Artist Andrew Dufford explained the background of the Four Corners Project and
his involvement in the project. He showed the board his new designs for the light poles
medallions, and sidewalk railings. The artist proposed placing art on four light poles and
four sidewalk medallions per block. These would be placed on the four blocks
intersecting at the corner of Mason and LaPorte. The artist also proposed the idea of a
"sidewalk railing" that would go along Mason on the west side of the street next to the
new parking structure. The board discussed the three design options presented.
