East Edmond 2050 Plan

[Plutonic Panda]

It does help that they can piss money, but state and federal, whenever they want. Oklahoma gets jack squat, especially federally, and that inhibits those types of things. They have to be more selective in what they propose.

Yeah, you’re not wrong there. Unfortunately I can’t help but also think some of it has to do with inaction on the part of the state. I think Oklahoma could do more than it is.

New email on this today:

The East Edmond 2050 Plan has entered its final phase of review and action by the City of Edmond's Planning Commission and City Council. The draft planning document will be presented by our lead consultant at a City Council Workshop on Monday, February 14 at 3:30pm. The workshop will be broadcast on the City's live stream and recorded for later viewing.

The Planning Commission will make its recommendation on the plan in March and then forward the plan to City Council for their consideration.

Thank you for your continued interest in this project.

This is related to east Edmond and location being chosen due to center of Edmonds 90 square miles.
City is looking to acquire land from Henderson Hills Baptist Church to build a new YMCA on east side and another city library and then utilize existing parking from Henderson Hills.

This seems like a good plan. East edmond is far from Mitch park so replicate this and also close enough to tie into the Arcadia trails. And utilizes HHBC parking lots that are empty 6 days of the week

Well they already did the Mitch park YMCA so it’s not unprecedented.
Same reasons okc build senior centers or other capital program buildings. It’s seem as a community asset that will increase valuation of city and health benefits. Etc.

I’m sure they build the building and then turn it over to YMCA for operations.

the city of edmond didn't build that for the YMCA ..

it was a 3 way partnership and the City didn't spend the most money the School district did at over 11 mil YMCA spent 6.2 the city spent about the same ..

Glad they are addressing run off and drainage. I responded to their survey a while back as an affected resident and glad this was included.

Yes a Edmond Police Sub-Station is needed Norman may want to look into getting one as well

While not a sub station, there is a new facility in the works to house the Lake Patrol component of the agency. This will be collocated with other lake staff offices along Highway 66 across from the temporary Lake Patrol office. That said, while an increased presence out east would be constructive, that’d require adding more officers and finding people to hire for those positions is problematic nowadays.
