City councilors and the mayor spent hours this week trying to narrow the list of Vision projects for Tulsa's renewal.
Vision and Economic Development Task Force Chair Blake Ewing said nothing is a sure thing yet with river and public safety proposals still on the board, too.
"It's pretty easy to identify those that are popular and that we will likely see, but I don't feel comfortable yet committing that anything is going to be on the list," Ewing said.
The Gilcrease Museum, the Tulsa Zoo, the Performing Arts Center and the convention center were near the top of councilors' lists.
"A lot of those are relatively high-dollar when compared to some of the other projects further down the list, and because they are our responsibility, our city assets, I think that's why you saw such broad support for those," Ewing said.
There are more than $2 billion in proposals, and a four-hour meeting Thursday didn't come close to reviewing all of them. Mayor Dewey Bartlett said it will take a few more meetings like that to come up with the final list, and then it might come down to a vote.
"I might have the ultimate opportunity to have a veto on certain things, but then the council can have a more ultimate opportunity to override my veto," Bartlett said. "Hopefully, we end up with a good consensus and that type of need doesn't occur."
The city is targeting April for a Vision vote.
