During review of it’s the Commission Work Plan at the July 5th Meeting of the LCAC, a sub committee was formed to look into the opportunity of creating a Bike Rack Art Program. The sub-committee subsequently met and proposed creating as similar program to what was done by the City of Los Altos, <http://www.losaltosca.gov/publicartscommission/page/los-altos-bike-rack-design-competition>.
The after discussing with City staff the sub-committee has proposed that the Bike Rack location be located in the Depot Street Park (Attachment 1) site next to the playground, which is planned to be constructed and subsequently opened in the summer of 2017. An outline of the proposed program is included as Attachment 2.
