Let me bring a few of you up-to-speed on something. The OKC Metro Commuter is a NEW system being introduced to the public in OKC for the first time. This is not part of an existing system ( subway...

Your statement that Safety ( caring for Life ) is less important than " light rail is cool " ? .... well....

Like I said, I may value life a little more than others. If a little "fore thought" can help save a life.... then why not!!!

What part of THAT do you not underdstand ?

oh, I guess one death is not enough for you? And this is not my video, I just shared an example of Commuter Trains sharing track w/ Freight lines.

Urban Pioneer, so you agree we should have a commuter train that is placing the "passenger" in harms way by allowing them to be in a second rate "feasible / workable" system? ..ie Moore / Norman /...

CM, you are a design guy.... What would you design that could accomplish this Commute Train issue? ...how can we keep the passengers away from harm and still move volumes of people in close...

This is not an example of a person that made a mistake.... she didn't do anything wrong. She simply exited her commute train and walked to the crosswalk and ventured out into harms way.

Cautro, did you see the video of the lady trying to cross the tracks?

Hoyasooner, Worth Cook, Venture...did you see the clip of the Lady trying to cross the tracks? ...and then let's talk about the type of safe commute we should have for our OKC Metro Commute.

Venture, maybe your are a little too caught-up in the banter of this sandbox, but I was very serious when I demonstrated the "why" I am very engaged in this commute alternative called Heavy Trains...

Fear is a good thing! I do have a healthy respect for life. Others may not. I will be 100% up-front w/ all of you on this subject. I will not be picking up any rattlesnakes, you won't see me on...

Hutch, I'm not talking about someone that is trying to end their life by "jumping in front of a train", I'm talking about a flawed system from the start. That lady I showed you was just trying to...

I was getting help from you and I did not even know it.

yes, those areas would be much better for the commuter. It also takes advantage of the existing commerce already in-place at those locations. I'm not sure if 23rd is needed though.

If the line...

Hutch, you and your 30 friends / mayors / councilmen can't say you did not know what the risks are. Like I said, a few people making a poor decision for the many.

Rules & Regulations don't replace loved ones. Like I said, the woman that lost here life in this video...there were no rules or laws broken. Just the system that placed loved ones too close to a...

Cuatro, did you see the video? ...are you ok with a system like that one? one that places ladies on their commute in harms way? ...one that places un-suspecting people in an area where their lives...

This is NOT a futuristic technology, Texas is doing it NOW w/ Japan Central . ...so why can't we? ...if we have a way of funding it, then wouldn't we want the Best for OKC Metro?

There are a couple of major issues I have with this position. If we are "voting" on this, then we deserve the Light Rail w/ Mag-Lev technology. This is not coming out of the city budget, but a...
