City presents SR 347 north-entry landscaping, monument plans with year-end target
Summary
City staff described a multi-year landscaping and monument project along State Route 347 at Maricopa's north entry, saying trees, rock boulders, lighted metal structures and an entry monument are planned and that completion is expected by the end of the year.
A city presenter told the Planning and Zoning Commission on Sept. 13 that the City of Maricopa is moving forward with a long-planned beautification project along State Route 347 from Honeycutt Road into the north entries of town.
The project will add trees, rock boulders, landscaping, lighted metal structures and an entry monument in the median to create a more prominent north gateway into Maricopa, the presenter said. "We're going to have an impressive monument right in the middle of the road that represents the city of Maricopa," the presenter said, noting the effort has been years in the making and responds to council and citizen requests.
Why it matters: SR 347 is the principal entrance to the city; the project aims to create a consistent, landscaped approach as commercial and residential growth continues. The presenter said the project had broad public support and thanked those who volunteered for cleanup efforts that accompanied recent beautification activities.
Timeline: staff said they expect to have the landscaping and monument project completed by the end of the year.
Ending: For details on community cleanup events related to the city's beautification efforts, staff directed listeners to keepmaricopabeautiful.com and asked the public to monitor city channels for construction notices as the project is implemented.
