Where is the "bowling alley land" located (I'm not familiar with Del City). I would assume due to purchase this is the selected location?
Hi John,
Thanks for the question. A very good one and one which other may have too. Planning is going to update the site to include this information along with an aerial map.
The address of the New Del City Library will be 4330 SE 15TH ST.
Thanks again
Todd
Great! Thanks for the information.
John, Here's the link to the Aerial overview.
Michael my co-worker told me that the bollards
are the pillars to stop traffic, but why would
they need to be replaced on such a new construction?
Joan
Thanks for asking Joan
The bollards, as designed by the architect, provided light but did not provide any protection for the walking customers. A “lighted –security” bollard is needed. OKC has acknowledged this and has indicated they will pay to for this work. OKC & MLS are working together to make this change.
