| S-Curve Right-of-Way
Clearing: The former laundromat at 17th and Main was demolished Tuesday
Feb. 26, 2008 (in less than 30 minutes according to one witness). I have
still not seen a drawing of the planned new roadway alignment, nor do
I know a date for roadway construction to begin. -- Ted Wright (Previous coverge) |

| Main Street Bridge Over BlackJack Creek: With the old 2-lane bridge removed over 3 months ago (Nov. 12, 2007 start) progress continues on the new 4-lane bridge that will re-connect Highway 20/Main Street from Highway 169 to 5th Street. (Previous Coverage) |

| Downtown Steetscape:
The remaining textured color designs on downtown Collinsville sidewalks
(from the Diane Woodruff art activities in the 1980s) will soon be gone
as long-delayed work on the 2 blocks of Main Street (between 10th &
12th) is finally set to begin next week. The city will begin utility work
and selective sidewalk cuts to save cost with the contractor set to begin
work in April. (Previous Coverage: Delay & Design) |

| I expanded my Oklahoma City trip (to cover CHS Wrestlers) to also visit the relatively new Oklahoma History Center (near the state capitol). Many interesting exhibits to see there, including a map below with Collinsville still in Rogers County. I added the yellow star for Collinsville's location. (Previous Coverage) -- Ted |
