"We are happy to get (the plan amendment) approved," McKinnis told The Oklahoman, "because it allows for excellent housing options that will enhance the overall retail development and provide much needed housing flexibility for the city of Edmond."

It took some haggling, but the developers of Edmond's Legacy at Covell, at Covell and I-35, persuaded the City Council to approve more housing.

Construction activities are ramping up at 103 N. Broadway, a mixed-use project by Switchgrass Capital bringing more housing, retail, dining, and patios to Downtown Edmond!

Beginning this week, to ensure the safety of pedestrians, motorists, and construction crews, the sidewalk and select on-street parking on the west side of Broadway between Campbell Street and Hurd Street will be temporarily closed to accommodate construction and business expansion in Downtown Edmond.

A signed detour will guide pedestrians to the east side of Broadway throughout this segment. This phase is anticipated to last approximately two months, with further closures planned as construction progresses.

Pedestrians are advised to follow posted detour signage and exercise caution in the area. The City of Edmond appreciates the public's patience and cooperation for the duration of this project.

The Aquatic Center at the Mitch Park YMCA is one of the few competition pools in Oklahoma and represents a great partnership between the City of Edmond, Government and Edmond Public Schools that benefits our students and local economy.

It can get too hot even for swimming, or at least for family and friends of competitive swimmers at Edmond's Mitch Park. City says help is on the way.
