The drawings were presented during a community meeting on
December 3 at the Coca Cola Bricktown Events Center, 425 E California Ave (click
for Google map).
The meeting was facilitated by Stantec, Inc., the traffic and
planning consulting firm hired by the City to study options for the Western
end of the Boulevard. The meeting was co-hosted by the City of Oklahoma City
and the Oklahoma Department of Transportation.
The 2.4-mile Oklahoma City Boulevard, to be constructed by the Oklahoma
Department of Transportation, will run from Pennsylvania to Byers along the
former Interstate 40 route.
The Boulevard will be a premier entryway into Oklahoma City and include
on-street parking, 15-foot sidewalks and landscaping. The project is
expected to be constructed in phases beginning in 2013.
