How about a civilized urban vs. suburban discussion?
I want OKC to have the beauty of the option. I realize urban living will likely win out here on this board, and that's fine.
I want the option for people to live in a place such as this:
I want these kinds of places in OKC... I also want these
-----
Shopping/dining/staying at places like this
and this
-----
Having the option of transportation solutions such as these
and these
Now not all of these examples need to be to scale and most of them would likely be scaled down a little bit, but that is the general idea. I want an urban ring from I-240/I-35(to downtown) and then I235-I-44- Continued over I-40. All of that would be urbanized creating one of the biggest/dense urban cities in the US.
Now, I do like very large highways but I am NOT advocating for this:
OKC can and will become a great city and we can have balance between urban and suburban living. As technology gets more advanced, cement will be engineered to last longer and become stronger resulting in reduced road costs.
I will also post in a bit what I consider to be acceptable sprawl and out of control sprawl.
