NEW GROWTH ON BROADSTREET! Trees, Sidewalks, Benches, Streetlamps! Residents will notice the ongoing construction of the new historic downtown enhancements at the North entrance to Broad Street near the railroad trestle. The street enhancements are an ongoing collaborative project by the City of Globe, Historic Globe Main Street Program, Cobre Valley Center for the Arts, My Own Back Yard Committee, and the Globe Tree Committee.

Last week, a variety of deciduous and non-deciduous trees chosen by the Tree Committee have been planted. The selection of trees was chosen based on their ability to provide shade and for their low water-use characteristics. Project Manager Chris Collopy states, “The City Public Works is working vey hard to enhance North Broad Street by installing new curbs, gutters and planting areas for the new trees. Bricks, pavers and benches will follow soon.” Once completed, the new streetscape in downtown Globe will welcome both residents and tourists to pause, enjoy and stay for a while.

Volunteers are needed to lay the pavers in mid-January. Please call the Cobre Valley Center for the Arts at (928) 425-0884 for more information on volunteering on this downtown project.

Lighted Bollards will be installed throughout the downtown area as each bollard is handcrafted over the upcoming year. For more information on sponsoring a lighted bollard, please call the Cobre Valley Center for the Arts at 928 425 0884.

The 2009-2010 historic downtown street enhancements have been entirely funded from HUD Streetscape Grants and from generous sponsorships through the Bollard Sponsorship Program.
