I hate for this to resurface, but we have to get the word out. PSO is at it again, Butchering the trees. If you are a home owner and they have come by and said they would do a light trim, I advise to be present when they trim. If your not home, they will cut back and you end up with a half a tree. Many unhappy owners between 36th and 41st Lewis area. Lewis looks aweful. Please forward this to as many people as possible.
A message from a midtown resident
Written by Gator783 on March 6th, 2010See What is Happening in Midtown!
Written by PreserveMidtown on March 4th, 2010PreserveMidtown made this video last year to show some of the infill building problems in midtown Tulsa. After a driving tour of neighborhoods, there are testimony’s from several homeowners who are suffering with quality livability, environmental and economic remediation problems caused by new infill. At this time, there are two active lawsuits two of the homeowners have filed against the builders involved. This infill was approved and permitted by the City of Tulsa.
Well-attended PlaniTulsa Hearing
Written by PreserveMidtown on March 3rd, 2010I went to the well attended PlaniTulsa TMAPC hearing last Tuesday and heard inner-city real estate developer, home builder and Tulsa resident Jamie Jameson speak about his enthusiastic support for the PlaniTulsa plan approval. He was one of many there who gave strong support for this plan with the message that our current out-of-date comprehensive plan does NOT work. If we want Tulsa to be the progressive, vital city it was once, we need PlaniTulsa. Please follow this link to Mr. Jameson’s letter.
PlaniTulsa TMAPC advocacy from Jamie Jamieson
I urge everyone who has seen or experienced changes to their neighborhoods that they wish were not there, or want changes that you have been left out of to take this last chance, on Wednesday, March 10 at 1:30 pm at TMAPC meeting on the 2nd floor of City Hall, to speak up for this new plan that will lead Tulsa into a bright future for all its citizens.
DO NOT ASSUME that this plan will move forward exactly as the citizens of Tulsa have requested. Special interest groups will make certain their opinion is considered in the adoption of PlaniTulsa. Do not let their influence stop the progress Tulsa needs so desperately. Send an email to Theron Warlick, Project Manager, twarlick@cityoftusa.org and let the Planning Commisssion know that you want this PlaniTulsa Plan.
Thank you,
