Family-Friendly Activities Increased Foot Traffic to Main Street
By MONICA CALZOLARIONEONTA
Jump ropes, pogo sticks, sidewalk chalk, a bubble machine and a mega chess game were just a few of the family-friendly additions to the City of Oneonta’s Muller Plaza this past summer.
Kaler Carpenter, program manager of the Youth Clubhouses operated by Friends of Recovery of Delaware and Otsego Counties, summarized his organization’s contributions at a Common Council meeting on October 17, 2023.
Carpenter said, “Muller Plaza was designed as a community space and is underutilized.”A concerted effort is being made to increase foot traffic on Main Street in Oneonta and to find other uses for the plaza.
