The City Manager coordinates and directs City activities, carries out policies set by the City Council and exercises control over all aspects of employment of City employees except those appointed by the City Council.

Who has been the City Manager for the vast majority of those 13 years since the Council directed the Public Works Dept that he oversees? None other than Jim Couch who was appointed to that position in November 9, 2000. He was the “Assistant City Manager/MAPS Director for 2 1/2 years” before that. That pretty much covers it doesn’t it?

Most traffic engineers aren’t programmed to reduce speed and cut road capacity. All they want to do is move cars from A to B as fast as the drivers are willing to go. If downtown OKC was full of two way streets and the command was give to convert them all to one way it would be done in 6 months.
