Comments on: How We Move: Oklahoma looks at public transit http://www.voicesofok.org/2009/07/how-we-move-oklahoma-looks-at-public-transit/ Tue, 31 Jan 2012 13:56:52 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 By: Mary Francis http://www.voicesofok.org/2009/07/how-we-move-oklahoma-looks-at-public-transit/comment-page-1/#comment-130 Mary Francis Sat, 01 Aug 2009 21:45:27 +0000 http://www.voicesofok.org/?p=567#comment-130 Thanks for a great article, Callie. You covered all the critical issues! More people are needed to speak (2 ot 3 minutes) in favor of moving the new I-40 Crosstown 125 ft south onto already purchased right-of-way. The time is NOW if you want to have meaningful public transportation without asking for $2 Billion in new taxes to replace what we already have - the largest rail yard left in the West and an elegant building designed to be a rail hub. Less than $50 million would be all it takes to move the crosstown and preserve our rail opportunity. Log on to OnTrac get some talking points and volunteer. Thanks for a great article, Callie.

More Oklahomans need to be thinking about how transporation will look in the future, and planning accordingly. It seems like public transportation infrastructure will be more critical to the survival of lower and middle class people in a geographically spread out area like Oklahoma than in a compact urban area.

I think he brings an amazing amount of perspective to his issue. http://www.normantranscript.com/archivesearch/local_story_171011533 http://www.normantranscript.com/archivesearch/local_story_293002340 I thought it might be helpful to post links to a couple of Ed Kessler’s very important op eds for the Norman Transcript on light rail in Oklahoma.
