Main Street's New Look

There is a new look on Main Street this week. Take notice as you drive by. New street lights have been installed on the west side of Main Street between 100 North and Center Street. New trees (seedless Sunburst Honey Locust) were planted along that same area today. The same type of street lights will be installed along 200 North in the future (when money is available and approved by the City Council) so that the look on Main Street will tie into the look on 200 North. The trees along Main Street were dying so they were removed and new trees (that have a different root system) are being planted. Hopefully, those trees will grow better in a confined space. A few benches will be added later along with arms on the street lights so that banners can be attached in the future.

Thanks for posting this information on your new blog. I like the new lights. What comments have you had from businesses regarding the trees? I know in the past some have objected that the trees obscure the storefronts and keep potential customers from seeing what businesses are there.

The business owners along Main Street were all consulted and those that wanted trees in front of their businesses received them.

Thank you for replacing the trees. I was out of the country when they were removed and heard how bleak main street looked. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw new trees in place.
