Bristow's Town Square Being Revitalized As Part Of Route 66 Landmark Renovation Project

Bristow’s Town Square, which is one of the city's biggest gathering places, is being revitalized.

Bristow’s Historical Society is working to enhance that area in the center of Main Street, starting with a new roof for a historic depot nearby.

This effort is a part of the town’s Route 66 Landmark Renovation Project.

So far, all tiles have been removed for new roofing and the structure of the town square has been repainted.

The city is looking for about $400,000 for updates and preservation effort.

Brian Peters is heading construction work and is a city councilor in Bristow.

Peters said plans include adding landscaping, lighting, and new plaques to highlight the sites donors.

"I think it lets the community know and other people know that we have a quality of life here that we set a standard for. And we want to preserve who we are as well as grow and go into the future," Brian Peters, City Councilor Ward 4 Bristow, said.

Phase one is almost done at the Town Square before they start the beautification efforts. Peters said the Town Square should be done in July.
