Public art meeting with artist for Floresta roundabout
Public Works is overseeing the construction of the Floresta Drive Improvement Project Phase 2, which is nearing completion. As part of this project, an oval-about was constructed near Floresta Elementary School. In collaboration with Planning and Zoning, Public Works identified an opportunity to incorporate art into the oval-about. Floresta Elementary, home to the Dolphins, is the inspiration behind the artwork as the City aimed to create a beautiful feature for the area and the community.
A call for artists was made, and Peter Busby was chosen for his dolphin design. Bethany Grubbs from Planning and Zoning and Thomas Salvador from Public Works collaborated with the artist to discuss the installation and timeline. The new artwork is expected to be installed in the summer.
