The Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) is to officially dedicate a portion of Lake Hefner Parkway (OK-74) in memory of former Village Mayor Cathy Cummings during a 10 a.m. ceremony this Thursday, Nov. 14.
Signage designating a one-mile portion of the parkway between Britton Road and Hefner Road is to be unveiled in memory of Cummings, the former Ward 4 councilmember and mayor who succumbed to an aggressive form of gallbladder cancer at age 62 in February.
ODOT estimates the Lake Hefner Parkway sees an average of 110,000 vehicles per day along the stretch of freeway that parallels Lake Hefner’s east shore. The Village City Council is to commemorate the naming of the portion of Lake Hefner Parkway in Cummings’ honor by presenting a replica sign to Cathy’s husband and former Village Vice Mayor Sean Cummings at its November meeting scheduled for 6:30 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 12.
