PlanitTulsa
Over the past 8 months, input from thousands of Tulsans has been gathered at public workshops throughout the city, collected through surveys and recorded during interviews. Based on all these ideas for Tulsa's future, the PLANiTULSA team has developed four different scenarios of how future growth in Tulsa might look.
Now it's time to weigh in on these scenarios. What works best for you? Your family? Your future? Please complete the online survey at www.planitulsa.org. This is an opportunity to shape where and how Tulsa grows; if and where mass transit opportunities are needed; and many other aspects of how Tulsa will look and function in the future!
Mosquito Control
To have the city bring the spray truck through our neighborhood, please call the hotline at 595-4219. The more calls made the quicker the spraying takes place. Mention also that Vensel Creek flows through our neighborhood which attracts the mosquitoes.
Second Dues Invoice Coming
A special thanks to those that paid their 2009 dues on time. The board will be delivering a second invoice that haven't paid yet in case the first one got overlooked. We appreciate your prompt payment!
Your $50 Annual Dues goes to provide community maintenance, entry/right-of-way mowing, holiday decorating & contest, landscaping, block parties, activities, utilities, repairs, directories and so much more in our great neighborhood.
Park Friends Memberships
Purchase a Park Friends $20 Membership and help our neighborhood. In order to raise money to keep the park looking nice since the pool will not be opening this summer, Park Friends is selling $20 memberships. The pool memberships have paid for the maintenance of the park along with the pool. These new $20 memberships that Park Friends is offering will keep our park mowed and watered and lights working. The park not only has value to our residents but also to new home buyers which helps our home values to keep rising! Park Friends memberships will be sold at the garage sale at the park on April 18th...stop by and purchase one!
Tulsa Curfew applies in Forest Creek too.
Keep in mind that teens out walking the neighborhood streets late at night/early morning are in violation of Tulsa’s curfew. The city's curfew statute says that those younger than 18 may not be out past midnight on Fridays and Saturdays or past 11 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays. Teens can be out past midnight if they are with a parent or guardian; on their way to or from work, church or a school-related activity; on an errand for their parents or if there is an emergency, among other exemptions.
The grass is always greener…when you have a sprinkler system. Forest Creek’s Vision 2025 funding has installed sprinkler systems on the right of ways on Harvard and 81st streets. Look for installation to begin soon on this project.
Volunteers Always Needed. The Forest Creek board is made up of nine residents who volunteer their time and effort for our neighborhood, but we need more people to head up special projects like coordinating a block captain program, being a block captain, coordinating the block party, coordinating the printing of the directory, landscaping, the research and possible coordination of a security patrol, picking up trash from right of ways, delivering newsletters, etc. The strength of a great neighborhood is the residents volunteering their talents for the good of everyone.
