I wish I had pretty pictures but sometimes a document will just have to do. Contained in this dry memorandum are countless opportunities for wellness, fun and recreation for our city’s residents in Canadian County. (1/4) 
In 2017, the voters approved funding for a new neighborhood park in the far western portion of Oklahoma City. Admittedly, City-owned neighborhood parks are not as prevalent in the outer ring of the city as they are in the core, but we’re working on it. (2/4)
This document represents approval of the acquisition of property for this new park, to be known as Swisher Park. (3/4)
I've been asked for some detail about the @CityOfOKC Better Streets, Safer City sales tax, and in particular, the dramatic allocation of funds when sales tax collections exceeded expectations.
Long thread.
Apologies for the length.

Like all committee meetings, Better Streets, Safer City committee meetings follow the open records act. Anyone can attend, call in, and speak for a couple minutes during a citizen comments section. Most meetings can be found on the @CityOfOKC Channel.

Kicking off the 6th Oklahoma Bike Summit this morning! Thank you @OKDOT for partnering with BikeOklahoma and providing the venue for today!
I'll be tweeting some of the more powerful statements throughout today as I can (so Twitter feeds, beware).
@LtGovPinnell giving powerful opening remarks. Tourism is Oklahoma's 3rd largest industry, and it's almost all organic. Oklahoma has unmatched history, geology, and ecology. Trails would provide an immersive experience of what Oklahoma has to offer.
With the announcement of the proposed #MAPS4 package for consideration by Council at Tuesday's meeting, I feel compelled to share my thoughts and where my head is and has been during this process.
I ran my campaign for City Council w/ the core value that caring for our most vulnerable neighbors creates a community that works better for everyone. Robust transit gets people to work, healthcare, groceries, & entertainment...
Affordable housing ensures we use tax-payer resources effectively in prevention rather than emergency services; complete streets enables families to feel safe when their kids walk or bike to school and people with mobility devices can safely navigate our streets.
