COMPrEHENSiVE PLAN
UPDATE PrOCESS.
To determine what Tulsans want
for the city’s future, PLANiTULSA
gathered public input in workshops,
in interviews with key groups, and
in surveys. We want:
• A vibrant and dynamic economy
• The ability to attract and retain young people
• An effective transportation system
What does Tulsa want
for its future?
Linda Allen
• A range of housing choices
• Emphasis on preserving the environment
and increasing sustainability
• A commitment to transparent, equitable
decision-making
A great city doesn’t just happen … it requires
considerable time, discussion, citizen
participation, leadership and creativity. There
are times in every great city’s history that are
particularly pivotal, where forward-thinking
decisions play a critical role in the city’s future
success. Now is such a time for Tulsa.
Overall, Tulsans are looking for change — in the form of
revitalization, expanded housing choices, a diverse and strong
economy, and more choices in how to get around town. But we
also want stability in certain key areas, such as in protecting and
enhancing our existing neighborhoods. And we want Tulsa to be
the kind of city where young people can get a great education,
build a career and raise a family. We expect that decisions will be
made openly and fairly, and we are committed to maintaining a
healthy environment.
