I thought I would go ahead and start a thread since the city will be re-doing Lindsey street from the interstate to (at least) Berry. What would you like to see?

5 lanes with middle turn lane?
4 lanes?
2 lanes with bike lanes/street parking?
2 lanes with bike lanes/street parking and a median?
2 lanes with bike lanes and non-interrupted sidewalks all the way down Lindsey?
Dedicated space for bus pull-offs?
Replace intersection lights with roundabouts?


Personal preference: 2 10' car lanes with a bike lane on each side. Roundabouts replace the street lights at 24th/Lindsey, McGee/Lindsey, and Berry/Lindsey. The Roundabouts would help congestion along Lindsey as cars would not have to wait for lights, but simply merging into a roundabout. This Lindsey street project has an opportunity to be a model street for Norman and the surrounding areas...since it is a gateway into the city/university...this is all personal preference though. Revamping Lindsey Street is a MUST though. Retail Space per square foot has fallen recently in the shopping centers along Lindsey. A new, complete, streetscape could revamp the corridor and put reinvestment/renovation into the strip centers along the corridor.

EDIT: Last week, President Boren voiced his support for re-doing Lindsey from Berry into campus as long as it can be done "tastefully"....meaning two lanes/sidewalks, etc...as long as it does not destroy the current tree canopy, etc.
