Staff and attorneys from the Pullman & Comley law firm, an active member of the Bridgeport business community for more than 100 years, helped clean up overgrown garden beds and plant new flowers and plants at the Broad Street Steps on the corner of Broad and Elm streets on two recent Fridays.

The beautification service project was held in conjunction with the Bridgeport Downtown Special Services District, which was formed in 1987 to help keep the neighborhood clean and promote local small businesses.

Bridgeport artist Liz Squillace designed and painted the steps in 2017 with a pattern that represents the double-helix structure of DNA. Squillace told the “Connecticut Post” at the time, “The DNA strip is meant to represent the city of Bridgeport and our shared humanity.”
