DATE: November 10, 2026
Issued By: City of Globe
GLOBE, AZ – Just a reminder starting, today, Tuesday, November 10th to Thursday, November 12th the City of Globe is moving forward with a federal Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) demonstration safety project initiative designed to immediately improve traffic and pedestrian safety along the Broad Street Corridor. Funded by a U.S. Department of Transportation grant, the project will serve as a 10-month temporary demonstration to test real-world traffic treatments before the City commits to permanent infrastructure investments.
Crews will soon be active on-site completing the targeted safety enhancements. Motorists, commuters, and local citizens are advised that active work zones may cause temporary traffic delays, brief lane restrictions, or minor disruptions. The City requests that drivers plan for extra travel time, reduce speeds, and exercise heightened caution when navigating through these construction areas.
The targeted safety enhancements will focus heavily on the corridor between Cottonwood Street and Yuma Street. Planned installations include:
• Broad Street and Cottonwood Street: Flashing stop signs, painted curb extensions (bump-outs) with flexible delineator posts, and a ladder-style crosswalk.
• Broad Street and Yuma Street: Flashing stop signs, painted curb extensions (bump-outs) with flexible delineator posts, and a ladder-style crosswalk.
• Intermediate Intersections: Consistent, highly visible ladder-style crosswalks at all major intersections between Cottonwood and Yuma.
These low-cost treatments aim to increase driver awareness at stop signs, shorten crossing distances for pedestrians, and significantly improve visibility for all road users.
Community feedback is a key piece of this safety evaluation. The City will launch public outreach midway through the 10-month demonstration period to gather direct input from residents, business owners, and commuters regarding the effectiveness of the new treatments.
For questions or further information, please contact Stephen Smith at 928-200-9297.
Please Note: Speedy Striping, Inc. is an authorized contractor for the City of Globe performing safety enhancements within the City of Globe. All inquiries, questions, request or complaints regarding any City subcontractors should be directed to the city.

Simpler Renewal Process
Renewing a Globe business license could become a simpler process under a proposed Chapter 8 revision.
If your license hasn't expired or has been expired for less than 30 days, you would be able to renew without filling out a new application. You would just need to confirm that nothing has changed on your original application and pay the license fee.
The City is interested in hearing from local business owners. Send your comments or suggestions to City Council at council@globeaz.gov.

The City of Globe is exploring ways to make doing business in our community easier, and we want your input!
At last night’s Council Meeting, proposed updates to Chapter 8 of the City Code kicked off an important conversation about creating a more business-friendly Globe.
🌟 What's being considered?
✅ Fewer license requirements: New exemptions for certain home-based businesses, event vendors, salon chair renters, and out-of-town businesses.
✅ Simpler fees: Exploring a flat business license fee instead of the current scaled system.
✅ Easier renewals: Less paperwork for qualifying businesses. No changes? No drama!
✅ Streamlined special events: Clearer requirements and simpler processes for event organizers and vendors.
📌 IMPORTANT: These are proposals, NOT final decisions! No Chapter 8 changes have been adopted. A $135 flat fee was discussed as an example, but no fee amount has been approved. Applicable state, county, and other safety regulations would still apply.
💬 THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING!
We know our local business owners and vendors have valuable experiences and ideas to share. Your feedback will help shape a process that's simpler, clearer, and more welcoming to businesses of all sizes.
