Friends for a Better Boulevard

[shawnw]

supposedly once it was completed and turned over to the city, then the city would implement the bike lanes and such... is what I was told at one of the publuc meetings...

You can find the full sets of plans on ODOTs website.

Where?

Interesting detailed cross section of Oklahoma Avenue and OKC Boulevard-

That link is not working. Is it the same thing posted in the plans that came about awhile back?

On a side note, I've been here for about a week and have a day left, but I went and checked it out and they are literally rebuilding the old highway.

They left the steel beams exposed like they used to and didn't encase them in cement or do any artwork. It sucks.

Here is that photo.

Facebook is weird about photos sometimes.

Sorry for the link problems folks. I suspect that you may have to "join" Friends for a Better Boulevard's Facebook Page for it to automatically let you through to see posts and pictures. If you haven't done so, I would encourage you to. Bob or I will approve the request.

We have the group settings at semi-restrictive to avoid spam. We had bots and trolls joining when it was a "open" group promoting shoes and so forth. It was troublesome for us as volunteers thus the security change.

Plus we wanted to monitor whether ODOT was trying to access the group's page. It turns out that they were. Several of the people on the project were using their kid's Facebook accounts to try to see if or how we were organizing before the public meetings. Another chapter...

Where?

Yes Buffalo Bill... please provide a link. We want to see them.

Plans List

Look for call order 320.

Wow that is a lot to take in.

Am I reading the plans correctly and seeing up-to-10 foot wide sidewalks along parts of the BLVD and EKG?

[Urban Pioneer]

It looks that way to me and it would be in line with what has been stated by Public Works Director Eric Wenger to provide a adequate pedestrian connection to the front door of the Peake and Core2Shore.

The Boulevard is a disaster. I am so glad I have no reason to go to downtown now.

ODOT's Folly: and our city staff's as well for letting them build this, standing in the way of FBB.

Well why would anyone even need to go anywhere other than the Peake?

[Urban Pioneer]

It looks as though the city got their wish for P180 lights to be incorporated into the Boulevard.

[shawnw]

But that's Shields, right?

[Urban Pioneer]

Yes. They told ODOT that they wanted the finish materials to be of P180 spec. It looks like the lights have made it through. Now to seek if all of the other P180 materials, bricks, bollards, crossings, etc have also made it through final design.

Silly, but interesting.

Including the street striping material?

If you read the plans you asked for above that I referenced, you would have already known this.

Post highlight screencaps?

Post highlight screencaps?

I can't right now, maybe someone else has time? Sheets T10-T18 are the best overall (traffic striping plans).

Thanks for being attentive and posting this link. Interesting to see the streetcar route reflected in the plans.

I see the bike lane detail, but I can't seem to find any actual bike lanes. Can somebody point them out to me?

[Plutonic Panda]

11ft. wide driving lane for a 25MPH speed limit. This is really messed up. Now it's just going to be a huge speed trap.
