There's no room on Memorial to do anything like Main in Norman.
Memorial from (at least) 121st to 91 is always a mess. I am beginning to think that no one in Bixby has a job due to traffic most of the day. They are just out driving around.
I know the urbanistas like congestion and deplore alternate routes but Memorial is a mess. There is only one way from downtown Bixby north, Memorial/US 64. "Alternates" are Peoria/Elm though Jenks or OK 72 through Coweta. That was sorta OK 50 years ago but not so much now.
Before I retired, traffic on Memorial from 111th to the Creek was OK,
at 6AM. By 6:30 it was getting busy.
Bixby is trying to maximize its tax collections by allowing apartment complexes and other high density development per the urbanista mantra but not paying attention to simple things like getting around. There are windows of opportunity to get through Memorial. They are somewhere around 10:30 AM, 3 PM and from about 10 PM to 6 AM.
