Major destinations along the route include Tinker Air Force Base and the heavily populated southside of Oklahoma City. With just under eight million square feet (0.74×10^6 m2) of commercial space,[3][unreliable source?] I-240 is a major corridor of retail, industrial, and office space. As of 2012[update], however, the corridor included some "pockets of shuttered stores and creeping shabbiness" and local planners were in the first stages of efforts to revitalize the corridor.[4]
