The Oklahoman\'s Steve Lackmeyer breaks down Oklahoma City brick by brick
MTP RESPONSE BY DIRECTOR- The MTP has not asked for an endorsement from Mayor Cornett for the Modern Transit Project. We believe that an endorsement request is premature at this time. However, the MTP has been in regular monthly dialogue and contact with his office and transit authorities.
On May 11th I met with the Mayor’s staff and outlined the appearance of the web home page and following content. A (true to size comp) was provided. The photo of issue was specifically discussed and its public nature was acknowledged (supplied via city website). City staff asked that the quote and photo be referenced to the (State of the City 2009 address). The addition of the line was made to the site.
We are delighted that the Mayor speaks of transit being a priority in MAPS 3 or similar ballot agenda. MTP will be in dialogue with the Mayor and officials as a ballot initiative becomes described.
The MTP is a political campaign with committee members made up strictly from the private sector in order to be in compliance with law. Not all committee members are downtown residents and a broad advisory board has been established.
Secretary of Environment- Oklahoma, J.D. Strong has officially endorsed the MTP concepts outlined on the website.
