NEWS ADVISORY

 

Corporation Commission Administrative Law Judge Charles Dudley has filed his written report regarding Oklahoma City’s Walnut Street Bridge crossing.

 

Judge Dudley’s recommendation denies the City of Oklahoma City’s request to remove the existing above grade crossing commonly known as the Walnut Street Bridge located between Northeast Second Street and Main Street.

 

With respect to the City’s proposed at-grade crossing, Judge Dudley said in part “Removal of the grade separation as proposed by the city in this proceeding in favor of an at-grade crossing would create an extra hazardous crossing which would be a likely candidate for closure…”

 

Copies of the report are available at Commission offices at the Jim Thorpe Building at 2101 N. Lincoln Blvd. Located in the capitol complex. Media may pick up a copy in room 311b of the Thorpe Building.
