Three citywide town hall meetings have been scheduled for the third installment of the Improve Our Tulsa, with a public vote planned for Aug. 8.
“In the decade since voters approved the original Improve Our Tulsa package, Tulsans have been a part of the largest streets improvement program in our city’s history – work that continues today, with many projects completed and others in progress,” Mayor G.T. Bynum said. “Having made these investments, we can address deferred maintenance of city facilities in a third Improve Our Tulsa package, while also strengthening public safety and proactively protecting our street assets. The Tulsa City Council and I hope that many Tulsans will come to these public meetings to discuss priorities for our next funding package.”
The schedule for the Improve Our Tulsa town hall meetings is as follows:
“Please join us at our town hall meetings to share in the decision-making process about our next package and hear about our needs for city facilities that are used by employees, Tulsans, and visitors from around the world.” City Council Chair Crista Patrick said. “It is time we prioritize these facilities as everyone deserves the best quality, experience, and work environment that we can provide. Every voice at the table is critical as it is only together that we can improve our Tulsa.”
Last month, Mayor Bynum presented his Improve Our Tulsa proposal to the City Council, a $772 million package that will not raise taxes, but fund critical improvements to Tulsa’s streets, City facilities and equipment and provide substantial funding toward a $104.2 million Tulsa Housing Initiative that will help fill a critical need for housing in Tulsa.
