Ask The Mayor

Mickey Perry Special to the Progress The Claremore Daily Progress Sat Feb 02, 2013, 07:25 PM CST

CLAREMORE — I have noticed the road south of the Sonic Drive-In on Highway 66 South is in need of repair. This road is utilized by an apartment complex and patrons to the shopping center. Does the City have plans to fix the roadway in the near future? Also are the plans for a splash pad for kids still moving forward?

The roadway is not a dedicated city street but on private property. Therefore the City is prohibited from making the much needed improvements. It is the responsibility of the landowner to maintain this road.

In answer to the second question, the plans are moving forward and we hope to have the splash pad open for the public this summer. The splash pad will be built at Claremore Lake.

See you around town!

If you have any questions about Claremore please contact me at mperry@claremorecity.com or call me at 918-277-1840. Our council meetings are the 1st and 3rd Monday of each month, please join us.
