When we talk about Denton’s Quakertown district, Tulsa needs to be part of the context.

In one of countless white supremacist massacres in U.S. history, white supremacists destroyed a thriving Black community in Oklahoma, known today as the Tulsa Massacre.

BRIDGE RE-OPENS IN QUAKERTOWN PARK

On November 14, 2025, a driver struck the west end of the pedestrian bridge damaging the guardrail and rock facade in addition to revealing several maintenance needs.

Following an initial inspection by the City Engineer, staff closed the bridge to the public and coordinated installation of temporary barricades and minor safety repairs while a full structural evaluation was completed.

The assessment determined there were immediate life-safety repairs related to the railing and cracking which needed to be addressed in order to open the bridge back for pedestrian traffic.
These repairs were completed on May 26, 2026, for a total cost of $7,650 which has allowed the bridge to be reopened for pedestrians. Repairs were funded through the City’s Risk Retention Fund.
