Give it a rest and give us more park n’ ride options. Better yet, free up the parking and we’ll give the local businesses that extra $10 on drinks or food. I’d rather give it to them instead of the guy with 3 teeth and smells like turpentine. We’re starting to get “big city”, let’s fix this.

I left a similar comment on the Daily Oklahoman site, but it was removed or erased, so I’ll leave it here. The brouhaha over 17,000 visiting downtown shows how desperately we need alternate forms of transportation to and from downtown OKC. If we had streetcars and lightrail and frequent buses, would parking be as big of a concern? I don’t think so.

You are right on about lunch in bricktown. If you walk directly to a place like Red Pinn or Bricktown Burgers or Crabtown, you will likely beat the crowd that goes from one place to another.
Another lunch option is Tapwerks. Yes, Tapwerks is a restaurant and kids are even allowed. I had a burger there last Thursday and it was great. They also have fresh cut french fries that are awesome. Since the ownership change 2 years ago, the new owners have really worked on their food quality.
