743Implement more sidewalks75841007578
887Stop children from panhandling at intersections! If adults cannot beg at the corners, why allow children? Not for sports teams, clubs, groups, or cheerleaders. I've seen children almost get hit by a car dodging in and out of traffic!75977875124
889Hire more people for code enforcement and animal control.75818175125

955Audits and free public financial oversight. Embezzlement, fraud, and negligence are the real reasons we aren't moving forward. The answers to all of our questions lead with a paper trail.72849572145
1011Allow farmers & or butchers to sell meat & produce directly to consumers. Have it all overseen by the food inspectors with the tulsa health department. This will support our local farmers, drive down food prices, break up big AG monoplies72809572194
1055If the turn pike is paid off, get rid of the tolls.72869572249

658Make Sculptures from Old Trees Being Clear cut in our Parks.7178967154

805Stop repatching our main roads and actually redo them.71959871104
811Let local residents have more say on public art installations in their neighborhoods so we won't have eye-sores like the Cry Baby Hill statue installed against the will of the public.718510071108

877Animal protection and enforcement! Oklahoma is known for treating our animals badly, neglecting, dumping and abusing them. There are some rules but judges don’t enforce them. Please make animals a priority we need serious education campaig71729671129
1042Start an Adopt a Mile (or adopt an area) program where churches, civic organizations, neighbors can agree to pick up trash in public spaces four (or more) times per year. City would provide trash bags and collect filled bags.71899971233
659Litter on our streets and roads have become a terrible impression of Tulsa. Use inmates to conduct cleanups and also promote a campaign for citizens to clean up their neighborhoods by supplying safety vests and trash bags7189717869
910either more reflective markers or reflective paint on the barriers of the sharp turns on downtown hwys71989571149
921Create a Tulsa ‘Fast Fix’ program for obvious small problems: broken sidewalks, unsafe crosswalks, bad lighting, missing signs, trash, potholes, etc. Let residents submit photos, track status. Cheap, easy, high impact issues fixed fast.71969871157
927Would love to see Tulsa become a city that doesn't have a stray animal problem. MUST HIRE MORE ANIMAL WELFARE OFFICERS. Why even operate when you cannot even provide the services needed?! We must have MORE low cost spay/neuter programs71849671142

636Also trade school incentives for middle school and high school students to avoid Prison.70831007062

772I would like to see a lot more native plants within the landscapes of Tulsa. Planting non native plants does nothing for our native ecosystem. Native plants require less maintenance, water and fertilizer than what is currently being done.6994986996
785Should Oklahoma invest in high-speed rail connecting Tulsa and OKC, and eventually Dallas and KC? Imagine traveling to Okc in less 45 minutes and Dallas in under 2 hours. No traffic and no airport hassle.69869869104
810Create more mixed-use developments in Tulsa that combine housing, small businesses, and office space into walkable districts. Currently, it separates where people work and live = long commutes, less connection and overlooked neighborhoods698810069114
830Incentivize companies that hire and develop trade skills for felons being released from prison within the first year. Skilled trades and gainful employment directly correlate to reduced repeat offenders.699210069128
956In our warmer months, TPD should have officers on bicycles, scooters, e-bikes, etc.. in our high-traffic pedestrian areas. Their presence outside of vehicles encourages engagement and typically deters crime.69798469164
853Increase the count of Code Enforcement personnel by 4x so Neighborhood issues can get addressed more rapidly, which will in turn reduce crime, beautify the city, reduce garbage, weed and mosquito issues and cut down on the homeless problem.69697980119
878MORE POLICE PATROLLING - Speeding vehicles; cars constantly in bike lanes; RUNNING RED LIGHTS AT ALL INTERSECTIONS;69697080129
900Please put officers on bicycles, e-bikes, scooters etc. Utilize them throughout our city. It IMPROVES ENGAGEMENT & is very helpful in high density areas.68797968134
912Work with the larger employers in the area to determine what jobs are not filled due to a lack of education/training and then collaborate with schools to create education/training programs, providing secure, well paid jobs with benefits.68959868145
930Do not allow out of state parking companies to manage Downtown Parking!!! 100% of the Money should come back to the city if we're going to require people to pay for parking downtown.689710068183
814Fully fund a new animal shelter facility and build it south of I-244 or even I-44. Bynum’s rushed vanity project is already too small & inadequate design compared to the previous shelter & our community’s needs. Build where adopters live!6868937394

665We talk about raising taxes, but incomes have remained flat. Create job and income growth to justify raising taxes.67761006757
680Invest in programs that help find careers for those with special needs.671001006774
718Ban operation of bright screen billboards and signage during the night to protect drivers' night vision.6788956769
722Road improvement and completion (example Sheridan between 71st to 101st) along with that the tons litter.6786976761
740Partner with local native nurseries for Tulsa Parks and public spaces that need plant sourcing. Planting natives reduces maintenance and irrigation needs.67941006798
747Companies like Walgreens, CVS, Salads to go, etc. should have some type of assessment from the city when they close and leave their building unoccupied. The amount of vacancies through out the city is high.67841006775
751Abandoned properties laws need more teeth - buildings that have been abandoned should be auctioned to entities to redevelop responsibly and promptly instead of allowing them to sit for 5-10 years or more.6797966795
807Build more sidewalks678610067109
843Tulsa needs more affordable housing for first time home buyers. So many of these properties are bought by out of state people using the properties for rentals, leaving nothing for residents.679010067127
848More art on public bridges that shows off our city. See Example: Kansas City.678310067114
880Build more sidewalks. Residents on on-arterial streets within city limits would apply to have sidewalks installed. Sidewalks increase safety for pedestrians, especially children. Funding should renew annually.679310067141
960Make Tulsa Beautiful again!! Cut and clean areas in North Tulsa.67709767155
964Prevent data center development from increasing utility costs and polluting neighborhoods679410067191

915More officers on patrol. More driving through neighborhoods. Warmer months give a great opportunity for officers on bicycles/e-bikes to actually engage with our communities.65657867148
1049we need more code enforcement officers to help here65786765201
918Restore and modernize Tulsa's aging public infrastructure facilities659410065161
567Library should accept cash. Cashless is classist65651007551

995Improve sidewalk coverage, condition, and accessibility citywide659310065191
801Riverside drive has a speeding issue. Its 35mph along the gathering place. Vehicles are consistently driving 45mph. A permanent traffic officer should be there.. it is a very heavy pedestrian area.6479646787
739Add covered benches to all bus stops6489986489
775Provide incentives and grants for investors to reinvest in existing shopping centers and vacant retail spaces before approving permits for new construction that consume more land. Why build outward when we can support smarter growth inward?6496956498
784Increase number of street lights on trails and paths6490966492
756We need more access to Low Cost Spay/ Neuter programs. We need more Animal Welfare Officers for the size of our city - and our Animal Welfare Officers need more power within the law to investigate animal abuse and unlawful dog breeding.6482986485
766Fix the roads downtown.64951006478
1068Add more covered benches at bus stops for disabled people, the elderly, and pregnant that protect them against the weather and allow them to rest while waiting for their ride.64939964291
895Build roundabouts instead of stop lights from now on. There are 2 stoplights on Mingo by the air port that stop you with 0 cars around. Roundsabouts flow more cars and are way cheaper to install and maintain.63688563131
929Start holding the construction company's accountable for maintenance on all the streets and hiways give us work updates and costs we pay tolls but every 6 months same area is getting redone due to poor work time limits should be given..63869663145
566Thanks for the leadership so far. My constant response for ideas is enhancement of Animal Welfare facilities and services to our community.6273976252
608Enforce the noise ordinance downtown. The motorcycles and cars that are deliberately loud and race around town all day and night is a quality of life issue impacting livability downtown and along riverside drive.6280636253
613More buses, more routes, trollies, trains, and park-and-rides. Getting around Tulsa without a car should actually work.62951006261
646Cops that violate citizens first amendment should be the ones paying those court cases, not our tax dollars.6265976259
648Commuter Train that runs from BA, Jenks and Bixby to downtown Tulsa and back62671006264
694Make playground improvements to Braden Park. It needs a Splash Playground, Better Swings, and a Solid Playground that has upgraded equipment.62821006258
734Drones and lasers for 4th of July. Other large cities have had success with this. The loud booms are a struggle for a larger portion of people every single year. It keeps our pets safer as well.6266886277
866Maybe add more services on the west side of downtown so the main area feels more safe, but we’re not reducing services6262987098
1065Direct more funding to mental health facilities so that we can reduce crime rates, homelessness, and drug abuse.62909962291
924Invest in housing opportunities for educated, working, young individuals and families, rather than “high risk” people62646262130
1054Remove property tax on homes and land owned by low income individuals and the elderly to prevent homelessness and because once you pay for something you should own it without fear that the government will steal it from you.62738962253
952We need true affordable housing for seniors, retirees, and people with physical challenges. Need to be easy to access and include laundry in units.62949962169
815Improve the sense of safety, cleanliness, and visual appeal of downtown Tulsa62919462112
833Add more sidewalks around the city for more walk-ability.629310062124

1071Invest in optimizing our public transportation to make it more accessible and efficient, and expand routes.619410061300
949Accelerate redevelopment of abandoned properties61939961182
1025Invest in more staff at Tulsa Animal Welfare Services to improve control over loose dogs that keep kids from walking to school, limit use of playgrounds and trails, and keep too many Tulsans from receiving mail and other deliveries.61759461179
1019Limit the allowable lumen output of digital billboards. These are unregulated, blinding drivers, and interfering with the migration paths of wildlife.61869761212
1046We should go to solar lights on the highways removing copper wiring which is the reason most lights are out. The wire has been stolen. Remove the issue, solve the lighting efficiency and get green points. Win win win61909861244
633Empower the arts commission, in collaboration with local artists and orgs to beautify the bridges, columns and underpasses. Involve students and people who need to complete community service.60791006069
661We complain about our streets. Conduct a study to determine if we can afford our streets. If not, create a plan to develop in a way that we can. If we can, create a plan show citizens how and when roads will be fixed.601001006050
716TPD/The city of Tulsa needs to do something about all of the RED LIGHT RUNNING. Its been seen consistently throughout Tulsa, often its very large, multi-ton vehicles/trucks. Heavy fines and suspension of driver license!!!6086626065
721Riverside Drive is out of control. Especially the guys on super bikes. Excessive speeding, doing wheelies, weaving in and out of traffic.In the 80s-90s we had police placed on RS. Bring it back for our safety, plus revenue for the city.6095608071
755Add more lights on city streets for folks feel safer walking around at night. Add visible camera from the road as well, and maybe even Emergency buttons.6079886086
826Utilize the funding that is collected from lottery to surplus education instead of only filling the gap left from taxes! Accountability of where the remaining money is going. Education is our biggest problem.60869960109
917Add neighborhood lighting to encourage community involvement and safety in our neighborhoods60849360152
942Figure something out with the homeless other wise, all these ideas are pointless60739160121
982EVERY City contract must show how it TRULY a) saves tax the payer b) generates City income and/or c) provides for the citizenry greater than if done by the City itself. Must be included in an annual open audit paid by the contractor.60819760173
985Pay teachers more. Spend more money on books so they have enough to go around in each class. It’s embarrassing and sad that we rank 50th in education! We can do better! And none of the whitewashing of history either. History = facts.608910060190

869Help us to figure out how to lower the rental prices on housing, plus lower water/sewage that is offered with that property so the prices stay the same every month. Prices seem to rise up and down every time the water price does.35819935116
1026I believe with the new true international travel opportunities into and out of Tulsa that the demand for bus or lite rail will be there. I say this because there is only so much parking at the airport.35839735179
1027Halt lane expansion both on highways and in residential areas, as there is evidence to prove that this does nothing to help traffic.35487435173

914Get rid of the bike lanes on major thoroughfares to reduce traffic congestion and maintenance costs of painting lines35443562145

1090Increase the number of public buildings that have solar panels and other sustainable energy sources, reducing energy costs that taxpayers foot the bill for.348410034326

620Living downtown, the #1 quality of life issue is the noise of motorcycles. I'm told there is a sound ordinance but it is never enforced. There should be a noise ordinance that is enforced for loud motorcycles in downtown Tulsa.3377553354
642A way to help them is get rid of the drugs and dealers. Get rid of the supply that is keeping most of them unhoused! The ones want to work a program & help themselves help them. Tulsa work a program or leave! SOLUTIONS!3350336751

882Expand the number of flights coming in and out of the Tulsa International Airport and model it after Singapores National Airport so it becomes a tourist destination and a tax revenue generator.33457933118

938Help homeowners with grants to fix their homes33909733155
940Bike club and walk clubs33749733129
1007Establish an organization called Beautiful Tulsa. The idea would be to work on the aesthetic beauty of the Tulsa area. They would work with nonprofits, organize volunteers, fund raise etc. Intersections, parks, downtown, etc would benefit.33899733188
1036Install modular steel barriers to protect boilers on Avery Drive3350863391
1037Significantly reduce single-use zoning to reduce the soulless urban sprawl and promote mixed-use areas that promote walkability and community33819833225

1080The City should explore ways to expand revenue to continue investing in public safety, infrastructure, housing, youth, families, homelessness, and core services.32849832302
783Quit licensing dogs & cats. Instead, license the owners after training and testing. Each animal has to be tagged with owner information, license number and permit type. Owner, breeder, rescue, trainer, and groomer permit types perhaps?3232538368
1076Provide real-time translation body cameras to all police officers to ensure effective communication with non-English speaking residents.31779631285

883Promote more block parties in neighborhoods.31769731128
928End current data centers and don't allow any more in the future. They poison the water supply and pollute the air. A single hyperscale data center destroys hundreds of acres of wildlife habitat.31809531158
933Random neighborhood speed bumps Slow the flow of traffic (SPEEDWAY).31697931136
1056A plan for city maintained trash cans to support the trash needs of unhoused people. In my area, that would likely be a large can at the bus stop.31859931254

601A Crybaby Hill sculpture that is made by a local artist and actually reflects the culture, not like that other one.3092963050
647Start switching the street lighting to red to protect nocturnal ecosystems from light pollution. This has proven energy efficient and cost effective in many cities already. We need these animals and we are in a major bird migration zone.3065933060

757It would be great if Tulsa citizens had a stronger voice in selecting what businesses come to Tulsa. The amount of fast-food is disheartening. And why do we have no say in all of these Dollar Generals all over?!3061933076
990Downtown offers food, beverage, offices and living spaces. What does it offer to actually "do?" Where are the pickle ball courts? Where are the playgrounds? Basketball courts? TopGolf? And where is the retail?!?29609029163
1066Mandate every new parking lot development has to replace 50% of the space the destroyed with green space. This could be done through plants, gardens, tree canopy, solar cover, as long as we replace the gray with green.29839929278
693Cap how many residential investment properties can be owned individuals. Not LLC's or similar business. An individual can be represented by multiple LLC's. Home ownership, not renting, is a bedrock, that should be protected and regulated.2979952970
706City jobs that pay a living wage and better the entire community: fill in potholes, repair broken sidewalks, pick up trash, plant native trees, build/renovate low-income housing.291001002976
709Why doesn't the city utilize vacant buildings like the old Sheraton on 41st for temporary housing for the homeless? There is a banquet room that could be used for things like substance abuse aid and employment specialist.2956952970

846Move the homeless shelters out of downtown. Tulsa is already so small and so much of downtown does not feel like a safe place to be.29295640110

1045Remove poisons like fluoride from our drinking water.29294841232
1072We need more public transportation accessible vans for those that depend on rides and can’t use the city bus. Especially for college students! (There are over 50,000 college students in Tulsa alone!)28839928270

1008Build trolly systems designed based on New Orleans. One of the end points of the trolly could be the blue dome district.28699628190

829Establish a Tulsa Metro Transit Authority with the specific directed of using the existing rail ways to add a light rail from Broken Arrow to Tulsa as an alternative to the never wide enough Broken Arrow Expressway.27879427111

565The City of Tulsa needs to fund public daycare & early childcare education. Period.2573882556
631Stop the expansion of the Owasso rock quarry. The companies are causing earthquakes that destroy foundations. They are expanding further and closer to homes. People are getting sick. We should not have a cancer pit in the middle of town.2587902552
656If you really wanted to make it efficient you would have wind turbines and solar on every building the simple fact that you have it miles away does nothing except cost everybody money2540892551
664Keep tolls but bring price down just for maintenance!2550742556
692Tulsans need more power in deciding what businesses open in our city. The amount of fast-food is shameful. Poor health is rampant in Tulsa- we need more clarity it why we welcome certain businesses.2569892559
769Make public schools available to nonprofits offering tutoring, summer camps, etc for free or very reasonable rates.2583942588

611Build community centers for every neighborhood to give people a free place to connect and hangout with their neighbors.2290972255

871I would like to know who the mayors endorsing for governor cause I haven’t really seen anybody that I liked and has anyone asked Michael Todd to run for governor he has a very strong presence in Tulsa just might work6637866
945Sounds like a bunch of NIMBY nonsense. Why can’t we make Tulsa a better place for them to stay? Provide more resources to get the majority back on their feet (I realize there are outliers and people who don’t want/can’t accept help).644946114
786Completely dissolve the police department01924098
