Mayor Kathy Taylor's urban planning adviser told the City Council this week that he's working on a concept for a light-rail system that would circulate through downtown and connect to the Arkansas River.
Great news. Let's get it going. We need decent public transit in this city. Light rail would be a great way to do it.
A system could connect the BOK Center, the Tulsa Convention Center, the Performing Arts Center, the Blue Dome District, Oklahoma State University-Tulsa and Tulsa Community College campuses, a potential ballpark and the numerous downtown office and residential buildings, as well as travel south for a link to the river.
I think a rail line running right down Harvard Avenue would be perfect- straight down the middle of the city, connected to downtown and the river, right between the two main north-south highways (75 and 169).
