DESIGN REVIEW Tim Sellers, Civil Engineer with the Engineering Department, and artist Joshua Weiner were in attendance to share the project. If approved, Ms. Martin will take the Board’s recommendation to City Council. Tim Sellers gave overview of the project that has been a City goal since the 1980s. Joshua Weiner shared about the artwork. Taking advantage of the new views of the landscape afforded by the overpass, sculptural swirls and rings play with the horizon creating a playful sense of movement. The swirl and ring motifs will be 2D on the overpass bridge fence and continue on the approaches to the overpass as ten 3D sculptures in the landscape. Freestanding rings will appear to roll through the landscape or float in the sky depending on their placement within the horizon and are intended to focus visitors’ attention on different vistas. The artwork on the bridge fence is funded by the capital project. There were questions about the possibility of lighting the artwork. Ms. Martin shared in addition to the City’s Dark Sky limitations, there was feedback from the neighborhood to limit ambient light from the overpass. Mr. Wiener said that the locations of the sculptures were chosen near streetlights to take advantage of the light. Ms. Hixon moved to accept the project as described in the design.
