Dialog / Vision 2025
The regional vision process continues and the deadline for submitting projects has passed, but you can learn about the process at the Tulsa Region website.

The Downtowns and Neighborhoods strategies document is well worth reading.

At our March meeting, we looked at the list of proposals submitted for consideration by the Dialog / Vision process. Here it is, in Microsoft Excel format and in Adobe Acrobat (PDF) format.

Here is a list of the members of the Leadership Team and Coordinating Committee for the Dialog / Vision process.

Summary of zoning code changes proposed by TMAPC
In December 2000, the TMAPC began considering a wide range of amendments to Tulsa's zoning code. The proposed changes have been approved by the City Council. Click here for a summary of these changes.

Comments on the convention and tourism task force effort
At the April 2000 meeting, the Midtown Coalition discussed the Convention and Tourism Task Force and voted to send a letter to the City Council outlining several concerns.

Council candidate questionnaire:
Before the 2000 municipal primary election, the Midtown Coalition board mailed a brief questionnaire to all City Council candidates, asking for them to respond to proposed zoning reforms. The proposed reforms are intended to give neighborhoods more control over future development. Although the elections are over, the candidates' responses are still illuminating.
