New design for NYC streets: OASIS misting arches

Jun 25, 2025

We’re rolling out a new element for Street Lab’s OASIS program! The first prototype of our misting arches kit is headed to Jackson Heights for use by our partners at the 34th Avenue Open Street Coalition. The kit deploys in ten minutes, connects to a standard residential hose spigot or an approved hydrant adapter, and stores away in a bin. Pop-up that cools off New Yorkers.

Thanks to Con Edison for support. Learn more about OASIS and get in touch to help us expand this work across the city!

The new misting arches design is part of Street Lab’s OASIS program launched in 2023, which includes a misting river and mobile landscapes.
