SCULPTURE
PLAZA
 |
At
left, an alley on the east side of the 100 block of
North Main Street looked like any other alley
until...
|
|
a
Streetscape project shaped it into Sculpture Plaza,
an inviting space containing relaxing benches, two
fine sculptures and a lovely mural
of hand-painted tiles depicting
the scenic Flint Hills.

STREETSCAPE
PROJECT
 |
What
is Streetscape? For Downtown El Dorado, it was a major
construction project that changed the "face" of the downtown
shopping district. It involved putting in new sidewalks
with contrasting red brick stamped concrete near the curb
and includes all of the amenities - benches, planters,
district markers, limestone bases for sculptures, old-fashioned
lamp posts and new trash receptacles. The 10-block core
area is now a more attractive and a unified shopping area.
|
 |
The
west side of the 100 block of North Main Street was in
a severe state of disrepair until...
|
|
a
Streetscape project laid new sidewalks, with red brick-like
edging
at streetside, added benches and old- fashioned lamp posts,
and assisted
local business Tolle Furniture
with updating their facade.
