MIAMI, Okla. — In an attempt to save a three-mile section of the Route 66 roadway known as the “Ribbon Road”, the Miami City Council approved a resolution on Monday and announced a tentative plan with the Ottawa County Commissioners to save the famed and historical roadway.

The five-member council passed the resolution to preserve the roadway by a 4-0 vote. Council Member Dustin Pittman was absent from Monday’s regular city meeting.

The last section of the original nine-foot-wide Ribbon Road, located outside of Miami, is a tourist attraction and an Oklahoma National Historic Landmark.
