area; cannot be easily maintained with traditional flood -warning devices. There is a need to reveal warnings to
those who can't read, such as small children. Artist Mr. Echevarria presents art with safety issues addressed. The
wall shape will act as "wier." Colors act as warning signs relative to the way the colors of a stop light work. A
viewing window will allow passers by to see water levels behind the retaining wall. Sidewalk line patterns designed
by the artist will increase in frequency as pedestrians approach the tunnel— it encourages people to slow down as
they approach the area.
Jellyfish & squid imagery in the artwork proposal is a reference to the sea life that once occupied the area marry
millennia ago. Tile -work creating the sea creature's shapes will be inset in the concrete.
