a new look for cityoftulsa.org

The City of Tulsa has a new look to their website: http://www.cityoftulsa.org/.

from the City of Tulsa News feed:

The City’s website was redesigned using in-house resources, and
structured so that it is easier to find topics that appeal to three
different audiences: visitors, residents and businesses. A menu
item entitled "Quick Links" also provides another way of looking up
specific topics that are most frequently accessed, such as job
applications and tickets and utility bill online payment.

Traffic Info is now a featured area on the home page,
linking to the live traffic accident report, street closings and a
link to the City’s www.fixourstreetslive.org,
a website created under Mayor Taylor’s direction and dedicated to
keeping citizens informed of street improvement projects. The Fix
Our Streets project maps are updated regularly to reflect changes,
listing all phases from design to completion. Updates are linked to
a map of the project area. Traffic Info road closures
includes a map to pinpoint an area to find out more about traffic
changes while improvements are underway. This list will be updated
daily as needed, and will include emergency closings resulting from
waterline breaks or other traffic hazards.

Through the site, a viewer may report problems to the Mayor’s
Action Center, select from a menu of services, find public meeting
agendas, view a calendar, read more information on City of Tulsa
departments and link to government agencies that partner with the
City.
