So I will be en route to Oklahoma City tomorrow and wanted to leave you with what I think are some of the best posts from the last six months.  Thanks for reading and have a Merry Christmas!

  1. Mapping Pedestrian Friendliness in OKC

    2. This was one of my earliest posts and still my favorite. I really like Gehl’s work and it is interesting to apply it to Oklahoma City. Check it out and try to contribute to the map of pedestrian friendly places. Though I heard from someone the other day that there is not really a reason to map pedestrian-friendliness in OKC, you can just count of the places on your fingers…:)

  2. Ten Must-Haves for OKC’s Downtown Park

    3. It is fun to dream about the future of the “central park” that is being planned as part of Core 2 Shore. OKC has needed a downtown park or other place to serve as the “heart” of the city for years and it seems it is finally coming. Check out the list and add your own lists!

  3. Oklahoma City’s 1910 Plan for Grand Boulevard by W.H. Dunn

    4. OKC has a fascinating planning history that is largely unexplored. I am in the middle of researching a thesis about this history and found this great plan for OKC’s parks and boulevards.

  4. The NEW I-40 Pedestrian Bridge

    5. The bridge is beautiful! What more is there to say?

  5. Bricktown Parking: Killing Two Birds with One Streetcar

    6. Parking in Bricktown was a hot topic last summer!  I say, if we really want to solve the parking problem then we have to think outside the box and take our first steps toward a downtown transit system. In this post I layout a plan to make it happen.

  6. I Love Oklahoma!

    7. First big post and it took me forever to produce; so there is some sentimental value there.

  7. What Is the Future of Suburbia?

    8. Ideas that I enjoy discussing (keeping comment vague and general because I can’t remember exactly what I talked about).

  8. Oklahoma City Gas Counter

    9. Tells an amazing story! The steep “double black diamond” slope on the right shows both my stock portfolio, as well as my dreams for cities that encourage biking, walking, and smart urban form, come crashing down.

  9. Walkability Rankings: Oklahoma City #35

    10. I love cities that allow for walking and think Oklahoma City has plenty of room for improvement – as this walkability ranking attests. This post overviews the rankings, some of the flaws with their analysis, and discusses other issues related to walkability in Oklahoma City.

  10. Axel Peemoeller’s Funky Parking Garage

    11. This is just sweet!

BONUS: Sunrise in Boston!

I am digging this new mobile upload feature and can’t believe I scored this amazing sunrise the day after I set it up! Looking forward to many more posts on the go in 2009!
