Quiktrip - Type 3

[bacjz00]

Where at? the area needs something other than the walmart gas station that is being built in there.

North side of 71st Street directly across from Lowe's @ Tulsa Hills.

Northeast corner of 71st & Olympia?

It will sit directly north of the intersection of Tulsa Hills Dr. &  71st St.    Tulsa Hills Dr. is the stoplight further east of the light at Olympia.   

I'm assuming that QuikTrip will extend Tulsa Hills Dr. north and provide access into the QT via the traffic signal already located there.    The tract that is at the NE corner of 71st & Olympia is not included in the QT development, at least based on my understanding

I believe it is stormwater retention on both side of olympia, north of 71st. Tulsa Hills drive is a better place, land-wise. I like the fact it will have a light since it seems most QT's are hard to get into, or hard to get out once you're in.

Agreed.  This thing will be perfectly situated to accomodate morning commuters.

If they can get the shopping center built at 81st & Olympia with the grocery store and movie theater, and now they will have a Gen 3 QT at 71st, I see that area continuing to gain in popularity.  I know a couple that lives in one of the newer neighborhoods near 81st & Elwood who moved there from Owasso because the schools were good (Jenks), it was a 15 min. drive into downtown on 75, lots of shopping options at Tulsa Hills, and right next to Turkey Mtn and river trails.  The only things they lacked were a grocery store and QT. 

I wouldn't be surprised to see new neighborhoods built on both sides of 71st from Elwood to Olympia, and a new Jenks "Northwest" elementary school built nearby.

And what's good about that is a lot of those new houses and neighborhoods would be built "in" Tulsa. So, Tulsa gains residents.

I hope they are aware there is a busy airport nearby.

Does it matter?
If you're living next to an airport and can be oblivious to the fact..   it's probably not an issue.
The Cesnas Jones/Riverside services don't exactly make the same amount of noise as say the 737s @ TIA

The 737s have a higher takeoff profile than a 172 though.  172s are plenty loud 3 miles away at 2000 MSL.  There are other planes out at RVS that make a ton of noise.  A lot of radial engine airplanes based out there.

Sooner or later they and their neighbors will get tired of even the small Cessnas and try to get the airport shut down.  There's a lot of fun to watch airplanes out there as Hoss mentioned and a lot of them aren't so quiet.

I once asked them if the planes bothered them.  They said they don't hear them very often.  I see them coming in over the 71st bridge and east of Elwood.  Maybe it's worse there, where there aren't any houses or any planned.

They're entering downwind there, and likely at a higher altitude.  The one's that will be more affected are those on climbout or on final, which is almost always from the north or south.  If it's from the north, not so much, as Turkey Mountain is a natural barrier to it, and to the south you have the turnpike and the golf course, which I see everytime I land to the north.

I did some touch-and-goes (crash-and-dash) today in my Cessna.  Those houses are pretty much under the pattern for the 150/172 class but they don't make that much noise.  The higher performance planes will be a bit wider in the pattern so the noise will be a bit farther away.  Except when traffic requires otherwise, I am usually no farther west than US-75 and keep south of 71st St.  Some people make the pattern a cross-country experience.  When there are several planes in the pattern, close patterns are not feasible.

And Sunday evenings at RVS can definitely be pattern-busy.  Especially since you in essence have three flight schools on the airport, and a smaller fourth.
