I'd like to see them build some dams to keep water in it, especially through Jenks (which is where I am when I see it).
Yeah, I think I've heard "some talk" about building another "low-water dam" a bit further on downstream from the one which is at the railroad bridge over by the PSO facility (close to 31st Street) ... the Midland Valley Trail & River Parks Pedestrian Bridge.
I don't know how far along the "talk" is, though ... :-)
I remember a lot of controversy about it. Tulsans didn’t want to pay whatever tax was going to fund it. And truthfully, I don’t get over to Jenks often enough for it to make a difference, but if they had a river river, they could make it a nice place to be. I grew up on the Ohio River in southern Indiana and the river is a big attraction.
