Small Area Plans (SAPs) were community-driven neighborhood plans that helped define their residents’ vision for the future, enable the City to prioritize and coordinate capital projects, and set the stage for ensuing private investment. With goals to enhance quality of life and public safety, SAPs addressed elements of the built environment such as housing, businesses, parks/open space, public infrastructure (e.g. flood control, water/sewer services), and the transportation network that connects them, including sidewalks, crosswalks, bike lanes, trails, paths, and the street network.
Vibrant Neighborhoods Partnership (VNP) is a community-driven program that improves the quality of life in Tulsa’s neighborhoods through targeted public support and service delivery. The goal of VNP is to bring City departments, community partners, and neighborhood residents together to identify and address key issues through clearly defined actions for a set period of time. Participating neighborhoods undergo a 6-month collaborative planning process to determine neighborhood goals and develop a neighborhood action plan.
The Complete Streets work group includes members from fourteen City departments, outside entities, and agencies. The work group has reviewed the City’s complete streets policy/procedural manual and conducted strategic planning exercises, and recommends two pilot projects for inclusion in this funding proposal. Planning staff used the data analysis conducted by the work group as a starting point for prioritizing the list of proposed pilot projects, and considered other factors such as alignment with other funded infrastructure projects, City priorities, economic development opportunities, and lifting up historic areas that have faced decades of disinvestment. Both of the proposed pilot projects will have a significant benefit to the City with regard to enhanced walkability, the public transit experience, economic development, and other placemaking efforts, and will allow the City to evaluate long-term maintenance costs of these types of installations.
