Creating a mixed-income neighborhood close to downtown
UDA prepared the Eugene Field Small Area Plan (SAP) located close to downtown along the Arkansas River. The plan identifies initiatives to transform Eugene Field into a thriving mixed-income, mixed-use neighborhood reminiscent of what it once was. The community currently suffers from a concentration of affordable housing, challenges associated with two major arterials that run through the neighborhood, and the negative effects of incompatible land uses. The plan proposes a variety of new housing choices with designs inspired by Tulsa precedents grouped around community parks. The plan creates strong connections to the riverfront.
