Some really housing units were proposed to fit in with a greenway trail connecting to a small mixed use retail development at Coffee Creek and Kelly. In typical Edmond NIMBY fashion there was uproar and the excuse this time was the homes backing up to the golf course property were entitled to have that feature for all eternity. There’s always an excuse why Edmond can’t build anything other than bland cookie cutter strip malls and homes barring few exceptions downtown and frankly Edmond’s downtown doesn’t really excite me all that much other than its potential which is big.

So the current situation is nothing more than cookie cutter housing and maybe the same for some strip mall or office buildings on the corner. That’s it. Surprise surprise.
