TopicRail system in OKC
ContentOklahoma City has a valuable rail bed at Union Station which connects to the rest of the State including Shawnee, Ardmore, El Reno, Lawton, Guthrie, OKC Zoo, Tinker, Tulsa, Norman and other places. What would possess powerbrokers (with vested interests?) to advocate replacing the rail bed with four miles of a 10-lane highway with bottlenecks at both ends. Oklahoma City has an ozone problem now. Why make it worse by destroying the rails, thus destroying the possibility for light rail anytime soon. A rail system in OKC by far outpassed other priorities in OKC's recent MAPS 3 survey.
