#58 CHOOSING THE LAND #2* (revised 6/4) visibility and access"






V A L U E


A for access



Our customers at green garden gates deserve and quite frankly will demand easy access to our store. Often, garden stores overlook the importance of time to the shopping public. Increasingly customers simply will not go out of their way for products and services if they are forced to struggle with bad access. They want to be in their gardens not trying to get in and out of a parking lot. We strive for a seamless movement from the public roads to our parking areas




Will the access to our property be seamless for our customers?


Yes, this property has excellent access. Oklahoma highway 51, a six lane type no toll expressway is a major east west arterial lead into and out of the city of Tulsa from the neighboring major suburban residential areas and significant manufacturing and industrial campuses and regional shopping areas. Interstate 244 leading across Oklahoma into Kansas, Arkansas, and Missouri and points east and north is located nearby with a freeway link to highway 51. Near the property is a newly developed off/on ramp recently installed to carry large amounts of vehicles to a huge world class airline assembly facility. The ramp moves easily onto a four lane siding road that fronts the property leading to a variety of commercial operations, connecting and ramping back onto Highway 51 a mile north of the site. The siding arterial has been designed for heavy loads of traffic at peak hours with only a small inconvenience to the traveler. The design of the facility will take advantage of this excellent roadway access in their parking and loading designations as well as ingress and egress to the site. Our gardening customers will have worry free access to green garden gates saving time and frustration in their shopping day.

V for visibility




Can customers see the property from their vehicles?



Frustrated gardening customers who are forced to waste time searching for a garden store will likely never return to that store. They will look elsewhere for their plants and plant care products. You have lost them. The garden store must be seen immediately. Also, what they see from their vehicles must be pleasing to the eye. At green garden gates we want our store, our outdoor displays and our signage so visible that the customer can almost pick the plant from their vehicle before they even arrive and park their car.




We are fortunate with this property, to have all major roadways near the land straight with no curves or turns as the roadways pass near the location. There is high visibility from all directions. In addition, the two major roadways have been constructed to be slightly elevated. Motorists passing the property will look down on green garden gates from all directions of travel. The siding road, likewise, has no curves and turns in front of the land. The signage will be highly visible and unobstructed to the vehicle traffic on both Highway 51 and the linking arterial to Interstate 244.
