Tulsa's plans

Postby swa on Mon May 15, 2006 8:16 pm

Tulsa's Route 66 alignments have a master plan in the works.

26 miles of Route 66 are in the county. Tulsans kept a sales tax in place to finance this in their Vision 2005 package.

The details have a museum near the art-deco 11th street bridge over the Arkansas River, a themed street scaping for the entire 26 miles as well as restoring the Meadow Gold sign (and finding a home for it).

See article

Themed street scaping is very scary as it permanently changes the feeling of the historic road.

I wrote quite a few articles about Tulsa County's Route 66 Master Plan, starting a few months ago up to recently. You might find these interesting:
