Volunteer sign inspectors

I can't believe that the primary source of entertainment information for many people is tattered trash stuck onto poles.

Even if that was the case, why not lean on the "entertainment district" businesses to allow their windows be used for informational posters, or establish bulletin boards for such things in their restrooms?  How about the district pitch in for a kiosk or two that could be plastered silly with posters?

Or, in Tulsa's case, how about just picking up an Urban Tulsa and browsing through it?  So simple and so decidedly un-trashy looking!

Agreed!

Urban Tulsa is plastered with large ads from some of the trashiest places in town.  Not everyone is going to pick up the Urban Tulsa and ferret through their list of best advertising buyers (ahem, I mean "Best of Tulsa" list)  To their credit, they do have a decent live music calender, but a tiny black and white print is all you get if the date is forwarded to them in time for print.  Its easier to find a massage w/ happy ending in the Urban Tulsa.

I have seen in many cities where they have street level, billboard type structures that are set up in areas specifically for people to post their events and such. I have seen large ones a block long and smaller ones that are at bus stops, and ones that are covered with glass that are unlocked at regular times for posting flyers. There are all types and sizes. I think it would be nice to have one in an area like brookside, and one on cherrystreet, the blue dome etc.  This way local bands, gallery openings, and the like could have a place to put their flyers legally and in places where there is a lot of foot and drive by traffic. Would be good for them and good for us.  



I dont like seeing those "no river tax" signs all over the place and since there isnt going to be an election in 45 days they are illegal.  They, like many other signs I have seen, dont have any phone # to call.

Good idea about the kiosk. Make it do double duty by making it a rest area/bus stop.

Workers do still climb the poles. My brother is a SWB worker. He had to go to school to learn to climb the poles we climbed in grade school without training.

Agree. How about encouraging some of the business owners in these Districts to provide these kind of bulletin boards.  Meanwhile continue to pressure city leaders to address the issue on city right-of-ways.

Excellent idea about the kiosks.
