I proposed a super maps to bring together the things Oklahoma City needs, and Patrick ran with it a bit. Here are some starter details.
The Super Maps could be a 15 to 20 year tax of 1.5 % (thanks Patrick) to fund some long term projects. They are as follows.
1. City beautification. All neighborhoods would get funds by grant procedures to plant trees, clean the area, etc.
2. Rapid/communter transit known as CORT (Central Oklahoma Rapid Transit). A commuter rail, called Metrorail, would be included to all suburbs as far as Purcell, Guthrie, Seminole, and El Reno.
3. A larger terminal at Will Rogers. This may be needed in the short term, however, if 20 or so gates set empty for a while, that is fine.
4. Fairgrounds rebuild. Rebuild nearly ALL buildings because the current ones look like (well, you know).
5. Heartland Castle. The retractable domed stadium holding 60,000 or more people.
Any thoughts or additions?
