Now that we've heard the OTA's pitch for the new turnpike on The Lost Ogle Show, it's time to hear the case against it.
Earlier this week, I had the honor of speaking with Dr. Amy Cerato with PikeOffOTA to get her take on the controversial turnpike expansion that's planned to slice through southeast Moore, Norman, Oklahoma City, and other rural metro communities.
Dr. Cerato is uniquely qualified to speak on the topic, as she's both A) a Professor in the School of Civil Engineering and Environmental Science at OU, and B) lives directly in the path of the proposed turnpike. We discussed her background as a civil engineer, criticisms of the route, the need for new highways, environmental concerns, and even rose rocks.
