I could point to it with pride if it were constructed in suburban Wichita, but not Bricktown…

Additionally, if the station only serves the area to the east, it would run counter to what Bricktown merchants were told some months ago in a meeting with the fire department and public works. At the time, public officials said that for calls to the west of the station during Bricktown’s heavy traffic times, the vehicles would take alternate response routes, perhaps through Deep Deuce.

If the station only serves the area to the east of the station, why not build east of there instead of in Bricktown? However, I guess that particular decision was made long ago.

Also, is it true that the building is set to include public restrooms?

Humble Opinion.
