What is Street Cred?
Street Cred is TYPROS’ annual community redevelopment project. The event started in 2011 to
highlight the Pearl District’s potential for development. Each year, Street Cred focuses on a
different neighborhood or area of Tulsa that has great potential for commercial and residential
development. Other Street Creds looked at downtown parking lots, Route 66, Red Fork and
South Peoria.
This September, in an effort to model a lively neighborhood culture with food, vendors, art,
interaction, and fun, we will be holding a month of events at various locations along 36th from
Peoria to the Northland Shopping Center. To amplify the work being done by the 36th Street
North community and leverage existing resources, TYPROS Street Cred Committee is reaching
out to 36th St. North business owners, community members, and community stakeholders to
create these events at individual businesses throughout the month of September. We are
seeking vendors, performers, and exhibitors of all kinds, as well as property and brick and
mortar business owners.
Why the Phoenix District?
The Phoenix District is a hotbed of energy and potential that we are eager to support. Not only
are there many new developments arising throughout the area, there is a strong and active
culture of advocacy and investment from residents. TYPROS is committed to using this event to
support the work of existing groups and amplify the voices of current residents as the Phoenix
District takes off.
