Clock Tower Square work to begin in July
Construction and additional beautification of the Clock Tower Square on Baker Street in Cranbrook is set to begin later this summer.
The project was identified as a 2014 capital project in the recent City of Cranbrook council budget deliberations and has been budgeted at $200,000, of which $150,000 was carried forward from 2013 and an additional $50,000 is coming from the city’s surplus account.
Three designs were provided to council and to the Downtown Business Association for review in 2013, and the preferred design is being implemented.
“Clock Tower Square is one of Cranbrook’s tourism highlights and is an important meeting place for our residents,” said Mayor Wayne Stetski. “These changes will increase the value of our downtown area as an attractive place to visit and to experience a sense of community.”
The project includes the removal of the current brick walkways, which will be replaced with decorative concrete. The site will see a significant improvement with additional trees, shrubs, perennial planters, grassed areas and irrigation system, along with a drinking fountain. The Clock Tower Square will also see the installation of benches, some tables and garbage receptacles and also includes the installation of lights similar to those currently in place along 10th Avenue between Baker Street and 1st Street South.
