Thank you to everyone who participated in making Phase 1 of the ARTery a success! Community members can now enjoy sidewalk murals and little houses along the trail connecting The Field open space and Broomfield County Commons Park. For more information, visit Broomfield.org/PublicArt.

Be transported on the ARTery! Broomfield’s proposed creative corridor project is kicking off a pilot segment to design creative elements along trails throughout Broomfield.

Inspired by creative corridors found across the country, the ARTery aims to enhance the low-stress network of walk and bike paths with engaging art and culture experiences. Sections of these paths will be selected through multiple phases to be incorporated into the ARTery. These sections will be the new home of various types of cultural experiences, from pop-up to permanent. By discovering cultural experiences across the Broomfield, the ARTery will provide unexpected moments of wonder and curiosity - where you already are! The long-term, multi-year goal is to incorporate the ARTery into the complete low-stress walk and bike network throughout all five Broomfield wards to meet the following goals:

  1. Curate public art experiences to provoke curiosity, inspire wonder and create engagement in unexpected places.
  2. Enhance existing and future low-stress routes and trails throughout Broomfield.
  3. Connect neighborhoods, celebrate creativity and augment healthy activities in outdoor spaces.
  4. Cultivate a sense of one Broomfield.

Additionally, the City and County of Broomfield is working on an active transportation wayfinding plan and design standards, another identified priority in the Assessment that will also be piloted along this corridor, see BroomfieldVoice.com/Wayfinding.

Phase 1

The first phase will be a pilot segment connecting two hubs, The Field Open Space and Broomfield Commons Open Space, and includes proposed public art installations. This low-stress route provides paved trails for walking, running, and biking though beautiful parks, playgrounds, open space and neighborhoods. On the map below, green icons are existing public art, house icons show possible and prioritized locations for the public art pilot project described below and yellow icons are hubs that include a variety of places to visit and things to explore!
