Southwest Tulsa Planning group is aware of a funding package for trails to be submitted in July for TEA-21 funds. The trail is transportation supported by the Neighborhoods and a funding opportunity of this magnitude will not be available for several years. This package is also supported by the Southwest Tulsa Education Initiative because it supports their environmental education programs at Remington and is supported by private schools like Riverfield Country Day School for the same reason. Southwest Tulsa is experiencing quality development such as the new Tulsa Hi and there is great potential along the trail for residential and commercial development.
