Turnpike frustration continues in Norman
SUMMARY: Frustrations continue in Norman over a proposed turnpike that could uproot parts of East Norman. The turnpike appears in the city’s 2045 Transportation Plan, recently approved by the Norman City Council, sparking taxpayer concerns about growth management and development. Critics argue the city should focus on infill rather than expanding into East Norman. Although the Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled in 2006 that turnpikes cannot be used for economic development, the proposed route remains in city and Access Oklahoma plans as a long-term planning document. City officials say inclusion on the map doesn’t guarantee construction, but residents question why it’s shown if not intended.
