City of Fort Collins Art in Public Places Program (Images from Pedestrian Paver Project)
Request for Proposal (# 7422)
�
The Fort Collins Art in Public Places Program is requesting black & white line drawings, either representational or abstract
concepts, portraying the theme of “Windows into the Past”. The winning designs will be sandblasted into granite pavers and
placed into sidewalks along the Turnberry Road Project. The artwork will be a signature piece in Fort Collins and be highly visible
to the public.
�
PROJECT
�
The Turnberry Road Project involves the construction of a two-lane arterial roadway, including on-street bike lanes, a center turn
lane, landscaped parkways, and sidewalks between Country Club Road and Brightwater Drive. The new two-lane arterial will be
constructed to the east of the existing roadway, transitioning back to existing at Brightwater Drive. A pedestrian underpass
providing connectivity to the trail system is also planned.
Fort Collins artist Susan Dailey will be creating painted mural panels that reflect the theme of “Windows into the Past”, alluding
to a walk through the past, reminiscing the use of the landscape in this area’s history for the pedestrian underpass on the trail
near Turnberry Road. To compliment this adjoining project, the theme for the pavers will be “Windows into the Past” This
theme could include images of farming, early settlers, landscape, etc.
