OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) — A project aimed at improving safety, accessibility, and neighborhood connectivity is planned between the Paseo Arts District and Uptown 23rd District.
The Walker Street Enhancement Project is expected to upgrade the area between NW 23rd Street and NW 32nd Street, creating a safer and more inviting route for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers.
The project is funded through $5 million from the Better Streets, Safer City Sales Tax Program, a voter-approved extension of the MAPS 3 penny sales tax, which generated $264 million to support roadway resurfacing, street enhancements, sidewalks, trails, and bicycle infrastructure around Oklahoma City.
