Over the past four years, the city of Oklahoma City already has invested more than $9 million on the corridor for decorative lighting, landscaped medians, sidewalks, road resurfacing and waterlines in an effort to stimulate growth.
But more is yet to come.
Back in March, Oklahoma City Councilman Skip Kelly shared his vision of his northeast quadrant district. It was also the same day he told attendees Ward 7 would get approximately $9 million for further infrastructure projects. The work of the previous streetscape project, which Kelly says improved the area but didn’t go far enough, would be enhanced.
But money – while helpful – wouldn’t be enough. That’s why Kelly lobbied for and won stronger ordinances for the area.
