engagement and highlighted ongoing summer concerts at Stevenson Park, encouraging residents to participate in local activities.

As the meeting concluded, the council reaffirmed its commitment to addressing residents' concerns and enhancing public safety on Edmond's roads.
