The designs for this fence emphasize the unique historic architecture of this neighborhood, which was considered the first "street car suburb" of the Phoenix downtown. Safety, aesthetic design, and long-term maintenance were key considerations of the design, which was part of a larger scope of work to revitalize the Coronado neighborhood.
