At the same time, the PAC's 2nd Street stages will be blooming with 18 SummerStage shows (49 performances), including Light Opera Oklahoma's productions of the classic My Fair Lady, "Wouldn't It Be Loverly?" and Stephen Sondheim's A Little Night Music, "Send in the Clowns."


Meadow Gold Sign Re-Lights Route 66

The Meadow Gold sign has returned to Tulsa's Route 66, restored and glowing brighter than in 1934, when it first appeared at Eleventh Street and Lewis Avenue. The City of Tulsa hosted a rededication ceremony for the double-faced, 30-foot-by-30-foot neon sign, Tulsa's largest and unique among all signs preserved and restored along Route 66.

Although the sign has moved one mile west to Eleventh Street and Quaker Avenue, it has stayed on the same side of the street, giving motorists in 2009 an authentic view just like from 1934 to 2004.

Mayor Kathy Taylor

 Greetings:

Now that school is out, children are spending more time outside, playing in neighborhoods all across our city. That's why it's especially important to pay close attention, slow down and drive 25 miles per hour through residential areas.

Statistics show that 4,881 pedestrians died in the United States while walking in neighborhoods or crossing streets. The Oklahoma Department of Public Safety also reports that 68.2 percent of pedestrians involved in crashes were on city streets and 21.3 percent were under the age of 16.

The City of Tulsa is part of 200 communities across the nation dedicated to keeping our children safe through a national education campaign called, Keep Kids Alive Drive 25®. The program was designed to make residential streets safer for vehicles, pedestrians, and bikers by reminding drivers to observe the 25 mph speed limit in neighborhoods.

When you're out running errands, or are driving to and from work, remember to observe the law and...

  • Check your speed
  • Be prepared for the unexpected
  • Take personal responsibility for your driving behavior
  • Put down that cell phone while driving!

Do your part to help your neighborhood become safer and promote the campaign to encourage drivers to slow down. You can purchase yard signs with the "Keep Kids Alive Drive 25®" logo, by calling the Citizen's Crime Commission at 585-5209. Join me today in keeping our children safe.

Kathy Taylor
Mayor
