Exactly. And if you can't get somewhere faster/more comfortably on transit than other options, there's not much incentive to prioritize it over other options like driving.

This is pretty indicative. There's a poor understanding on what is the responsibility of the city govt, the responsibility of the state govt, and what the purpose of the GO Bond is. To say...

It's a real shame the streetcar won't have dedicated ROW across the majority of its route. Reno would be perfect for that since it should go on a road diet with the Boulevard coming online.

When we lived in Deep Deuce, we walked to Bricktown/Downtown/Automobile Alley far less than we would've liked. It wasn't very comfortable navigating a stroller across the neighborhood thresholds. For...

My wife picked up something yesterday morning from Brown's. Not sure why they were closed when you were there.

Thanks for sharing those. I think you're missing two key points though.

1) Older housing stock is generally cheaper than newer (at least when supply is able to keep up)
2) Not all density is the...

If anything, I'd rather have more traffic diffuse throughout the MP/HH neighborhoods instead of funneling them to Broadway/Classen. Then those two streets can be calmed down more to help connect the...

Also, the best thing for affordability is to limit the restrictions on density, especially in the close-in neighborhoods surrounding the urban core. If I had my way, every single one of those...

I've maintained a spreadsheet of Mesta Park home sales, and remodeled/updated homes are selling about $170psf average. There naturally is a decent variance, depending on where you are in the...

I live on Shartel in MP and just park my car in the street to help calm traffic. The folks across the street also park in the street, and it makes a world of difference compared to when there's only...

The design is a nonissue for me, but this is my gripe as well. Flip the structure 180 degrees so the entrance faces the street corner instead of the parking lot.

Having just moved from near...

One of the key things for the Plaza District's retail and office components to grow without major new parking is to increase the residential density of the surrounding neighborhoods. This will allow...

As a Catholic, I see this project as a home run. It's a very well-built structure in a key location, so they can serve the needy for a long time to come. Being in a central location, while more...

Thank you Urban for answering my questions and providing more information. I'm encouraged to learn how the committee is working to make this a valuable and resilient system.

I guess I should say then akin to how Wheeler exists today. Whether or not a complete street grid existed at one time or not shouldn't preclude the creation of a new one/integration with an adjacent...

Also, has there been any realistic discussion about parking minimum exemptions along the route?

Forgive me if this has already been covered, but I have a few questions about the streetcar (answers to these may not exist yet)

• Will there be signal priority along the route?
• Will it be...

Agreed; akin to Wheeler in that regard.

I only wish they had better east-west connectivity across the park. Allowing for a slow, narrow 2 lane road across at least SW 7th (requiring rethinking the Robinson-7th intersection that doesn't...

It'd be nice if at some point the city could require parking garages to be built so they could be converted to other uses in the future. I'm not sure on the engineering or cost specifics, but certain...

I would prefer to see this area including the lumber yard returned to the original street grid and build a mixed use neighborhood like a Deep Deuce south. Even though it's difficult in that its...

IIRC, individual tracks will be sold to each developer for smaller scale residential development. I'm sure there will be restrictions on these sales to ensure construction begins quickly after sale...

I haven't seen it mentioned explicitly, but the allowance for and encouragement of Accessory Dwelling Units will help drive overall affordability and mixed-income residents. ADUs are typically rented...

But maybe that's what MAPS 4 Neighborhoods should look like. Pick 4 places with underlying potential in 4 quadrants outside of the 44/40/235 core with resources to revitalize them and the beginnings...

Yea Portland to Meridian from 10th to 16th is in mostly good shape and the juxtaposition of OSU-OKC could be a strong anchor/catalyst. That's the only place in OKC-limits with potential for this type...
