(PROJECT) A Gathering Place For Tulsa

[RecycleMichael]

I'm just going to say it...we should asphalt the river.  Once construction's done, try to put water in it and use the detour as a boat ramp.

Save the Planet, not Pave the Planet.

I'm inconvenienced.

Your inconvenience outrages me.

Wait until the sour one finds out (even though we told him last fall).

Best plans ALWAYS start on a bevnap!!

A coaster can work if it's simple and serves as a good backdrop.

I think concrete would be less damaging to the river.

If use concrete, can have a public swimmin' hole....

I didn't realize that some of the trails between 35th and 17th were going to be closed completely, which is unfortunate. Is this where the land bridge will be going? Will the trails be torn out and then replaced?

Oh well, whatever inconvenience this causes me and others will be more than made up in overall improvements to the area once this park is done.

They are basically regrading that whole area to bring the park closer to water level.

Yeah I agree it's an inconvenience but it'll make tulsa just that much better.
It was a pain when they built the BOk center. But look how much big entertainment that's brought to Tulsa.

Yeah I just noticed that, they have a big fence up around the whole area the trails are torn up, and a big sign warns people to keep out. That could be why on Sunday afternoon the southern part of the trails were super  busy. To me it looks like a step backwards.. All that mess for a big over-glorified playground for kids. They can't leave well enough alone. A lot of money was spent 2 or 3 years ago putting in those new trails now they tear them up.

Run along now.

Closing the trail blows because I run it all the time.  Guess I can detour.

I run them all the time to, the southern part of the trails  are  fine, But finding parking is another issue. I end up parking on the grass at the 56th street lot. I normally run south to the Casino area and back from the 56th street lot. The traffic on the trails is getting bad, between dog walkers, regular walkers, skateboards and other runners it's crowded. I wish they would put up mileage markers on the southern part of the trail.
