The Cox site has the potential to be a new transit hub similar to what Denver did with their Union Station. With Union Depot on the eastern end and terminus you could put a new bus terminal underground underneath a new California Ave from Robinson to EK Gaylord. Then you could have bus, train (commuter rail and Amtrak) and streetcar all in one place. Then, just like Denver, build new residential and office towers on the restored street grid between Robinson, EK Gaylord, Reno and Sheridan. That could become the urban transit-oriented neighborhood in OKC.

The transit hub for the next 50 year will be across the street at union station.

Do you actually know about the Denver Union Station or did research on it? Granted I don't see Oklahoma City needing or being able to support something on this scale, I would hope we look at it for inspiration when we redevelop the cox center site.

What we are calling our future transit center is just one small part of the Denver Union station. The cities bus terminal isn't that old, but it would be nice if it was right there with the hub.
