Re: New parking garage/retail planned!!
One surface lot at a time...
The next targets should be the ones along Sheridan at Oklahoma, and the one next to Zio's on the canal. If those get developed and the Cotton Exchange is built we will see a MUCH improved (and denser) Bricktown.
My hope is that Oklahoma Ave. takes on a greater importance once the blvd. is completed as it will be the first at-grade intersection as you come off I-35. I'd like to see it become a gateway to Bricktown with mixed-use buildings on both sides around that intersection and the intersection with Reno near where this parking garage will be up to the canal and Sheridan. Is there any future plan to connect Oklahoma with the Triangle development to the north??
I can only hope the "retail" along Reno comes right up to the sidewalk and includes parallel parking along the street. The retail so far along Reno on the Lower Bricktown side has not been done very well from an urban design point-of-view.
