CityofOshkosh Chapter30 – Page175 MunicipalCode Alley Activation Plan – A Plan to Enhance Public Space Behind Main Street An activated alley is a public space that is activated and pedestrianized to support community, economic and social improvements. It is an area designed as a place for people. It can be considered an “Urban Living Room”. The alley can serve as a back drop for community activities that support the arts, local businesses and neighborhood activities. Residents will feel invited and safe exploring this public space. Attributes of a Successful Alley · safe and walkable · commercial presence · food and beverages · provide a venue for public art · improved lighting · activities and spaces for all ages · Clean and functional space respecting current required uses The 400 N Main Street Alley Activation Plan establishes a shared vision for alley activation in downtown Oshkosh. The plan will provide the necessary background and strategies to help guide the community towards repurposing the underused public space. The anticipated audience for the Alley Activation Plan is the downtown residential and business community as well as the greater Oshkosh community. This plan is not intended to dictate the uses of private property, rather provide insightful suggestions on how to make use of public space to engage the community. Property owners are not expected to provide unwanted public access to their properties. This document will support and encourage dialogue on how the alley can be activated and serve as a backdrop for art, events and commerce in the central city. Developed by the Alley Activation Partnership with community input, this plan should provide guidance to property owners, residents and businesses on how to activate this public space. Implementation of the activated alley will rely on public-private partnerships, partly because the City has limited ability to accept costs for non-standard streets, and partly to ensure that such improvements are tended by the people who are vested in the project.
