Intersection of Oak St and Ferguson Ave

Construction will start on the intersection of Oak Street and Ferguson Avenue during the week of July 20, adding left-turn lanes in all directions. The traffic signal will be updated to offer a dedicated left turn. Additionally, the intersection of Oak Street and Ryun Sun Way will be changed to right-in, right-out turning movements only. This work addresses several crashes that have occurred at the intersection, helping to improve safety for all who travel the area.

“Improving our roadway system is a key part of keeping our residents safe, something we take incredibly seriously,” said Transportation & Engineering Director Nick Ross. “In this project, we’ll create dedicated left-turn lanes, which will ultimately help reduce rear-end crashes and improve traffic flow.”

The intersection is expected to stay open for most of the project, though travel will be reduced to a single lane to perform the work. Construction is anticipated to wrap up in October.

This intersection was identified as needing improvements following a 2025 engineering study of intersections on Oak Street. It was added to the City’s Capital Improvements Plan for construction in 2026, at an estimated cost of $900,000. An additional project at Oak Street and Flanders Mill Road was identified and constructed in 2025, bringing the total investment on Oak Street to over $1 million in the past two years.
