Addition:
I think she meant to say:
“The streets THAT were designed before MAPS destroyed Downtown and caused a mass exodus to the suburbs.”

I fail to see how she said MAPS destroyed downtown, if I understand what she said, she said that the bad street policy destroyed downtown, making MAPS necessary, if we would plan and think things through (street policy) we wouldn’t have to have programs to fix them (MAPS).
That is what I got from that paragraph.

Is it just me or is that a lot of good sentencing in an awful paragraph?

I tend to ignore the comments on general stories any of the newspaper sites. They tend to be the most idiotic and uninformed comments of all the various forms of interactive websites.

Wow. Sounds like Arlie needs to get out of MWC at least once a decade. I suppose she is happy with the status quo and the decaying city OKC used to be pre-MAPS. Maybe we should spend the next Maps for a giant Luby’s or Furr’s in MWC?

Maybe Arlie meant Urban Renewal and not MAPS. But, even if that is the case, Urban Renewal (or MAPS for that matter) did not cause the exodus to the suburbs. That was well underway already.
