TCC Downtown

[cannon_fodder]

Face it, those in charge of zoning in Tulsa have pretty well gotten it wrong since the 1950s.

Minimum parking is stupid.  From TPS tearing out playgrounds to add parking, to forcing Cherry Street to tear out the neighborhood, to TCC adding a parking lot to an area that was just humiliated as th worst example of a parking desert in the nation. 

Add in constant developments set back with massive fronted parking lots.

Zero building requirements for quality or form.  If you want to build it, come on!

Name an area WITH charector developed in Tulsa in the last 50 years.

I'd bet big that for the foreseeable future TCC downtown maintains a "no urban development" policy.

Prove me wrong TCC.

P.S.  too bad we have half donkey OSU, OU, NSU, RSU, and Langston instead of one REAL 4 year D1 state college in Tulsa.  But from a small gubment perspective it males sense to have 5 colleges try to do the job...

TCC's behaviour in downtown makes me regret that I fund them with my property taxes.

Sorry....just couldn't let that go!  Had to fix it for you.


It's worse than "too bad" - it is ignorance at it's peak of performance. 


And... No one can name an area WITH character developed in Tulsa in the last 50 years because there has been none!    Well, except maybe for the Woodland Hills mall area.... LOL!!  (Sometimes I crack myself up!!)

Downtown TCC has no parking requirement. They could make the whole thing a water park and comply with zoning.

That's why I picked on TCC with my development rant.  TCC is in a district exempt from parking and government run... But it perpetrates the same crimes.  It is a great reflection of our overall lack of development theory.

Does anyone know what enrollment at TCC's downtown campus would have to be to realistic use all the parking it currently has available?

How much is available? 

And how many of the 20,000 enrolled go downtown?  (They wouldn't tell me on a quick check of their web site).  Has to be several thousand at least.
