MMNA Update

June 26 Meeting Date Set. The next meeting of the MMNA has been set for Tuesday, June 26, 6:30 p.m., at the Memorial Baptist Church, 2800 S. Yale. Please mark your calendars today!

30+ Sales during our Spring Neighborhood Garage Sale. Our initial garage sale date was April 14, and in spite of cold and rainy weather, 11 hardy souls opened their garages and reported that business was brisk. Our rain date of April 21 proved to be a sunny and warm day, with 20 sales. Thanks to all who participated in this year's event, and hopefully we'll have more cooperative weather next year.

2006 Fair Parking Survey Results. A great deal of concern was generated in the neighborhood during the 2006 Tulsa State Fair due to the lack of enforcement of parking codes by the Tulsa Police Department, with numerous complaint calls regarding parking/traffic being unanswered. MMNA formed a Fair Parking Committee to hear neighborhood complaints. Several meetings were held and a survey was created distributed during the March meeting . The survey results show:

  • 84% want MMNA to address parking issues in the neighborhood.
  • 91.5% want to see existing regulations/codes enforced during the Fair.
  • 98% would like to see additional security present in the neighborhood during the Fair.
  • 72% agree that parking on yards has a negative impact on property values.
