Tulsa’s Route 66 Master Plan will have public viewings

Two public viewings are scheduled for the Vision 2025 initiative's Route 66 Master Plan in Tulsa County.

The news release I received a few days ago says this:

The Route 66 Project was selected as part of Vision 2025 to create a tourist destination that would appeal to several generations — those with memories of traveling along Route 66, and those who haven't grown up traveling Route 66, but who would visit fun, new attractions near the historic road.

Route 66 as a tourist attraction also would encourage commercial investment and economic development of the corridor, which through Tulsa includes 11th Street, Southwest Boulevard and Admiral Place.

The master plan will be on display at:

— Zarrow Public Library, 2224 W. 51st St., from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Tuesday.

— East Central High School cafeteria, 12150 E. 11th St., 5:30 to 7 p.m. May 23.

Comment forms will be available.

As a sweetener for Route 66 fans, cruise-friendly vehicles will be displayed at the meeting sites, including a 1942 Chevrolet pickup, a 1956 Chevrolet Bel-Air and a 2004 Harley Davidson motorcycle.

If you can't make it to the meetings, the plan can be downloaded in three parts: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3.

And here's an archive about developments with the Route 66 Master Plan.
