Thread: Gathering Place for Tulsa will be world-class park

  1. Default Re: Gathering Place for Tulsa will be world-class park

    They started tearing down the last segment of empty apartments yesterday. These are the ones where the crow creek residential development will go. I know this becauSe they are right behind my house, it's pretty cool to see.

    I hope you own your house, your property value is about to explode.

    I wish. My landlord is great though, I don't pay nearly as much as I should. I hope that doesn't change soon.

    Play towers have been delievered to the park and will be erected soon. I haven't seen any updates regarding the timeline. I'm assuming phase one is still on schedule to be completed this year (December 1st was the date I heard most recently).

    The city narrowed down the design concepts for the new pedestrian bridge to four finalists:
    #1

    #2

    #3

    #4

    I like the openness of 1 and the weirdness of 4.

    They picked some damn ugly finalists, but of them, I'd have to go with #4.

    One of the requirements is that it fit the modest $24.5 million budget for the project.

    I like 4 because it appears to have some green areas.

    I don't see anything that tops 4. I has an organic yet modern look and it kinda looks like a skeleton!

    I'll be the odd guy out. I like 2. Nice simple curves and it appears to have a wide area towards the west end for congregating on the bridge. Be a nice place for benches and to sit and relax.

    Options one and four have moved to the next stage. The designers have been asked to take public input on the designs and see how the bridges can be improved based on that input.

    The architects will work with project engineers from this point on to make sure the designs meet the $25 million budget. Mayor Bynum has also asked that designers come up with alternate $40 million options on the designs as the city is going to work on getting donors to increase the budget.

    The park and Riverside Drive have delayed opening until "late spring or summer 2018". The Children's Playground is supposed to open ahead of everything else in January 2018.

    Phase II and the Tulsa Children's Museum are supposed to break ground in late 2018 and be completed by 2020. That is around the time the low water dam, whitewater flume and new pedestrian bridge should be completed *crosses fingers*

    The "Gateway Bridge" is the chosen winner (design #1 above).
    Construction will begin in 2018.

    I feel like I'm in a different state when I visit Tulsa. It has a different vibe. It might be all the QuikTrips...

    The area around Utica Square is beautiful.

    I'm very jealous of it. It's going to be an amazing park!

    Agree it has a completely different feel than OKC especially along the river and in midtown. And this park will fit in well in this area as most of it was already green space before.

    Besides the attractions like the playgrounds, boathouse, whitewater flume and trails this is also the crossing point for two of the main trails through Tulsa: the Midland Valley which will cross the river on the new pedestrian bridge and connects the park to Cherry St and downtown; and the east bank river trails which are now separated into two trails for walking/jogging and biking all the way from 11th to the Jenks pedestrian bridge and Creek Turnpike trail (over 10 miles). Eventually there will also be a trail along Crow Creek that connects the park to Brookside.

    It's a really cool town, that comment was mostly tongue in cheek.
