I agree and have been thinking the same thing as thus development has been revealed. Just a few weeks ago some were saying in the police station thread that it wasn't especially important for the area around the police station to be walkable.

Yet as this hotel comes online a only a block from the proposed station, it will become more obvious that we are creating an unnecessary pedestrian disconnect from places like the Civic Center, the OKC National Memorial and the NW part of downtown. Will it be possible to walk from one place to the other? Of course. But will the sidewalk draw a person there, or make them feel especially safe walking that way? No.
