Oklahoma City's Bricktown air quality reflects the historic entertainment district adjacent to the Bricktown Canal, with vehicle traffic on the surrounding downtown corridors and the concentrated venue traffic contributing local sources. The flat Oklahoma terrain allows generally good dispersal, while the neighbourhood's walkable canal district character and the consistent Great Plains southerly winds maintain moderate Oklahoma City metropolitan readings throughout most of the year.
