BOCA RATON – A new landmark was unveiled in Downtown Boca Raton on February 28th. A ceremony was held for the occasion on-site at 72 North Federal Highway, Sanborn Square Park.
Two iconic arches have been mounted atop stone and tile columns at both ends of Sanborn Square Park. The arches are the final installment in the Pedestrian Promenade Project, a multi-million dollar investment to make the downtown corridor a more pedestrian-friendly environment that will be a benefit to the local economy.
Boca Raton Mayor Susan Whelchel spoke at the unveiling ceremony and believes that this was a momentous occasion for the community. This project has been in the works for several years and Mayor Whelchel made sure to thank the continued service of current and past city council members.
“This landmark, this icon, is representative of what we stand for,” said Mayor Whelchel. “We have finally arrived.”
