Neighborhood Meeting to discuss I-44 Expansion, Fri. 4/17/09, 7:00 PM at Marshall Elementary‏‏

Heller Park Neighbors will be having a meeting on Friday, April 17, 2009 at 7:00 PM at Marshall Elementary School at 56th and Peoria.

Our city councilor, G.T. Bynum, has requested that we hold this meeting to discuss the effects of the I-44 highway expansion project on our neighborhood. He has invited ODOT representatives, City of Tulsa Public Works representatives and state legislators to the meeting to listen to our concerns.

As most of you know, we have been working to get a continuous sound wall for our neighborhood included in the expansion plans for a long time without any progress. This meeting will finally bring all parties involved together in the same room and we will be able to voice our wishes and concerns to officials.

We will need help from block captains and anyone else who is willing to make copies of fliers and/or distribute them before the meeting. Please let us know if you are willing to help with this effort.

This is a very important meeting for our neighborhood. Councilor Bynum has told officials that we are a very large and active group and that our meetings are well attended...so let's not disappoint him.

For more information about this meeting or to get flyers that you can distribute to neighbors on your block, please contact Jamie Belger at 607-9979 or jlbelger@att.net or info@hellerpark.org.

See you at the meeting!
