ADVISORY BOARD ACTION

Subject:	Public Arts Contextual Master Plan
Meeting Date:	January 23, 2007
Recommendation:	The Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Board made the following recommendations:

• The Plan should address opportunities for guerilla art (for example ad-hoc gardening, informal landscaping of neglected public corners of town).
• The definition of public art should include work by architects, landscape architects and urban designers to make buildings and spaces more beautiful. The definition of artist should include architects, landscape architects and urban designers.
• Focus on functional art where possible for example in Tucson old bicycle parts are used as bicycle racks.
• Make functional structures artistic, such as hand rails and guard rails.
• Use art as a memorial, for example the ghost bikes in NYC marking the location of a bicyclist’s death
• Locate art at places where people are stopped, for example at transit stops
• Provide informational art, about how to get around
• Provide art as a series, for example along a greenway
• Investigate the Radio Towers at E. Franklin Street off the Booker Creek greenway trail as an opportunity for art
• Stay with current ordinance requirement of 1% for public art in capital improvements
