What is wrong with backing up traffic? Traffic backs up in NYC, San Francisco and DC. They don’t care about moving traffic or cars stacking up. These guys need to embrace the change, maximize the sidewalks and welcome the future development. We can’t allow this present design to materialize.

If ODOT and the city get their way, the new Oklahoma “street” should be called an Expressway, or Trafficway or perhaps a Beeline.

A boulevard is recognized by almost everyone as being a suface street with lots of on/off access, normal speed limits and considerable beautification elements such as greenery, fountains, sculptures , etc.

i read in the paper that there were two “camps” present at the hearing about the boulevard; one which favored development, the other favored improved traffic flow. it was announced that the new plans indicate compromise between these competing interests.

i wasn’t present at the hearing, but what i’ve read on the internet gave the distinct impression that the citizenry speaking were in loud agreement that they favored a narrow, slower boulevard. so who comprised this other “camp”, favoring traffic flow? citizens, government officials, or both? and how did the divide go? 50/50? 90/10? what’s up here?
