The MAPS 3 Citizen Advisory Board isn’t giving up just yet on finding more money to build sidewalks.

The board asked Oklahoma City staff Thursday to study potential options for funding more sidewalks for MAPS 3, one day after a consultant revealed to a project subcommittee that the city can only afford 26 miles of 70 planned miles of sidewalks, as things stand now.

The board voted unanimously to recommend city council approval of a planning document that prioritizes where the sidewalks should be built, but only with the promise from city staff to look at options for more sidewalks.

“I feel an obligation that our MAPS vote promised 70 miles of sidewalks,” board member Kimberly Lowe said. “I think we should do everything in our power to creatively look and see what can be done to stretch those dollars.”
