OKC Streetcar Testing Is Happening Around the Gardens Through December
OKC Streetcar is officially being tested around the Gardens and Bricktown. The "Bricktown Line" that runs around the Gardens' property is being tested Monday through Friday from now until December every day from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Visitors to the Gardens – please make sure to park behind the white lines of the metered parking. If a car is blocking the path of the street car, like what we witnessed above, the vehicle will be towed by the city. And, if the vehicle is too close to the line, side mirrors could be damaged as well. It's a new era for downtown!
PS. All ended well with this car in the photo. The driver was inside and was able to move quickly. OKC Streetcar horns are LOUD!
