The City of Tulsa will dedicate the “Cultural Crossroads” of 11th Street (aka Route 66) and Yale Avenue at 10:30 a.m. 
Thursday, Oct. 24.
The project is part of the ongoing Vision 2025 sale-tax project of improvements on Route 66 in Tulsa County. The ceremony will be at the northwest part of the intersection, with parking available the nearby Tally’s Good Food Cafe.
According to a news release from the city:
Combined with a pavement rehabilitation project for the entire 11th and Yale intersection, the Scenic Byway – “Cultural Crossroads” consists of streetscape on all four corners. Decorative features include a one-of-a-kind concrete Route 66 shield embedded in the intersection, concrete emblems noting the eight states through which Route 66 passes, a Centennial Clock, and plaques describing the cultural development around the intersection.
City planner Dennis Whitaker provided a few more details about the intersection in an email:
The OK Centennial Clock has Route 66 on two sides and Tulsa on two sides.
There are eight bronze plaques on the brick pilasters; one thanks Vision 2025 supporters and the other seven tell the story over time of how the culture of the area grew through the decades between 1920 and 1960.
The text on the plaques put together a pretty good multi-faceted story.
Next on the project list is building Route 66 gateways in east and west Tulsa. And a draft concerning the Route 66 Interpretive Center (aka Route 66 Experience museum) has been submitted to the mayor for review, according the latest progress report from Vision 2025.
