Petitioners don’t want mall by Turkey Mountain
Infrastructure was another big concern. The traffic an outlet mall would bring to this street would be problematic. The Southwest Tulsa Area Chamber wants to encourage development that brings in sales tax, but they’ll be advocating for the infrastructure changes that would be necessary to make it all safe.
“It’s very heavily traveled. People sometimes park on the side of the road, and they’re trying to imagine something like a huge store and the traffic that it would take to get to that store,” says Matt Crain, from the Southwest Tulsa Area Chamber.
Many people we spoke with said they weren’t against the mall. They just don’t want it anywhere near the park.
“I mean we could use another outlet mall but not at Turkey Mountain. That’s our place to go walk,” says Moore.
