How would you prioritize the needs to be addressed by the future City of Tulsa vision?

I walk the river almost daily during all seasons. I like the river waterflow as it is now, similar to the braided prairie river, but managed for flood control. This offers the best opportunity for wildlife observation and is an authentic image of the historical ecosystem. Lakes are dead water and they are boring. No further retail or entertainment uses should be allowed between Riverside Drive and the river. The existing entertainment uses are unsightly, smelly and noisy intrusions that require extensive loss of park land for parking. Those uses should be restricted to the west bank, which enjoys great views of the city.

Priorities assuming the Vision 2025 Tax is extended. Our streets are worse than deplorable and we need a larger police force. Many of the other items will follow if we address the first two properly. I'm opposed to spending hundreds of millions of dollars on creating low water dams along the Arkansas River so we can look at silty brown water. When Tulsa had the Great Raft Race annually, everyone was warned to stay out of the water or limit their immersion for health reasons.

There is more to Tulsa than just downtown and the river. Those attending events here that travel the rest of the city must surely notice the poor construction of our streets and the lack of planning as evidenced by the overabundance of four to two lane intersections and the absence of sidewalks. Adequate and open roadways contribute to economic development, traffic safety, more pride in neighborhoods and would enable residents to address many of the other things on this list themselves to improve quality of life.

Along with street improvements, I would add "infrastructure improvement" to repair/replace old water, gas, and sewage lines and to bury electric lines where possible.

Need to spend money on ordinance enforcement and improving/adding parks and dog parks across the city. Beautification of low-income neighborhoods to help improve property values and way of lives.

Traffic safety and public safety go hand-in-hand. Add MARKED bike lanes along "bike routes", widen the lanes on Peoria, Utica, 31st Street, etc. Add/repair sidewalks throughout midtown.

Downtown and mid-town do not need help with economic development. The rich fat-cat developers are seeing to that. Instead, focus economic development on the lower-income parts of town. Meet their basic needs/wants and get property values up.

With the Gathering Place being built, we DO NOT NEED to spend money on low water dams. No one (in their right mind) wants to swim or boat in that nasty radioactive waste. Spend money on improving/fixing/adding trails along the river. This is a low priority issue.

Keep Uber and Lyft and we'll continue to have great transportation.

I think the city needs more done to improve the basics before development of the river. after all, the Arkansas River is a prairie river. It's supposed to be mostly dry in the summer. If it must be developed, have sandy beaches on the sand bars.

Spending that much money for river development when our streets are in barley usable condition is a travesty.

Until we can provide a safe environment in which crime is reduced, streets are improved, and residents can feel comfortable in their surroundings, Tulsa will not be a high priority for new residents. Forget the glitz and glamour projects and provide police and fire protection, safety enforcement, and improve our schools with more teachers and less administrators.

If we start with transportation, the others will fall into place. More people on buses, trolleys, rapid transit, etc... means less cars on the street. http://www.pbs.org/frontlineworld/fellows/brazil1203/transportation.html
Less use for cars means more money in people's pockets, which benefits the local economy. I would get rid of my car in a second if I could get around efficiently by bus and trolley and bike and walking. More people walking on streets increases the likelihood they will spend more money. When the economy is doing better FOR EVERYONE, that improves the quality of life and public safety. We all know that fewer cars on the streets means less wear and tear on the streets. Since we have extreme temperature changes, I would like to see Tulsa invest in a method for laying streets, using new technology where the concrete heals itself. http://www.cnn.com/2015/05/14/tech/bioconcrete-delft-jonkers/
Also, here's a novel idea, build fewer streets that will need to be fixed.
Transportation, Transportation, Transportation

Concentration on improving transportation and connectivity is the best ways to make the city unique and desirable compared to (especially) regional and national competitors.

Once we make Tulsa a more livable place (better transportation/streets/infrastructure) it will be so much easier to then focus on beautification and quality of life, which will never make up for a lack of the former.
