§ 500. Block numbering.  


Latest version.
  • A.

    North-south streets. Main Street in the City of Tulsa, and its northerly and southerly projections, shall be the dividing line between the eastern and western portions of the City. The blocks east and west of Main Street, starting with the Main Street dividing line as zero, shall be numbered as follows:

    Each of the basic streets west of Main Street shall be designated as Avenues, and the hundred number assigned to each shall designate the block number of the succeeding block, and such numbers shall be designated as numbers "West"; and each of the basic streets east of Main Street shall be designated as Avenues and the hundred number assigned to each shall designate the block number of the succeeding block, and such numbers shall be designated as numbers "East." (Ord. No. 2065)

    B.

    East-west streets. The dividing line between the northern and southern portions of the City shall be along Admiral Boulevard running east from the western limits of the City to its intersection with the St. Louis and San Francisco Railroad; then in an easterly direction along that railroad to the intersection with Admiral Boulevard; and then east along Admiral Boulevard to the eastern limits of the City. The blocks north and south of such dividing line, starting with the dividing line as zero, shall be numbered as follows:

    Each of the basic streets north of the dividing line, whether designated by name or number, shall be numbered successively by hundreds and the number designated shall determine the succeeding block number, such as Cameron Street, 300 Block, and Davenport Street, 400 Block, and such numbers shall be designated as numbers "North"; and each basic street south of the dividing line shall be numbered successively by hundreds and the numbers, likewise, shall determine the succeeding block numbers, and such numbers shall be designated as numbers "South."

    C.

    Intermediate streets. Streets intervening between basic streets, by reason of platting or topography, shall be designated as "Places," "Courts," "Drives," "Boulevards" or "Roads," and shall bear the same hundred number as the basic street or avenue, such as Columbia Avenue, 2700 Block; Columbia Place, 2700 Block; provided that winding intermediate streets which change alignment and direction at intervals may, at the Director's discretion, be assigned proper hundred numbers in order to conform to the system of block numbering as established.

    The Director of Public Works shall determine which streets shall be the dividing line between numbered blocks. He shall assign proper block numbers to blocks and shall see that the block numbering system is systematically followed as outlined above.
