Core to Shore and Sustainability
 
Sustainable OKC will host a presentation on the Core to Shore planning
process on Wednesday, July 18, at 5:30 p.m.  Russell Claus, project
manager, and Hans Butzer, lead designer, will give an overview of Core
to Shore and discuss sustainability in the area.  Join us for an
opportunity to learn about this important visioning and planning process
and share your ideas for making the area more sustainable.
 

Note:  This presentation will be about the Core to Shore project, not
the I-40 realignment.  The I-40 realignment is the responsibility of the
the Oklahoma Department of Transportation.  Core to Shore, a project of
the City of Oklahoma City, is planning the best use for the land that
will open up when the highway is relocated.

What is Core to Shore?

 

The new I-40 realignment and boulevard will bring significant changes to
Oklahoma City, especially to the area between downtown (the "core") and
the Oklahoma River (the "shore"). This will open up new interests for
development opportunities and provide better access to neighborhoods and
businesses throughout the area between downtown and the river.

 

Core to Shore will provide a plan for the changes and growth that will
result from the upcoming I-40/Crosstown Realignment.  Soon after the new
freeway is built, the overhead lanes of the current I-40 between
Oklahoma and Walker Avenues will be replaced with a new boulevard at
ground level. This new street will be the gateway to downtown and
encourage new development to compliment recent downtown investments.
