From today's DowntownOKC.com newsletter (http://us8.campaign-archive1.com/?u=bf3dca458c0ff6066717b4c21&id=a0e840ae96&e=64ac5c7e00):
The City of Oklahoma City’s Office of Sustainability worked with the Planning Department to determine opportunities, pending City Council approval, for the installation of 62 bicycle racks, eight crosswalks and four bicycle repair stations throughout downtown Oklahoma City, three nearby business districts and at two Oklahoma City Public Schools (OKCPS) elementary schools.
The Downtown Oklahoma City, Inc. business improvement district will see the installation of bicycle racks in Film Row, Automobile Alley, Deep Deuce, Park Plaza, the Central Business District, the Arts District and Bricktown. Two bicycle repair stations will also be installed in Deep Deuce.

EMBARK: Routeside Amenities (Project Cost: $82,812)
EMBARK (formerly METRO Transit) will improve approximately ten existing bus shelter locations across their service area, enhancing access to the transit network for cyclists and pedestrians. This project will make the shelters ADA compliant by connecting them to sidewalks and passenger pads at the curb. Additionally, some bicycle racks and a bicycle repair station will be installed at EMBARK’s downtown hub.
