Clock Tower

Manufacturer: ICON Shelter Systems - Holland, MI Location: Roundabout at First Avenue South and 12th Street Year: July 2017 Dimensions: 35’ H total; 32’ H tower and 3’ H masonry base Medium: Description: The city leaders in Fort Dodge, Iowa have been talking about installing gateway features to enhance entry points to downtown since 2015. This year, ABCreative helped to make this a reality for one of the entry points. Project History: Plans started much earlier than 2015. In 2010, Snyder & Associates was chosen to provide corridor studies, design and construction documents for a cross-town arterial roadway through the city linking the downtown with the eastern retail area near the Crossroads Mall. The cross-town arterial was envisioned and developed as a “complete street” accommodating pedestrian access as well as streetscape enhancements. Streetscape improvements included identifying potential tree planting locations, monument features, decorative lighting and intersection enhancements. One of the first streetscape enhancements the city requested was a clock tower in the centerpiece of the roundabout. Funded by: Website: https://abcreative.net/clock-tower-fort-dodge-iowa/
