Boardwalk at Bricktown / Dream Hotel

[Urbanized]

It seems extending the canal south from the photo I showed would be another viable option. The City owns the only property between the canal and the Boardwalk site.

It would certainly be another option; and in fact was previously proposed. Actually they were BOTH proposed, and shown connection to one another on what has now become the site of Boardwalk.

Incidentally Johnson and Associates, who originally designed the canal and who also drew many other potential extensions/connections, has been doing the initial planning and engineering studies for Boardwalk.

Here were the City’s initial plans for what such extensions might look like:



The problem being that - as pointed out above - the construction of the streetcar made that north-south connection infinitely more complicated and expensive.
