Construction is underway on the new dam with a temporary coffer dam now in place on the west side of the river.  A portion of the old dam has been demolished already.  With the bridge construction starting so it can be built in conjunction with the dam and the Children’s Museum well underway I hope we can see new renderings of Phase 2 soon.  Specifically the park areas around the museum and along Crow Creek.

Should someone tell this petition.. They're late to the conversation?

Better late than never, especially when (at the very least) it results in some members of the public seeing a report that was misrepresented to them. See the pedestrian bridge thread ;]

Due to the pandemic, I haven't been out around Tulsa nearly as much in the past year. Hard to believe this project that we were looking forward to is already topped out.

It makes a big impact on Riverside.  Pretty cool to see the connection they are building to the jogging/bike trail that goes underneath the Crow Creek bridge.  This is the trail that will eventually connect to Brookside.

Our agency patrols the Kendall-Whittier Business District of Tulsa. Very nice improvements have made to this area.

Anyone know what's going on with the new dam construction? Seems like there was a ton of work going on last fall with removing parts of the old dam and putting those temporary piles of gravel or whatever on the west side of the channel.... but seems like I haven't seen anything going on for months now.

I think I remember seeing them saying work would be slow and or non existent during the spring time due to increased water flow from rain. They plan to do the majority of work during the summer and winter seasons when the river flow is not as high.

I was going to say the same thing.  This also affects the timeline for the pedestrian bridge.  As much as I like seeing the river full I realize lower water levels will likely accelerate construction on these projects that I’m looking forward to seeing completed.  It will be nice to have Zink Lake full year-round again and also to have direct access back to the West Bank via the new bridge on the Midland Valley trail.  Getting the dam/whitewater flume and bridge completed also enables the Gathering Place to complete their riverbank improvements and finally take down the fencing along the trail.

The City has a good contractor who is being properly cautious during higher flows especially while while working behind the coffer damn.  During the original construction there were several wash-outs and from experience when they fail, it happens quickly.
