I have bee spending some time tracking down the purported "PSO/DTU Acorn Light Standard" and have trouble finding anyone at either company who claims ownership. Maybe that is why we are starting to see some new light fixtures in some areas.

Downtown Tulsa Unlimited's "Downtown Street Furniture Standards" is cited in the Brady Infill project
http://www.tulsadevelopmentauthority.org/brady_infill_pdf/section_5.4_specific_design_policies.pdf
and came up again as a roadblock to recommending efficient, eye-friendly lighting when consynsus asked for consultation on the Centennial Walk lighting in 2006.
The small print says "'SOURCE: "Downtown Street Furniture Standards -- Site Amenities", Downtown Tulsa Unlimited"  Planning and Economic Development Division, Urban Development Department, City of Tulsa' " 

At that time, the architects believed the elusive DTU document to be the "city standard".
I was never able to obtain a copy, either.
