areas: Achieving sustainable downtown revitalization requires an emphasis on development in three residential development and the creation of a permanent downtown urban neighborhood, improved occupation rates for office and commercial buildings, and diversification of core downtown functions, and continued development of an Entertainment/Cultural district. A revised view of the City’s role in providing supporting infrastructure and services is also needed. Oklahoma City downtown is presently divided into several semi-distinct districts. While the success of downtown as a whole is a top priority, the separate identity of each of these districts is important and needs to be emphasized in future redevelopment efforts. These districts are: Downtown core North Downtown (N. 4th to N. 13th, Classen to I-235) Bricktown entertainment district Harrison-Walnut area Cultural district (including the area from the Civic Center to the Myriad Gardens). Initial redevelopment efforts will need to focus on these districts because they have already been supported by MAPS and bombing funds. It will be difficult to plan for revitalization of the south downtown area (the area between the present alignment of I-40 and the river) until the proposed route for I-40 has been finalized and funds set aside for construction. Redevelopment of this area is unlikely to be successful until the downtown core and contiguous districts are stable and growing on their own accord. Furthermore, strategic alliances should be formed and planning assistance should be provided to the contiguous neighboring districts to help facilitate their stability and encourage redevelopment. Assets MAPS projects Reconstruction in wake of the Murrah bombing Bricktown vitality and capacity for further growth Public support for downtown revitalization (citizen survey). Excellent regional access (I-40, I-35, I-235, I-44 and renewed Amtrak service) Enterprise Community designation and possible Empowerment Zone designation. Potential additional Federal bombing recovery funds Vacant land, much of it in the control of the Urban Renewal Authority Reconstruction of I-40 Automobile Alley revitalization 5
New Federal Campus Murrah National Memorial New YMCA St. Anthony Hospital complex Nonprofit community development and improvement organizations such as Automobile Alley Main Street, Midtown Redevelopment Corporation and Historic Preservation, Inc., Downtown Now, Inc., Myriad Gardens Foundation, and others. Arts Council of Oklahoma City Cultural Complex and Oklahoma City Art Museum (to be located in the Centre Theater building) Potential for the development of a Cultural District. Directions Make downtown an attractive, desirable and efficient center for business and regional entertainment and cultural activities. Make downtown the priority location for government offices, high rise office buildings, business retail, and cultural and athletic attractions. Focus the revitalization strategy on residential development, improved occupancy rates and quality of commercial space, enhancing cultural/entertainment options and supporting infrastructure (parking and parking management, streets, access, signage, green space, streetscaping, and other amenities and services). Encourage an economic mix of downtown housing that will lead to sustainable growth. Provide public incentives and support for residential development. Make all forms of transportation safe, easy and pleasant downtown. Improve downtown appearance. Support diversification of downtown economic and cultural activities. Promote downtown as a “Second Neighborhood” or “Central Social District.” Promote public-private cooperation to support redevelopment. Provide public and encourage private support for nonprofit civic organizations working on behalf of the different downtown sub-districts. Promote, protect, cherish, honor, value, safeguard, and revitalize our historical resources. Ensure downtown education facilities and experiences are the highest quality. 6
