Maybe part of the problem is that it's a trifecta of jurisdictions. "West Edmond" usually includes far Northwest Oklahoma City and Deer Creek Schools. Go to any of the neighborhood facebook/nextdoor pages for these neighborhoods and you'll see those complain about a problem to the City of Edmond, all while they actually reside in Oklahoma City.
Edmond city limits end about half a mile past Santa Fe on 178th and divide down 15th/164th. Many who claim they live in Edmond (because they have an Edmond mail address) actually live in OKC with blue trash cans, OKC water, etc.
FOX 25 did an entertaining story on this with Mayor Holt:

The 1x1 grid system with no major east west highway or expressways greatly complicates matters as new, densely populated neighborhoods continue to build north and west. If ODOT had the money, Hefner Parkway/Portland should have been extended to 192nd with controlled access (no stoplights) to aid in north/south traffic. Right now this ends at 150th.
