Martin nature center get out your green thumb and check out a cozy, okc govt for more information and other exciting opportunities to celebrate. But, as we all know, nature can have a dark side and with spring fast approaching, tornado safety is important. City government would like to remind you if you live in an apartment or mobile home. Now is the time to make plans plans for a safe place to go. When you hear the tell-tale sirens, bridges and overpasses are not safe places to avoid tornadoes.

C

Nor should you ever try to outrun one in your car. Also, let's get this straight once and for all. A tornado watch means there's a possibility of tornadoes in your County and you should call family and friends to tell them to watch the news. A tornado warning means there is a tornado in your County and you should seek shelter immediately. Even more information about tornado safety can be found once again at OKC, govt, you've heard of max three.

You can see the success of maps for kids and you know all about project 180, but have you heard about envision 240?

My name is Jack downs, I, tim, bishop mcguinness, Catholic High, School and I am a youth council, at-large representative on march twenty second, the maps three Citizens Advisory Board met to review over proposed additions and amendments to the maps. Three project among the additional projects recommended by the board was a possible connection between the new downtown public park, the sky dance bridge spanning across the new I-40 crosstown expressway. This proposed connection would allow for pedestrians to safely commute from the bridge to the park.

P

Another perk related proposal was for the city to consider aquarium lands in the south downtown Oklahoma City region in order to slightly expand the perimeters of the downtown park, but so much thought and effort being given to this new park. There is no doubt it will be nothing short, magnificent. Last month, maps for kids granted a handful of loans of various schools around the Metro Western Heights public school district receive funds to purchase for new 71 passenger school buses, equipped with two-way radios.

Western Heights also receive money to purchase, copiers and printers for all the schools within the district.
