Why did they put a landfill so close to town?

Actually, Oklahoma City has three landfills inside the city limits. There is one off NE 23rd and Sooner, I-40 and Rockwell and of course the one off Bryant. I thank when they built the landfills they did not anticipate rapid growth. Not mention when the landfills were planned OKC was mostly a rural city.

This landfill could be closed and "grassed-over". I read about one on the east coast somewhere that is a park.

It seems something like this would have to happen in order for a successful mixed-use redevelopment to happen.

I was wondering, too, if it could be "re-habbed". At what point does a landfill become FULL? That thing's gotta rival Black Mesa for tallest point in Oklahoma!

Hardly. Have you seen Mt. Scott?
