  • Share what you consider are strengths in the Arena District. This can be an institution, business, place, or destination.
    • Central Library - great building, great programming, great staff. Love this library. Wish there was a better plaza!
    • Denver Avenue - great connection between historic neighborhoods and Arkansas River
    • TulsaHub and MixCo - this area should always be welcome to nonprofits and small businesses
  • Share what you consider as weaknesses in the Arena District. This can be a street or intersection, a place, or a building.
    • The name. Why is it the Arena District? There are so many different uses in the area and it just doesn't make sense as the identity for the area
    • Parks - there's not a lot of public spaces to hang out and feel welcome to be there
    • BOK Center - sure it brings in big names and good shows HOWEVER it doesn't inspire me to stay in the space. I go to a show and then I leave. How does it actually benefit the district right now, other than just bringing in a mass of people for 2-4 hours? It doesn't.

    • Denver could be a great corridor but is so unfriendly to anything other than cars. There should be streetscaping efforts along the street such as bike lanes and improved crosswalks
    • Boulder and Cheyenne have so many great buildings but are they really part of the district? There should be connectivity efforts (wayfinding?) done if they're going to stay in the district.
    • As long as the Page Belcher building is being underutilized, this area will never be as vibrant as it could be. Something needs to happen to that space!
FeedbackTulsa is not a certified voting system or ballot box. As with any public comment process, participation in FeedbackTulsa is voluntary.

What are my options to participate?

FeedbackTulsa has two participation channels:

  • The Registered Channel: Sign in before or just after you submit your response. Either way, Community Feedback will show your response on this website.
  • The Unregistered Channel: Don't sign in and remain anonymous. Community Feedback will just share your response with Tulsa staff.

Note: The first time you sign in, you'll need to register (establish an account on FeedbackTulsa). Registration is free.

Why do I need to sign in to show my response on this website?

The City of Tulsa has contracted with Community Feedback to monitor responses shown on this website.

  • To prevent any single user from dominating the forum, the City of Tulsa restricts the number of responses any one user can post on selected topics. Registration helps Community Feedback enforce this restriction.
  • Users, staff and government leaders often want to know the neighborhood from which a response is posted. Community Feedback uses registration to show the neighborhood next to each response (not the address).
  • If a user posts a response that does not meet the City of Tulsa guidelines for civility, Community Feedback uses the user's email address to invite the user to resolve the issue.
I'm concerned about privacy. Who will get my contact information and what will they use it for?

Community Feedback will get your contact information. The company is under contract with the City of Tulsa to hold it in strict confidence per their privacy policy.

What other benefits do I get from signing in?
  • Since you'll see your own response on FeedbackTulsa, you'll be able to confirm that your response was posted as you intended.
  • You'll be able to change and/or delete your response as long as the topic is open.
I'm still very concerned about privacy. Is there a way for me to submit a response without registering?

Yes. Sign out, then set your privacy preference to be "No - just show it without my name to staff". You won't need to register.

What prevents an unregistered user from submitting multiple anonymous responses?

While no authentication procedure can perfectly detect every fraudulent registration, Community Feedback is able to secure the registered channel against systematic fraud: cases where users submit enough statements with fraudulent registrations to sway the overall interpretation of the feedback.

Community Feedback is unable to secure the unregistered channel against systematic fraud, because unregistered users are anonymous.

Neither the registered nor the unregistered channel represent a certified voting system or ballot box - and that caveat is footnoted on every page of feedback. Instead, both are additional channels for feedback to government.

Why are there two participation channels?

Users can participate on the registered channel (by signing in) or on the unregistered channel (by remaining anonymous). The City of Tulsa offers both channels in order to broaden participation and maximize decision makers' insights.

The registered channel enables users to assure decision makers that their feedback comes from a real person in a specific neighborhood. It also enables users to participate in a public discussion on the website, as well as manage their own response after posting it.

The unregistered channel is for users who want to provide quick feedback without registering, and/or whose privacy concerns would prevent them from participating if required to register. Because many users with valuable insights will only share them anonymously, this channel gives decision makers the option to consider those insights in their deliberations.

What is OpenGov?

OpenGov is a non-partisan company whose mission is to broaden civic engagement and build public trust in government. The City of Tulsa has contracted with OpenGov to administer FeedbackTulsa.
