Exactly. Not only is sprawl encouraged, it is delivered to developers on a silver platter. Unless our policies change, sprawl will continue until it is not economically feasible for developers. ...

When deciding on where to build sidewalks, we need not look further than the miles of dirt trails seen in various parts of the city by the side of the road.

If the average OKC citizen actually realized the direct and indirect damage caused by sprawl, I think the issue would be at the forefront. The car culture is too deeply ingrained in the conscience...

What this city desperately needs is a bigger budget for the bus system. If this were to ever happen, I would like to see a grid system for the urbanized core with stops every fifteen minutes, and...

What is 15 One North Hudson being used for? That building is prime for condos or apartments. This block reminds me of Seinfeld's neighborhood in Manhattan.

I have a horrible feeling about this. The thought of this whole block coming down is extremely depressing, especially when some of the buildings are currently being used, with others that could most...

Wow! I didn't expect to see another announcement for housing in Deep Deuce so soon. Judging from the information provided so far this looks like another quality project. The pool is nice and...

I really like that second rendering. Ideally the SoSA area will continue to fill in with small projects like these.

Haha good point krisb you got me there. While technically outside of the loop, as you implied I still consider it an urban development. If Chesapeake developments are posted in the suburban...

I love this new format! This is much more convenient, as for the most part I don't care what happens in suburban OKC. The only thing of significance for developments outside the core to me is the...

Some development surrounding the airport would be great so that visitors don't think they have just flown into the middle of nowhere.

I agree with all of your points but remember to keep in mind that OKC could use your help the most. If I could live anywhere it would be Seattle, but they are already on the right track. I would...

I think that would be a great idea. I am generally in favor of keeping people at street level as much as possible in order to spur development, but a connection to The Underground would be great for...

Wow great pics Thundercitizen. My favorite is the second to last one. For a second I couldn't even tell it was in OKC.

I haven't read anything recently, so the plans might have changed, but I think I remember reading that the initial proposal was for three lanes going each way. I don't believe that they will...

Yes Spartan I too am excited for Tulsa, especially with the possibility of a streetcar system. They have so much potential and it seems that they might finally be getting the ball rolling. I wish...

If Tulsa is serious about building a streetcar, it would probably make sense to speed up the process for a high speed rail link between the two cities. This to me would be the final piece of the...

If this will speed up development in the downtown area I am all for it.

Where exactly is the boulevard being built? Considering that the width of the road works against providing a pedestrian environment, I don't see the point of putting in a new road, even if it is...

Agreed. It is amazing that according to skyscraperpage.com, Devon Tower is the tallest building under construction outside of New York. I was following skyscraper construction before the recession...

As others have pointed out, we should not take offense to comparisons between Omaha and other smaller cities. From an overall standpoint, OKC has more going for it, but there are certain areas where...

I agree in that it seems like there's considerably more traffic than ever during rush hour. Our traffic is still nothing compared to most other cities of our size or bigger, but we need to be...

I don't understand how somebody who cares about the future of OKC could be against the streetcar. Out of all the MAPS projects, it will have the biggest impact by far, and if I remember correctly it...

If at all possible, the time is now for putting an end to bait and switch tactics by developers.

Nice! Hopefully the end result will be urban in design. This is a very important development in terms of attracting more downtown residents.
