    Re: Hill, The

    It is pretty unfortunate that the previous developer (scientist?) raised the grade so much. But the next developer can always bring the grade back down. Why would they go through the trouble and...

    Re: Hill, The

    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

    Re: Wheeler District

    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...

    Re: Chesapeake Arena

    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...

    Re: OKC Regional Transit System

    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:

    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...

    ^^ 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...
