COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) – Grants will enable a community group to plant trees along a three-mile stretch of a busy Council Bluffs street.  The North Broadway Alliance says it’s received $55,000 from various organizations to complete the project. Volunteers will help with the plantings, which will take place when the weather is better.

The Council Bluffs Daily Nonpareil reports the trees will be planted three-deep, with ornamentals nearest the street and larger trees behind. Organizers say the project will bring residents together.  The North Broadway Alliance is a grassroots group comprised of neighborhood associations.
