Osage City Downtown Visioning & Main Street Improvements

The Osage City Downtown Visioning project focuses on practical, people-first improvements that strengthen Market Street as the heart of the community. Through targeted streetscape upgrades, public art, and business activation, the vision improves walkability, safety, and comfort while honoring the historic character of downtown.

Key recommendations include adding street trees and seating, safer pedestrian crossings, pedestrian-scale lighting, murals, and flexible spaces for farmers markets and food trucks. The plan also supports restoring historic buildings, refreshing façades, and encouraging neighborhood-serving businesses that support daily life for residents and visitors alike.

Designed for phased implementation, the vision emphasizes achievable, high-impact investments that build momentum over time—creating a walkable, welcoming downtown that supports local businesses, community gathering, and long-term economic resilience.
