YES! What you said at a minimum! But if they want to go the extra yard, the city would do well to consider reconnecting 1st street

Yellow = connecting streets back to grid
Green = future biking/running path?
Blue = potential commercial/apartments fronting lincoln blvd
I think this is...
Such a missed opportunity for a bike lane.
I don't think it's that difficult of a concept dude. We talk about wanting a denser urban core. More walkability. Making public transit more viable. Here we have a development that is trying to do...
^^I'm curious why those powerlines were never buried when the new sidewalk, street, streetcar, streetcar poles, and park were put in
Probably deserves its own thread, but as a citizen of one of the tribes with a casino, I kinda agree with Governor Stitt here. It should be renegotiated to be more in line with other states and to...
I drive by this building all the time! While this is a really good get for the previously empty building, I have to say my imagination went a little wild imagining a mixed-use apartment development...
These are for the most part good points. But I’m still saying that the benefits to OKC that you’ve outlined aren’t necessarily worth the money spent and pale in comparison to the benefits the suburbs...
Yeah I hope my state and city money don’t go to building roads in Alaska… If this was state or federal money building the commuter rail I would be fine. But it sounds like OKC money (in addition to...
I'm actually glad you brought up Seattle. It got me reading about how their system works and was funded. It's only solidified my opinion. From wiki:
"The predecessor to Sound Transit was a 1995...
But you didn't... You basically said "Big train must go fast. Too many stops in OKC make big train go not fast." And I'm saying that in that case it primarily benefits Norman and Edmond. OKC has an...
Then I'm confused. Why would OKC even join and help pay for the regional transit system if they only get two OKC stops - downtown and the south OKC one (The 63rd St stop basically being Nichols Hills...
Does it feel like all this talk about too many stations is overblown? The current amount doesn't seem too crazy and nobody is advocating for more stations besides maybe two additional ones that...
Hey we can always build another cool historical building from 1935 with awesome stone detailing. It would be impossible to ever repurpose one of those. People only ever repurpose the buildings that...
I agree plus that cut-out on 4th street is terrible for pedestrians trying to use the sidewalk. Hi, I know you're trying to walk past our faceless building but go ahead and take a detour by our...
^^ I couldn't agree more. I think it's integral that when they double track the rail right-of-way they also add a pedestrian and bike corridor. One of things impressing me the most about Tulsa is...
Exactly! Even just painting some cheap stripes like below would be palatable. Doesn't even have to take up as much room as this example

Basically repeating what you're saying Pete and beating this dead horse but even I, having spent my entire life in Oklahoma and not even riding a bike that often, know that the two below images are...
Just going off the preliminary plans above there seems to be a missed opportunity to actually make the west side bike lane protected like the image below. Now it's just a recipe for car doors hitting...
See I don't understand wanting the town homes set back further from 8th st. Now there's a front lawn that needs maintaining and serves no purpose except to increase our water shortage. The homes...
Does anybody know when the Deep Fork Creek Trial will start as part of the 2007 Go Bond (the red trail in the map)?

I absolutely think the station on OU’s campus is warranted. I mean look at any other commuter rail that passes through a tier 1 university and you better believe they all have a stop. And you...
I actually like this density of 6 houses on such a small amount of land. Plus, I don't mind this exception just this once for a suburban style driveway fronting 7th street since the Central Exchange...
I'm still not a fan of the garage and driveway facing 7th street. Yeah I know there's three houses being built on the alley but it still looks pretty ugly and I can only imagine 2 more being built...
