Now it will be interesting to see if anyone is held accountable to this. ... I mean, tearing up recently completed streets, horrible paint jobs, the "RUSH" to do P180 instead of coordinating it with the KNOWN streetcar, businesses going out-of-business while streets are torn-up, and the general UGLY appearance this has had on downtown for the past 5+ years. ..
Will anybody accept accountability for this? Will the city learn that it must be accountable for the negatives (and not just gloat on the positives) to retain the trust of the public? Accountability means MUCH MORE than just an "update" on the new/revised schedule, accountability means information on WHY there needs to be a revised schedule in the first place and an APPROVAL to do so. ..
You can't just do this quietly, particularly when the city gloated so much that "this was the largest public street improvement of any major city" blah blah blah. It's made OKC look very barren and desolate or at least helped reinforce that already held belief. And its wasted lots of public funds and in many cases cost jobs not to mention the time of folks having to navigate around all of this mess. ...
Oklahoma City, the RENAISSANCE CITY!
