I think my city (and likely others) have rule where a portion of public projects must have a percentage of the funds spent on artwork.
So, a bridge might have artwork design on the separator wall, for instance.
I'm wondering if this is the bureaucratic solution to the requirement - the artist didn't consult with the traffic engineer on the design, perhaps.
Agreed, and I can agree with allocating a certain percentage of the budget to "beautification" projects, but a little common sense goes a
LONG way.
Maybe there needs to be language requiring both the artist and the traffic engineer to work together. And there should be a limit as to how tall something in the center of a roundabout can be.
