"Lack of a master plan" as cited in the article is really the key point here. Take the I-44 expansion: it was never mean to be expanded with all available easements sold out to property owners, only to be later bought back at top dollar because two lane highways are insufficient for a metro of 500,000 people. Who would have thought that?

Having driven all over this town for years, ALL over... there doesn't seem to be any form of master plan, and there never really was, the town is rather random in it's current form.

Having sidewalks and bike lanes is a great idea, but it falls in line with the approved nuclear power plant (Oklahoma has never had nuclear power, and a new plant has not been build anywhere since 1975, but it is APPROVED), the new bus line (why can't the old one be fixed again?), and a city rail system (the old one was scrapped decades ago in favor of cars).

In a poorly run municipality, this would be a great move if it would only happen.
