Project Name: Northern Gateway <br />Location: Southeast corner of Main Street and Vervais <br />Summary Description: There is significant interest in reinforcing the idea of downtown as a distinct <br />area, through identification of entries and gateways at the northern and southern edges of Main Street. <br />The Main Street Bridge already serves as a de-facto gateway and point of arrival and/or departure. At <br />this location, the Arroyo and the bridge serve as a boundary and avisual/physical experience for all <br />coming into and leaving downtown. The Master Plan for the Downtown Parks and Trails System <br />recommends "the bridge should be a major entry gateway to the downtown area." While there are some <br />opportunities for the bridge to accommodate public art, another possibility is the setback between Del <br />Valle Parkway and the fence, where a small brick pad already is in place. This site is well placed for a <br />sculpture of medium scale that would be visible to pedestrians and those riding in vehicles. <br />19 <br />Type of Project: Sculpture <br />
