The evictions for the apartment demolition have begun.

I’m disappointed to see that, but sounds as if they will be putting mixed income housing back in during phase II.

I wouldn't hold your breath on that one. Slowly but surely the low to moderate cost apartment housing along Riverside has disappeared. Some of it thankfully. The more confident owners are that the area will support higher rents, the more likely "mixed" will not materialize. Westport could be on the chopping block if any substantial development arrives on that side.

Good news is that my old unit from the mid 70's and the olympic size pool and clubhouse escaped the dozer. for now.

It’s Kaiser’s ball, so I’m going to trust it will happen for now.

Riverside Traffic to be Impacted by 'Gathering Place' Construction

http://publicradiotulsa.org/term/local-regional



Quote
Tulsa's next traffic bottleneck will be Riverside Drive. The City held a meeting last night to detail how the construction of 'A Gathering Place for Tulsa' will impact Riverside Drive.

There will be lane shifts and closures, and this time next year the entire roadway will be closed near the Pedestrian Bridge. That means drivers will have to find new routes into and out of downtown Tulsa.

The roadway will be ripped-up and replaced along with utilities in that same area. City leaders say while it will be an inconvenience in the short term, the new world-class park will be worth the wait.

I still remember the rage expressed by runners when the path was interrupted to build the low water dam. People don't like their regular routines changed.

I expect the BA and HWY 75 will get much more crowded.  Thankfully the NB 75/244 bridge over the Arkansas is scheduled to be finished on August 4th.

Any plans on 75 getting widened to 6 lanes within the next year?

It's Oklahoma.

Think about it though.  It'd bring Glenpool to your front door.  Glenpool!
