Lime scooters started popping up around downtown El Reno last week. The ridesharing scooters are part of a trial program approved recently by the El Reno City Council.

Riders access and pay to ride the scooters by using a mobile application.

El Reno will join the nation on Memorial Day, remembering those who gave their lives to ensure freedom lives on for those who call the United States of America home.

Mike Booher, commander of American Legion Post 34, said the preparation for the ceremony on Monday, May 31 will begin Saturday morning, May 29.

That’s when Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, as well as volunteers, will gather at the El Reno Cemetery to place small American flags on the graves of those who served in the U.S. military.

Construction crews began tearing up the road leading to the new Rock Island overpass last week as work continues to move closer to the summer completion date.

Motorists can expect more delays at the intersection of Elm Street and Rock Island as the eastbound lane on Elm Street has been narrowed to one lane near the construction area.

El Reno turned out big time Saturday for the Big Bulk Dump Day held near the Denny-Crump Rodeo Arena. Lines began forming early with vehicles filled with all kinds of debris and unwanted household items. By mid-afternoon the line of vehicle waiting to unload stretched onto Sunset Drive, as far east as Vicki’s Drive-Thru Convenience Store.

The city of El Reno partnered with the Oklahoma Environmental Management Authority to host the cleanup event.
