  • Tulsa Local Pulse: Phone bans, water updates, holiday events, and a community spirit boost

    Tulsa Local Pulse: Phone bans, water updates, holiday events, and a community spirit boost
    2025/12/13
    Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Saturday, December 13, 2025.

    We start today with a change from City Hall that will affect how we drive near our schools and work zones. According to KRMG and FOX23, the Tulsa City Council passes a new ordinance that makes it illegal for us to hold or text on our phones while driving through school zones and active construction areas. Fines can go up to about one hundred dollars, and officers cannot take our phones without permission. Hands free and voice controls stay allowed, and there is an exception for emergencies, like calling 911. This kicks in as soon as the mayor signs it, so we want to be extra careful on streets like Yale near Edison High and around the ongoing work on Highway 169.

    On the utilities side, KTUL reports that many of us will see water service line letters in the mail this month. These are federal EPA notifications, not shutoff warnings, and they do not mean our water is unsafe. Tulsa has checked tens of thousands of lines and has not found any lead service lines, only a small number of short lead connectors that crews remove when they find them. So if we get a letter, it just means the city is still confirming what kind of pipe runs to our home.

    Weather wise, we wake up to a chilly December morning. Skies stay mostly clear with cool, dry air in place, so outdoor plans like holiday shopping at Woodland Hills Mall or a walk along Riverside Drive should be comfortable by midday with a jacket. Tonight turns colder again, and the short term outlook keeps us seasonably cool and dry through the weekend, good news for travel and events.

    Downtown, our big cultural highlight is the Tulsa Christmas Parade. NewsChannel 8 says the parade steps off at 11 this morning with the theme OklaHome for Christmas, celebrating our music history. Floats honor the Church Studio, we see the American Waste Control train, and Santa rides in to hand out around ten thousand free toys along the route through downtown, near Boston Avenue and 3rd Street.

    In North Tulsa, KTUL shares that the North Tulsa Economic Development Initiative hosts its Angel Tree Community Celebration today from 11 to 2 at the Shoppes on Peoria at 1717 North Peoria. Registered families pick up gifts, and neighbors can enjoy a community day focused on helping kids. It is a great example of how our side of town comes together during the holidays.

    On the jobs and business front, holiday hiring continues across midtown and south Tulsa, with major retailers and distribution centers still looking to fill seasonal roles, many paying around fifteen dollars an hour. Real estate agents report that roughly two hundred homes remain active on the Tulsa market this weekend, with median prices hovering in the mid two hundreds, giving buyers and sellers some breathing room heading into year end.

    Sports fans, our Golden Hurricane men’s basketball team rides a hot streak. The University of Tulsa says the team sits at nine wins and one loss, its best start in more than a decade, and plays New Mexico State this afternoon at 2 in a neutral site game down in Frisco, Texas. They score over one hundred points per game at the Reynolds Center lately, so we keep an eye on that matchup and hope they push the streak to seven wins. Local high school winter sports are also in full swing, with several Tulsa Public Schools teams picking up early season tournament wins across the metro this week.

    For crime and public safety, KTUL reports that officers arrest a suspect after a disturbance at the QuikTrip at 49th and Harvard on Thursday evening. Police say the man throws chunks of concrete at windows and a vehicle, tries to run, but officers catch him and book him on property damage and resisting charges. No serious injuries are reported, and the store reopens quickly, but it is a reminder for us to stay aware even at familiar late night stops.

    Our feel good note today comes from the same spirit we see on Peoria and downtown. Between the Angel Tree gifts in North Tulsa and the ten thousand toys Santa hands out along the parade route, thousands of local kids wake up this weekend knowing their community is behind them. Those moments, more than anything, define who we are as a city.

  • Tulsa's Tragic Collisions, Housing Audits Delayed, Route 66 Centennial Plans, and Addiction Recovery Funding

    Tulsa's Tragic Collisions, Housing Audits Delayed, Route 66 Centennial Plans, and Addiction Recovery Funding
    2025/12/12
    Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Friday, December twelfth. We start downtown, where Tulsa Police and Fire are still working the scene of a fatal pedestrian and train collision near Cheyenne Avenue and Archer Street by the tracks just north of the BOK Center. According to KTUL, the person is pronounced dead at the scene, and rail traffic there is shut down while investigators work, so we should expect delays and detours around that stretch this morning. On our roads, we are also feeling the impact of construction. Oklahoma Highway Patrol reports a Tulsa driver died after going around barricades on Highway 75 just north of 56th Street North, where a bridge is torn out in a construction zone. Troopers say the car hit construction equipment, then dropped through the open bridge span. As we commute, we need to slow down in work zones and respect those closures. From City Hall and county government, housing and addiction recovery are front and center. NonDoc and the Tulsa Flyer report the Tulsa Housing Authority still has not completed audits for 2021 through 2024, even as it oversees housing assistance for more than thirteen thousand of our neighbors. The stalled audits nearly delayed the big 36 North mixed income project near North Peoria, and city councilors say they will be pressing for answers, while Mayor Monroe Nichols plans to announce changes to the THA board before the end of the year. On the county side, the Tulsa Flyer reports commissioners have approved about eight hundred seventy thousand dollars in opioid settlement funds for local addiction recovery programs. Crossover Health, Soberlife Recovery, and Wings of Freedom will expand clinics, case management, and sober housing, especially in north Tulsa. That should mean more help for families dealing with addiction. We also have some lighter news along Route 66. Public Radio Tulsa says the Route 66 Commission just wrapped its final meeting before the Mother Road centennial. Plans include a big Route 66 Capital Cruise classic car parade in May and live music on Veterans Day. The city has a state grant to build a musical road on Southwest Boulevard by the Cyrus Avery Memorial Bridge, where our tires will literally play a tune if we hit the speed just right. Weather wise, we are mild and dry today across midtown, downtown, and South Tulsa, with cool morning temps warming into the upper fifties by afternoon, light winds, and only passing clouds. Tonight looks chilly but quiet, and the weekend trends seasonable, with no major storms expected for outdoor games, Utica Square shopping, or a walk at Gathering Place. In real estate, local agents report that median home prices inside the Tulsa city limits are holding just under two hundred fifty thousand dollars, with slightly longer days on market, giving buyers a bit more leverage than last spring. On the jobs front, postings around the metro remain strong in health care, logistics, and energy, with several hundred open roles within our city limits, especially along the Highway 169 and Yale Avenue corridors. For community events, we have holiday concerts and markets all over town. Downtown, Guthrie Green and near Cain’s Ballroom we have evening pop up vendors and live music. Along Brookside and Cherry Street, shops are staying open later for neighborhood strolls. Over on Route 66, small venues are booking local bands to warm up for next year’s centennial. In schools and sports, several Tulsa Public Schools basketball teams are in early season tournament play this weekend, and local high school robotics clubs are reporting strong finishes in regional qualifiers, giving our students a boost heading into spring competitions. On public safety beyond the rail and highway tragedies, Tulsa Police continue targeted patrols around downtown and the 71st and Memorial corridor after recent property crime spikes. Officers are asking us to lock vehicles, avoid leaving packages in plain sight, and report suspicious activity, especially around apartment parking lots and hotel lots near the Creek Turnpike. Our feel good story today comes from the addiction recovery community. With the new county funding, Crossover Health’s clinics in north Tulsa will begin routine opioid misuse screenings and free naloxone distribution in primary care visits, which local doctors say can directly save lives and keep more of our neighbors stable, working, and present for their families.

  • Tulsa Crime, Data Centers, and Holiday Giving - Tulsa Local Pulse for Thursday, December 11, 2025

    Tulsa Crime, Data Centers, and Holiday Giving - Tulsa Local Pulse for Thursday, December 11, 2025
    2025/12/11
    Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Thursday, December 11, 2025.

    We start today with breaking news out of south Tulsa, where Tulsa police say a 22 year old man is in custody after a bizarre series of events near 71st and Yale. According to KTUL, officers respond just before 11 last night to a shooting at the Crossings of Silver Oaks apartments on East 71st Place, where a man is found with multiple gunshot wounds but is expected to survive. Police say the suspect then carjacks an Uber Eats driver, crashes her Chevy Malibu near 71st and South 85th East Avenue, and is hit by another car while trying to run away before being arrested on major felony complaints. We keep our thoughts with the victim and everyone shaken in that neighborhood.

    As we talk about safety, Tulsa police remind us to stay aware in busy parking lots around Woodland Hills Mall and along South Memorial as holiday deliveries and shopping pick up. We keep an eye on our surroundings and report anything that feels off.

    From crime to city hall, we widen our lens just a bit to Sand Springs, where city leaders are still weighing a massive new data center called Project Spring. KTUL reports the 827 acre site just east of Highway 97 is on hold while the developer, White Rose Partners, answers questions about water use, noise, wildlife, and traffic. City officials say they want more data before the council takes it up again on December 15 at the municipal building. The developer says the project could bring hundreds of high skill jobs and become one of the top taxpayers in the region, so this could shape our broader Tulsa job market over the next few years.

    Speaking of jobs, local recruiters say warehouse, health care support, and customer service roles around the I 44 and Highway 169 corridor are especially active, with many positions in the 15 to 20 dollars an hour range. Construction firms are also hiring as commercial projects continue along Riverside and downtown.

    On the real estate front, area agents report that in the Tulsa metro we are seeing roughly 700 homes on the market, with a typical three bedroom in midtown or near Brookside still hovering in the low to mid 200 thousands. Higher interest rates keep things slower than a few years ago, but well priced homes near good schools, like around Edison and Booker T, are still moving in a couple of weeks.

    Weather wise, we step out to a cool, clear start across Tulsa. We are expecting a mild afternoon, with highs in the upper 50s to low 60s and light south winds, a good day for errands along Peoria or a walk on Riverside Drive. Tonight stays chilly but dry, and the short term outlook keeps us mostly dry into the weekend, with only a slight chance of light showers late Saturday.

    In community news, Tulsa Urban Wilderness Coalition volunteers recently team up with Tulsa Parks at Chandler Park, west of downtown near Highway 51, to remove more than 500 invasive redcedar trees. Tulsa Parks officials tell the County Commissioners the project reduces fire risk and protects water resources, and it is a reminder of how our neighbors quietly improve shared spaces.

    Looking ahead, we have a full slate of events. Holiday lights continue to glow at Gathering Place and along Guthrie Green, and local venues on South Boston and in the Arts District are hosting live music tomorrow and Saturday night, from Red Dirt to jazz. Families can catch school winter concerts across Tulsa Public Schools and Union, with several choirs and bands recently bringing home top ratings at regional festivals.

    On the sports front, local high school basketball is in full swing. Several Tulsa teams notch early season wins this week, with strong showings from Booker T Washington and Union on their home courts. TU basketball continues its non conference stretch at the Reynolds Center, giving us some evening action close to home.

    We wrap up with a feel good story: neighbors and volunteers gather this week near 11th Street and Lewis to organize toy and coat drives, making sure kids across east and north Tulsa have something warm to wear and something fun to open this season. Food banks and shelters say donations from everyday Tulsans are making a real difference right now.
