Is that Tulsa or Bixby?

At that intersection, it's all Bixby.

121st would have been a better location.

[AngieB]

121st would have been a better location.

For Bixby, yes. For Tulsa, no. 

[Ibanez]

For Bixby, yes. For Tulsa, no. 

I was thinking more ease of access....but yeah I see your point.

West side of Memorial between 103rd & 106th.  Dirt work already started.  Land currently owned by Warren related entities.

Will also include a St Francis facility.

For what it's worth Tulsa Chamber denying Costco announcement for today.  But says will be very soon.

Access to what? That is two miles further away from any highway. I'm assuming it will go in the field at 103rd which is directly across from the theater at an existing light.

The area at 121st would have allowed for an entrance/exit off of Memorial as well as one off of 121st. To me the area where this is going is a traffic nightmare already and this will be adding to it. For whatever reason there are a lot of drivers on that stretch of road who seem to either drive 15mph or 60mph with no in between. It is, IMO, the most unpleasant stretch of driving in Tulsa. Admittedly Northbound traffic seems to be worse than Southbound when it comes to stupidity behind the wheel.

Just one more reason for me to avoid that area. 

How many stop lights are there now between 91st & 121st?
