Title: map of debris removal Post by: we vs us on January 10, 2008, 10:43:42 am This (http://"http://www.cityoftulsa.org/documents/DebrisRemovalMap01-09-2008_1.pdf") is the city's map of ongoing debris removal. Gives you a good sense of what still needs to be done. Turns out, lots! Warning, it's a .pdf.
Also, the city's homepage (http://"http://www.cityoftulsa.org/") has a good summary of efforts so far.

It didn't escape me that the Maple Ridge and Philbrook areas are amongst the first. Granted, I did see higher piles of limbs in some of those areas, but the image of the wealthy being served first will piss some people off.

While I'm eager for the city to pick up the pile I've already accumulated in my front yard, I may have to cut down a tree...and was hoping I wouldn't have to pay someboday to haul it all off. (A "first pass" truck is headed my way...they're working two doors down, and they'll get to my yard before I can get the tree cut down.) Glad I'll get another chance.

But I understand your observation that perception can be just as divisive as fact. Title: map of debris removal Post by: waterboy on January 10, 2008, 03:33:42 pm Yeah, we waited a full 7 days to get our power in what they call North Maple Ridge (in reality we are the original maple ridge with the most per capita wealth, they are Sunset terrace to the south). When I looked at the map yesterday....we are in the "later" area. We also were not even considered for underground lines.
