Things I want the next Tulsa mayor to focus on:
3. River - push for continued funding of the low water dams, work with Kaiser to get another river vote on the ballot that would add more dams with locks, implement parts of the river master plan, and expand the new jogging/biking trails down to Bixby to the south and Sand Springs to the west on both sides of the river
I agree with all of your goals for the new mayor including this one, but I don't think the low water dams (as planned) help Tulsa as much as they do our suburbs. Since The suburbs don't want to play along, I would rather see a dam at 51st Street that would encourage Tulsa river development instead of Jenks river development.
Since the location of the dams is not likely to change, then we should focus our river development goals in two areas:
1. Develop the area at 21st and Jackson (includung the MidContinent Cement Co) with urban transit into downtown
2. Add pedestran crossings at 41st and 15th. At one time there was a Pier concept on this forum for 15th Street that was very cool and forward thinking.
I would also add to your list: Increase momentum of Downtown development. We need many more living, shopping and entertainment options in downtown.
And while we are making wish lists: North and West Tulsa need some attention with basic amenities (groceries) and control of absentee land lords.
