As you can tell from newspaper editorials and internet discussion boards, the opinions are split but passionate on the MAPS 3 proposal. For example, my MAPS 3 opinion page has over twenty responses, and we'll just say that exclamation marks are used more than a few times. With the vote just less than a month away, all the details of the plan are becoming clear and the sides are organizing efforts.

Coming out in support of MAPS 3 are, obviously, the mayor and the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber, as well as many other civic organizations, schools and businesses. They have a campaign website at www.yesformaps.com. On the other side of the issue are Oklahoma City's fire and police unions, among others. Their committee "Not This MAPS" claims there are far more pressing concerns in the current economic climate.

As for the proposal itself, specific details continue to emerge. The streetcar system would be five to six miles downtown, State Fair Park would get exhibit space and public building upgrades, and a whitewater kayaking venue would be added on the Oklahoma River. One MAPS 3 component, the downtown park, was more clearly illustrated at a presentation a couple of weeks ago. Designers intend to include a cafe, lake, amphitheater, dog park and skating rink. Frankly I think that's a bit too busy, but what do I know.

What do you think? Voice your opinion on MAPS 3 and how you intend to vote.

Jane Schane knew where last week's photo was taken. That was the Dean A. McGee Eye Institute on NW 56th, with the photo submission by About.com contributor Roni Collins.

And this week, we have another one from Roni, who has discovered this side of the game is fun too. My thanks once again to Roni for the submissions. Post your guesses for this week's picture below.

If anyone else would like to submit one for a future week, just send it my way for consideration, and make sure you identify it as "Where in the Metro?".
