Thread: Page Woodson School

    I hope that the city as well as local developers can continue to expand on this project and others like it in a way that does not displace current residents. I drive around the city for fun looking through different neighborhoods and this development and the East side in general has become one of my favorites. We have a lot of surface area to cover as a developing and growing city. Finding the right balance between population density and sprawl will define Oklahoma City for the next century. This project feels like a very good prescription to that problem.

    Cool video with Willowbrook Construction. They interview developers Ron Bradshaw and Gina Sofola.

    Thank you for the pics as always, Pete. One of my favorite morning routines is getting a nice cup of coffee and then opening up OKCTalk to see several posts with construction update photos like this. It’s the simple joys in life haha

    Really thankful for all of your hard work and for everything you do.

    The reverse-angled parking is interesting. I'm sure there's a well-thought reason for it, but haven't seen that before in OKC.

    There's also some reverse angle parking over off 39th and Penn!

    This turned out great - very Nordic which is a nice break from the traditional brick, siding, dormers-look in Oklahoma. I don't like the roof color though, should've done something lighter/more gray.

    And the local businesses want it changed to normal angle parking since the majority of drivers don't use it correctly and instead swerve across the road to park in the spots facing forward.

    We have back in parking in Denton and I'd say it's about 50/50 on whether people use it correctly. However, it's been there for years and I don't think I've heard of any major accidents.

    Yeah, driving through the 39th Street District relatively frequently, 50/50 is about right.

    That section is pretty narrow with a stop sign right in the middle, so the traffic is pretty slow-moving.

    The way the construction narrowed the west bound lane has made driving this a bit of a harrowing experience. I think the entire stretch needs a road diet or it should've been left the way it was.

    Yes, 4th street is a bicycle route that connects Downtown to the Katy trail, it really sucks they arbitrarily took one lane of the west bound for parking, makes for a bad narrow spot, for cyclists headed west from the Katy. Who gave away a lane of a city street?
