Jeff your correct on sequence of events.  However, the end date might be generous. 

Word is they designed the helicopter hanger too short and that caused delays.   Oops.  LOL.

Kevin's proposal was for Archer & Boston (south of Hey Mambo) but apparently full-through.  The hotel will be at Archer & Main and should start construction this summer or fall.  The lot at Archer & Boston is now going to be the Brady Flats developed by MetroPlains, a Minnesota developer, with construction starting later this year:


The old synagogue redevelopment is alive but still in the fundraising stage.  Kevin's loft project at 15th & Trenton just finished up and the units are for sale.

It looks like there is now a fence around this lot too.  Hopefully construction will begin on this project within the coming week or so as well.

Wow, hopefully. If so it will be a couple months ahead of schedule. I love how this building is modern but incorporates a lot of brick like the buildings around it.

That design is full of WIN, large 15 pane windows, clean lines, built up to the sidewalk (which are wide walks at least in the concept) brick corbels and cement caps. I bet these will be snapped up quickly.

Couldn't they just do a cut out on the door for the tail boom like they did for bomber production in the tee hangars out at the Douglas plant in WWII?

No, the door was too short for the copter to fit in.  So they could fit a small portion of the rotor in and nothing else.  Fail.

Fine by me. I can think of many better things to go there..

Two years after crews demolished the 80-year-old Downtown Tulsa Bridge that once connected the core downtown business districts, which included the BOK Events District, the Tulsa Deco District, and the Blue Dome District, with the Brady Arts District, a construction kick-off event has been planned. This Wednesday, July 6, at 10 a.m., Mayor Dewey F. Bartlett Jr. and representatives of downtown and the Brady Arts District will meet on the north side of the Boulder Bridge in front of the Brady Theater to announce the rebuilding of the Boulder Avenue Bridge. The project is budgeted for approximately 8.9 million dollars and will include pedestrian friendly sidewalks on both sides, pedestrian trolley rails, fencing and decorative lighting. Once completed, the Boulder Avenue Bridge will allow two way traffic north of first street and direct access all the way from Riverside Drive through the heart of downtown and into the Brady Arts district. Construction is planned to begin in September. For more information, contact: Lara Weber with the City of Tulsa Communications Department (918) 596-7804

How come the poster who puts up the models doesn't have to shrink his jpgs?

Are they leaving ledges on both side of that bridge for vendors??

"will allow two way traffic north of First Street"

Boulder will also be getting a streetscape north of 1st to I-244 as part of the Brady Arts Streetscape project funded by the Kaiser Foundation.

It would be great to see Boulder return to two way traffic south of 1st to 11th and the streetscape also extended south.

This is great news for downtown and The Brady District in particular.

Right now, I'd settle for getting Main St. two-way from 6th to 10th.

Channel 6 hanger appears to be done.

That "pad" or metal building looks like sh!t down there.....there needs to be a stronger code going forward for redevelopment if that's what's evolving.
