City's future discussed at PlaniTulsa Citizens Team meeting

At one point during his Tuesday night presentation on development scenarios for the city of Tulsa, John Fregonese had to admit that even he was confused.

“That’s the problem with scenarios,” he said. “I’m all confused now about what to do in Tulsa.”

He was kidding, of course. But it was a point well made.

Fregonese, the city’s consultant on the creation of new comprehensive plan, held a nearly two-hour give-and-take with the PlaniTulsa Citizens Team. It was all part of a sneak preview of the four development scenarios Tulsans will be asked to comment on next month.

And he wasn’t sparing details. Included in his presentation were facts about gas savings, transportation options and population growth. It was dizzying stuff for the uninitiated.

Luckily, he had a captive — and knowledgeable — audience. The Citizens Team was on hand to not only digest the information, but to help Fregonese and his team from Fregonese Associates of Portland, Ore., come up with ways to make it more understandable to the general public.
