Department:	Parks & Recreation
Pillars:	Optimize the Addison Brand
Milestones:	Continue development and implementation of the Long-Term Financial Plan

AGENDA CAPTION:

Present, discuss, and consider action on a Resolution approving the installation of a public art piece created by artist David B. Hickman to be located within the Cotton Belt Trail Corridor.

BACKGROUND:

The Addison Arbor Foundation (AAF) is proposing to commission five kinetic bicycle sculptures, titled Team Illusion, created by artist David B. Hickman. The sculptures will be located within the Cotton Belt Trail corridor adjacent to the DART Silver Line that is currently under construction. The five bicycle sculptures will be slightly larger than life-size and will be placed on top of 12-14 foot tall poles that allow rotation with the wind. It is anticipated that the sculptures will be located near the entrance to the pedestrian bridge that will span Midway Road. The exact location will be finalized when the amenities for the Cotton Belt Trail are designed. AAF has the opportunity to purchase the sculptures from the artist prior to the completion of trail construction and staff has identified a location in which they can be stored until the site is ready for installation.

RECOMMENDATION:

Administration recommends approval.
