Payday lenders can't operate in The Village per our zoning. The existing one is grandfathered in.

It's been a minute since an update was posted about new commercial developments in The Village and upcoming infrastructure/park improvements. If you all want to see any specific plans/pics, let me...

We’ve said November 2019 since the beginning. The latest update I was given was mid-November for completion. We are receiving a project update from ODOT and the contractor today.

The Village received a federal matching grant through ACOG. All federally funded projects are managed through ODOT.

We have about $2 million from the bonds to start with. But yes, to fully fund everything it is going to cost much more. Our consultant is now doing some cost estimates so we know what we are looking...

Thanks for posting this John, I was just headed over here to do the same.

Very excited about the possibilities in this new plan. We are really going through a transformation right now and I can't...

That logo! Wish that could come back.

Not sure we have the right type of environment for it to be successful. That being said, we of course will take a look at our ordinances since these are popping up in the metro. And even out side of...

I was just out in LA and saw these all over the place. Used one in Venice Beach and had a great time. Granted, LA (and specifically Venice) are completely different animals from OKC. That being said,...

Yes, the council granted them an exception to exceed the current height limit for that area (currently 10 feet I think according to our new ordinance). The Braums reps were adamant that if they...

HAHAHAHAHA. Thank you for that!

They had to increase the size of the water line running to the location. That work is underway.

They both do beautification projects. I think Moore has received something like 10,000 trees from The Tree Bank in recent years. Tulsa has Up With Trees and The Met, we have OKC Beautiful and The...

We already have two awesome organizations doing great work in OKC - The Tree Bank (http://www.thetreebank.org) and OKC Beautiful (http://www.okcbeautiful.com). If you wanna see them do more, make a...

It'd be news to me. Haven't seen anything about this project yet. They clearly aren't wanting to communicate much with anyone about their plans.

Hey! But they have trees between them...that's part of our new landscaping ordinance. ;)

In all seriousnesses though, it is a lot, but that is also a pretty busy parking lot because of that...

Thanks John! The past few months have been interesting on multiple fronts and getting the facts out is important. Excited to keep things moving forward and watching the last few years of planning to...

Don’t get me wrong, I’m thrilled they are opening here. They’ll bring much needed tax dollars in and that’ll keep us progressing forward. I regret them not wanting to do a few things, but overall...

I absolutely think long term we are all on the same page about making The Village a different place and growing from were we’ve been. We all want our city to be more unique and noticeably different...

Plu - just tying to stay positive is all.

Nick - I don’t disagree. But I will say that the outcomes of that vision process and some of our new codes are a pretty dynamic change for The Village....

Sorry for the duplicate post, but it makes sense to post this here as well.

I haven’t posted here often since I was elected to the city council in The Village. But I thought in this case I’d...

I haven’t posted here often since I was elected to the city council in The Village. But I thought in this case I’d share my thoughts which I’ve also posted on my Facebook account.
Monday evening...

That is acutally in OKC. But your point isn't lost.

They really couldn't find a better picture for OKC. Give me a break.
