Summer Service Opportunities

Downtown Edmond Alleyway Activation Project
The City of Edmond has partnered with the OU Institute for Quality Communities to create a temporary pedestrian space in the Oschner Drive alleyway in Downtown Edmond. This program is designed to showcase how a permanent pedestrian corridor like this could benefit businesses in the area and contribute to the overall Downtown experience. Our plans include closing the alley to vehicular traffic, painting the surface of the alley, and adding art, lighting, pop up shops, seating areas, and other exciting activites to the alley. But we need your help to pull it off!

Volunteer on Sunday, May 30th or Thursday, June 30th to help paint the surface of the alleyway, set-up and take down event supplies and road barriers, help direct traffic, and much more.
