OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) – City leaders are asking for the public’s input on beautification projects.

- I-40 and Council Rd. interchange
- Route 66
- Public art and monuments at key intersections, including a statue of Ralph Ellison
- Updated low-maintenance landscaping along key arterial roads

“We are inviting residents to share their visions for improvements that will help guide the MAPS 4 beautification plan,” MAPS 4 Program Manager David Todd said. “We’re looking forward to hearing input from our residents on what they envision and where they want to see the beautification improvements in Oklahoma City.”
Those public meetings will be held:
