Officials Ban Lindsey Closure Option in Norman after Public Meeting

in place at Lindsey Street and I-35 in Norman, the Oklahoma Department
of Transportation today announced it has taken off the table a proposal
that would have eliminated the ramps at Lindsey Street. Click
HERE for more details.
The
Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) conducted a public meeting
on September 18th, 2008 in Norman to review information regarding an
environmental assessment for a new project along I-35, from north of the
I-35/SH 9W interchange ramps (located south of the Canadian River
Bridge), north to approximately ½ mile north of Main Street in Norman.
The proposed improvements include expanding I-35 to a 6-lane facility
from north of the Canadian River Bridge to approximately ½ mile north of
Main Street in Norman, as well as reconstruction of the interchanges at
SH 9E, Lindsey Street, and Main Street. This project is referred to as
“I-35 South”. To view the information presented by ODOT in PowerPoint
format at the above referenced meeting, click

The City encourages interested Norman citizens to submit
public comments and questions to ODOT regarding this project. These
comments will be reviewed, evaluated and considered in ODOT’s final
selection of preferred I-35 improvements. The deadline to submit
comments is October 2, 2008. To submit a comment click

Questions
concerning the project may be directed to Mr. Scott Stegmann, ODOT at

NORMAN MAKES TOP 10 |

 CNNMoney.com
announces Norman as one of the top 10 places to live.
CNNMoney.com based their rankings on plentiful jobs, excellent
schools, quality of life and affordable housing.
"Norman is no longer a best kept secret: the
word is out! Norman’s strong sense of community, its high quality of
life and affordability, and its appreciation for diversity, the arts
and culture have earned us this ranking. This honor recognizes not
only the quality leadership and vision of the University of
Oklahoma, our city, our public schools, the health care system, the
business and non profit sectors, but most importantly our citizens.
Such recognitions do not happen by chance, but instead by working
together to build community. The balance we strike as a growing city
and the values we place on being a welcoming and engaged community
will continue to serve us well in the future" said Mayor Cindy
Rosenthal

THREE UNRELATED PERSONS ORDINANCE |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
Over the
past couple of years, complaints about over-occupancy in single family
dwellings have risen steadily. As you may know, the City of Norman
zoning ordinances limit single family dwellings to residents that are
family members, either by blood, marriage or adoption, or not more than
three unrelated persons living together and sharing the common areas
like the kitchen and living areas. This includes apartments,
condominiums, and town homes. This restriction has been part of the
zoning ordinance since 1954 and over the years, the City has explored
various avenues of enforcement to protect City residents from the issues
that arise when multiple unrelated persons live in single family homes.
Complaints generally revolve around traffic, noise, and parking. |
