The ideas listed above are thoughtful and terrific. The Edmond city council included money in the next budget to pay for updating the downtown plan. If you watch thier budget meeetings on TV or online, its clear thier economic development priorities are I-35 and also downtown. I still think the I-35 project should be near 2nd or 15th rather than Covell, or somewhere between downtown and UCO. But, the city has already paid for the property, so I'll stop ranting about it.

If I was a developer, I would be looking closely at three areas for mixed-use or multi-family residential, (1) along the west side of Broadway from Hurd to Ayers, and (2) along Campbell between Broadway and University, and (3) along Littler from 3rd to 5th. Sunflower Market is a game changer and the success of it, and the other great new restaurants downtown, is people. I also think the city needs to work on their crosswalks and stormwater problems, as they are significant and a barrier to walkability.
