Two Images from the OK-9/I-35 Interchange Meeting
Here are two images from the OK-9/I-35 interchange meeting I went to Thursday evening. They're of the District 3 2010 to 2017 Construction Program and Workplan poster the presenter, Mr. Paul Rachel Division Engineer for Division 3, had on display. I'll try and get an electronic copy.
This one is of District 3 overall showing the projects planned.
This one is a close-up of Cleveland and McClain counties.
As an aside, ODOT has a really nice collection of old State maps available on-line at
http://www.odot.org/hqdiv/p-r-div/maps/state-maps/ and maps in general of Oklahoma (city, county, legislative district, highway, tribal jurisdiction, you name it) at http://www.odot.org/hqdiv/p-r-div/maps/.

ODOT talk about I-35/OK-9 bridge reconstruction
This is going to be very interesting I think, dealing with OK-9 as it runs along Riverwind and all.
(from the Norman Transcript April 4th, 2010, p. A3)
"ODOT schedules public meeting
"A public meeting with Oklahoma Department of Transportation representatives regarding current and upcoming ODOT projects in and around the Newcastle area and West highway 9 will be held from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the Newcastle First Baptist Church, 2945 SE 44th St. in Newcastle.
"State Rep. Scott Martin, R-Norman, said the primary topic will be the reconstruction of the West Highway 9 bridge over Interstate 35.
"'This is a major project for District 46 that will benefit out citizens and keep them safe,' Martin said. 'I am very pleased with the efforts of ODOT, the Legislature and the community in helping us in the planning process and securing funding. I believe in safe roads and bridges and am committed to providing a safer transportation system for our citizens. I encourage the community to attend to discuss our progress.'
"Martin added, 'In addition, we will talk about the I-35 widening project and interchange reconstruction project in Norman.'"

Falls School, district 31
Now that the weather has turned nice, my first photo essay will be here, Falls School, district 31 in Cleveland county.
Rootsweb has this to say about it:(http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~okccogs/schools/schooldistricts-legals.htm)
"FALLS SCHOOL DISTRICT 31: Northeast corner of Section 29-9N-1W. Now 1130 84th Ave NE, Norman. Name taken from the Little River Falls which were nearby."
Here's a picture of it at night.
And right across the road is a path or road to the inlet for the City of Norman's supply pipeline from Lake Thunderbird. Norman's water treatment plant is at 3000 E Robinson, literally just a few miles east of Falls School.
Look for the pictures to be up later this weekend or early next week.
