PLANiTULSA Process

Residents and stakeholders

are polled about their

ideas for PLANiTULSA

Citizen Committee establishes Guiding

Principles and meets regularly to

review progress

Citizens participate in citywide and

community-based workshops to

gather input for shared vision

Citizen input is captured on maps

to show desired future development

Scenarios are created that answer the

question, “If we do this, what would

happen?”

Indicators are established to evaluate each

scenario’s impact on Tulsa’s future

Citizens review scenarios and vote

on their desired future

A shared vision for the future is

created reflecting citizen input

What makes people walk?

– Pleasant and interesting environment at a human scale

Walkable neighborhoods have streets that connect uses, with arterials reserved for through

In most conventional suburban development, streets separate uses,

discouraging walking and forcing even local trips onto arterial roads.
