Figure 2, trends Continue scenario network represents the
transportation system analyzed in the trends Continue scenario.
it was based on the existing tulsa City-County Major street and
highway plan, which emphasizes the widening of existing roads. this
network reinforces the disaggregation of homes and employment, at
great cost to the city’s fiscal stability.
on the opposite page is Figure 3, the tulsa 2030 Goal recommended
network, which is also based on the street improvements in the
tulsa City-County Major street and highway plan. however, these
street improvements invest more selectively in roadway capacity in
coordination with new residential and employment densities and
improvements to transit service, walkability and bicycling facilities.
the result is an expanded, but more multi-modal and fiscally
sustainable network that better achieves Our Vision for Tulsa.
the projects in table 8 2030 Goal network Modifications should
be considered as part of future transportation and transit planning
activities. the adoption of the tulsa 2030 Goal demographics and
use of the sustainable network initiative and Context sensitive
streets process will provide transportation offcials with the ability to
program infrastructure improvements to complement sustainable
land development patterns.
the City of tulsa should work with inCoG to develop a common
demographic forecast, in addition to trends and other factors, that
reflects the implementation of the pLanitULsa policy plan. these
factors should be used to develop region-wide transportation
forecasts and guide transportation deicsion making.
