Once
the site of an ancient Hohokam canal and now a
utility corridor for the Salt River Project, the
seven median islands in this residential neighborhood
have been enhanced by irrigated landscaped berms
with native plantings, colored concrete, bronze
medallions based on Hohokam petroglyphs and designs
depicting water and energy, and a milagro pole
(Spanish for “miracle”) with objects
provided by students, community members and SRP.
The artists worked with students from the Cordova
School to design the enhancements.
