______________________________________________________________________
As background, the City of Tulsa is responsible for clearing snow and ice from the Gilcrease Expressway (except for the Turnpike section), the L.L. Tisdale Expressway, and all arterial (main) streets. Other highway segments in Tulsa are the responsibility of the Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT).
After a snow or ice storm begins, the goal is to make expressways and arterial streets safe and passable as soon as possible. These resources are available to attain this goal:
Crews are assigned to 36 specific routes totaling approximately 1,770 lane-miles, which is roughly the same distance as driving from Tulsa to San Francisco.
Trash & Recycling
Haulers will make every attempt to collect all trash and recycling routes on Monday, but collections may begin a little later with staggered start times due to hilly areas and temperatures. The haulers will begin with trash service and then work on recycling. Please make sure that all carts have the lids securely closed as the rain will significantly degrade the recycling. If haulers run out of daylight before collections are completed, residents are asked to leave carts at the curb and every effort will be made to collect as weather permits. Bulky waste should be collected as usual, but there will be a late start on collections as some employees are involved in the weather response.
Residents are asked to remain patient as haulers will make every attempt to collect trash and recycling while ensuring employees and equipment are safe to travel in neighborhoods.
Warming Stations
Waterline Breaks
The City continues to respond to waterline breaks from this week’s extreme cold, with crews working around the clock to make repairs.
If you see a waterline break on a City street or in a right-of-way, call (918) 596-9488. Before calling, the best way to check to see whether the break has already been reported is through the City's waterline break dashboard, which can be found online at www.cityoftulsa.org/breakboard.
AMR/True Reads Update
The City’s True Reads program is expected to start on Monday, January 22. However, due to the likelihood of ice and freezing temperatures, crews may be delayed until Tuesday, January 23. True Reads is a citywide effort to replace 145,000 residential water meters with new automated meters. The program also includes a systematic investigation into service line material.
