Whether those higher in the pecking order will do the same remains an open question, but hopefully the sincerity of the Let’s Talk Transit people will have a “trickle-up” effect. My article goes into much greater detail than I’ll present here.

But, in short, I give Let’s Talk Transit a 5-star rating … they did very well.

Saw you last night at McSmellies but you were deep in convos and I had had a few pops. Next time I will introduce myself.

2) I think that is being a bit nit-picky, but fair enough.

3) I’ll preface this by saying that I am a Sheridan proponent. The graphic used to market the streetcar as part of the MAPs 3 proposal showed it on Sheridan and every survey has shown that the public wants a Bricktown-CBD connection. I trust the consultants when they say they get it.

I attended that morning meeting and I really tried to listen to what Mike McAnelly was saying about street couplets. The question I left with was – If I rode up to 9th and Broadway for lunch, would I really want to ride all the way over on 9th or 10th to Walker to get back to the CBD or would I want it to cut back south sooner on Hudson, Robinson, or Harvey?

2) Which of the 3 proposals do not touch at least one side of the Cox Convention Center?
- Not saying they don’t touch Cox – the question brought up by folks attending the morning session was that the maps act like Cox doesn’t exist.

3) Which of the 3 proposals do not run through Bricktown?
- The concerns raised by some folks attending the morning session was that the presentation made it appear as if there were groundwork being laid for it not to go through – the talk of “constraints” going under the bridge. Multiple parties said the response of “we all know about Bricktown” left them very unsettled. Part of this appears to be distrust based on how some felt the Core to Shore process ended up – there are a lot of people who have a bitter taste from that experience and are ready to pounce on anything that now follows. The consultant, who may not be aware of such sensitivities, was much more responsive during the evening session.

Some good-natured, dialogue-enhancing questions for you:

1) Which of the 3 proposals presented at the final meeting, do you think are attempting to serve the Film District, Core to Shore, or the OCU law school?

2) Which of the 3 proposals do not touch at least one side of the Cox Convention Center?

3) Which of the 3 proposals do not run through Bricktown?

I haven’t viewed it yet, but are you seriously saying the proposed routes:

1) Don’t go to Bricktown?
(City said during MAPS 3 campaign that a Bricktown stop was a no-brainer) then there is that rendering used showing the Streetcar passing in front of Spaghetti Warehouse.

2) No Convention Center link?
While I can understand not necessarily putting tracks next to the Cox since it is theoretically being replaced by the MAPS 3 Convention Center, does that also mean it isn’t linking to the new C.C. either?
