How many boat houses does a river need?

I agree. It will be great to have a showcase of modern architecture along the river as people travel here from all over to come to these competitions.

But PLEASE, PLEASE plant a bunch of trees!

Agreed! I would like to see any area that is not developed, shaded by beautiful green trees. Man-made structures aren't the only thing you can utilize to add a little density to an area.

I totally agree. I was down there last night and it looks pretty good, but it does need more trees. I know they've planted a lot and they are slowly maturing but there needs to be more of an initiative to get trees down there.


'Softer' banks would also be nice so they're not so stark. Something like this could definitely be done to the Oklahoma River (ignore the skyline):

I don't even think you'd need bonding to get trees down there. Let people that care plant them.

If somebody were to organize it, I'd be willing to tote a tree or two down there, dig some holes, and drop them in...Provided that 1) I got a deal on the trees from a local tree place, 2) I was told what trees to plant and exactly where to plant them and 3) I get to kick the first person to suggest a billboard down there right square in the pills.

I would seriously do this (not the kicking part), and I'm neither a downtown resident nor somebody who is prone to donating my time and money to civic projects. I'm just a guy who loves the water and thinks that this city is severely lacking in landscaping almost everywhere.

Well, okay...Maybe the kicking part too.
