A New Look at River Development?

Mr. K is our new best friend.

An article in the Tulsa World on July 23rd gave us a little more insight to the 10 mil grant from the Kaiser foundation.That initial money seems to be for public amenities such as trails, lighting and bridge improvements. That's a start. But when you're paying the bills, you might want to have some say in what the final plan will look like. Introducing Bing Thom.

Mr. Thom is not the kind of guy that you bring in just to place some lighting. For his expertise, and a look at what he did (or designed) for downtown Fort Worth, could it be that he's here to provide a new overall design for the river? We'll see in time.
