TULSA, Okla. — Tulsa City Council and Tulsa Planning Office say they want public input on their plans to revitalize one of the city's busiest shopping areas.
The 71st Street Corridor Revitalization Project has three main components: simplifying zoning standards, beautification, and commercial redevelopment incentives.
"We have to update this corridor," says District 8 City Councilor Phil Lakin. "In order for it to perform for our city, we have got to update it.”
"I think a parking garage would really help out," says Tulsa resident Ted Kelley. "Since the Promenade closed, a lot of people are going to crowd in."
The project wouldn’t begin until next year if approved. While some residents aren't fully sold on the idea yet, they think it could be a good one in the long run.
"I think we need just more information about it," says Starr Fisher. "But I believe as far as tonight, it sounds like a good idea, but we just need more information."
The next meeting is at 1 p.m. on Oct. 18 at City Hall. City officials say all are welcome to attend.
