Use these questions to think more about how you would describe your community...
  - Where do people in your community gather or socialize?
  - How and where does your community access services (healthcare, transportation, educational services, etc.)?

Examples of activities and services: Shopping areas, schools and universities, libraries, parks, lakes, rivers, places of worship, healthcare services, public transport, local nonprofit organizations, etc.

Your response: Most of us would love to have expanded public transit options to access midtown, downtown, and the urban districts. The streetcar stops around NW 12th. Bus service is spotty. Bike and walking trails are in works with OKC MAPS funds, but more reliable bus service at more frequent intervals, with more stops extending up in the area of NW 12th to NW 50th from Santa Fe to May would be desirable.

Use these questions to think more about how you would describe your community...
  - What are the cultural bonds in your community?
  - If your community has a shared history, what is it?

Examples of cultural or historical interests: Religious groups, ethnic groups, languages, age groups, immigration status, historic or arts districts, etc.

Your response: My immediate neighborhood (Zachary Taylor) is an old Oklahoma City neighborhood built up in the 1950s. There is a mix of white and black residents, skewed white and younger. Home prices (mortgages and rents) have risen such that there is some gentrification, but not to the extent of the more urban districts (Midtown, Plaza, Paseo, Deep Deuce). Our neighborhood is educated and has higher health incomes than neighborhoods to the east of us.

Use these questions to think more about how you would describe your community...
  - Where are residents employed?
  - If there are environmental concerns in your community, what are they?

Examples of economic or environmental interests: Tourism industry, agricultural workers, mining town, manufacturing center, polluted natural resource, unemployment problem, etc.

Your response: The electrical infrastructure is old and in disrepair in the urban core of Oklahoma City. We experienced an ice storm in late fall 2020 that knocked out power for an average of 2 weeks because OG&E... 1) does not maintain its right-of-way with residential power lines and has not trimmed back trees often enough, and 2) has not made efforts to bury power lines in older parts of the city. But more importantly, this early winter storm likely occurred as an effect of climate change.

Use these questions to think more about how you would describe your community...
  - What should politicians and/or map drawers know about your community?
  - What are the needs of your community?
  - Is there anything else you want to tell us about your community?

Examples of needs or concerns: Keep community in the same district or separate into multiple districts, shared policy concerns, need for a social service, relationship to other nearby communities, issues with current district lines

Your response: Zachary Taylor is incorrectly zoned for the Oklahoma State House & Senate. Zachary Taylor should be in House District 88. Senate District 48 includes us as part of the historical black and rural eastern & northeastern section of the city. We should be in Senate District 46. At the federal level, Oklahoma Congressional District 5 is transparently partisan, fracturing Oklahoma County from culturally similar metropolitan Cleveland County (Norman) and most of Del City and Midwest City.
