  Union Station, the New I-40 and the Future of Mass Transit in OKCPart IX: Core to Shore (Apr 15, 2007) In the final episode in our series, we look not at transit itself, but rather at how a major transit-related decision -- namely the relocation of I-40 -- will affect Oklahoma City’s future growth and development. The city’s Core to Shore study is planning the details of a proposed urban boulevard that will be built in the footprint of the current expressway, and it’s also considering options for the 590 acres of land between the core of downtown and the shore of the Oklahoma River. Guests include Oklahoma City Mayor Mick Cornett, Core to Shore planning team consultant Sara Jane Maclennan and Russell Claus, the City’s Project Manager for Core to Shore.
