Council reviews and accepts Kendall Whittier decorative fire-hydrant design for destination-district program
Summary
Kendall Whittier Main Street secured approvals from Water & Sewer, Fire, TMU/MA, and the Arts Commission for a decorative fire-hydrant design; the group will begin installation on about 40 hydrants along its corridor in the fall if council grants final approval. Transcript shows no contested objections.
Kendall Whittier Main Street presented an application for the city’s decorative fire-hydrant program in officially designated destination districts. The application had already received approvals from the Water & Sewer Department, Tulsa Fire Department, the municipal authority (TMATC), and the Arts Commission.
Planning staff said the design was created by five young women from a local arts school and is an amalgam of their designs. Kendall Whittier intends to affix the artwork to roughly 40 fire hydrants along Lewis Avenue to Independence Avenue; staff said installation would begin this fall if the City Council gave final approval.
Councilors expressed support for the concept and aesthetics; no objections or technical concerns were raised in the recorded discussion. The transcript does not record an explicit roll-call vote, but staff confirmed the applicant had met the required departmental reviews and would proceed to implementation after final council action or confirmation.
