The Oklahoma City Planning Commission met on November 12, 2026. Most agenda items concerned plats, rezoning, variances, and site plans; the meeting did not include contract awards or vendor selections. The main funding and infrastructure discussion concerned the proposed first amendment and restated Western Gateway project plan. The amendment would increase the project cost budget from $60 million to $64 million—about 3%—for potential Western Avenue traffic improvements, including roundabouts at 15th Street and Hangar Drive, possible utility undergrounding, and stormwater infrastructure. The commission approved the resolution recommending City Council approval. Staff said the existing Tier 1 contract covers its budget, which has been allocated to public infrastructure and an elementary school in the Wheeler District; other project-plan changes would require additional review and approval.

Staff also discussed planned procurement activity for the Meridian corridor: the city is developing an RFP to further assess market, land-use, transportation, and streetscape concepts. The 2025 general obligation bond includes two $4.5 million streetscape allocations, for Reno to 15th Street and 15th Street to Southwest 29th Street; staff said it would seek matching funds. No RFP was issued or awarded at this meeting. Separately, the commission recommended approval of several development applications and denied PUD 2148; these land-use decisions did not constitute purchasing or contracting actions.
