City highlights neighborhood projects: Dawson ‘Bazaar’ micro‑grocery and Black Rock/Flat Rock Creek park plans
Summary
Speakers described a membership‑based, ARPA‑funded Dawson micro‑grocery called the Bazaar and a Black Rock/Flat Rock Creek partnership with Tulsa Housing Authority’s 36 North to create trails and outdoor amenities in North Tulsa.
Speakers detailed two neighborhood initiatives: the Bazaar, a micro‑neighborhood grocery in Dawson, and a Black Rock/Flat Rock Creek partnership with Tulsa Housing Authority’s 36 North.
The Bazaar was described as a membership‑based, cashless micro‑grocery aimed at serving a food‑desert neighborhood, offering free membership to Dawson residents and nominal fees for others. Presenters said the project will feed one free meal per child for the neighborhood’s roughly 450 students and that the venture received ARPA funding and a $500,000 District 3 infrastructure allocation.
Speakers described the Black Rock/Flat Rock Creek project as a partnership to create trails, outdoor learning, a potential fishing pond and other amenities; presenters said the project would complement returning housing in the area and serve students and residents for recreation and environmental education.
Both projects were presented as community priorities and described as having received local meetings and support; no formal funding schedules, contracts or council actions were announced during the presentations.
