develops goals and objectives that will achieve the
vision of the corridor and evaluates feasible multimodal
alternatives.
Finally, urban corridor planning promotes
interagency cooperation and broad stakeholder
and public involvement. It integrally addresses
transportation improvements, land development
and redevelopment, economic development, scenic
and historic preservation, community character and
environmental enhancement in a unified process.
Because urban corridor planning affects a broad
spectrum of the community, public and stakeholder
involvement is a central element of the process.
Corridor planning addresses issues within the
corridor prior to project development for specific
transportation improvements.
The basic steps in the process, and how CSS
principles can be integrated, are described below.
Following this overview is a discussion of four
potential corridors which the City could focus on as
catalyst projects in the near future:
1. East-Side Bus Rapid Transit (BRT)
2. High Frequency Bus, Timed Transfer Station
and TOD at Utica Avenue and 21st Street
3. Cherry Street conversion to a Main Street
4. Park-Once District on Harvard at 11th
Corridor vision and
study Area Determination
The process begins by developing a vision for the
corridor. The vision is a corridor-wide expression
of how the facility and the areas it serves will look,
function, and feel in the future. From the vision,
goals and objectives define a framework for how to
implement the vision.
Public and stakeholder input and involvement are
critical to developing a vision, as the vision should
reflect the goals and objectives of the community
and address more than the transportation function
of the corridor.
The PLANiTULSA Vision and Comprehensive
Plan should be used to guide the corridor visioning
process. In addition to developing a vision, goals
and objectives for a corridor can occur as part of
a locally-sponsored (City or INCOG) long-range
transportation plan, small area planning process or
as a stand-alone urban corridor planning process.
Because the corridor visioning process feeds directly
into the project needs step, the two may be
conducted together.
