It was fun, and it became iconic in a fairly short time. This piece can't be compared, it almost has a pastel feeling to it as opposed to the crisp and clear message of it's predecessor.
We have some great artists in this town. But what do we get? This junk. Especially the color bars on the side of the pharmacy. That really hits a wall.
People are going to be critical no matter what art they put up. We all have different taste and even a masterpiece wouldn't be enough to satisfy some people. You just have to let people vent and move on.
If you are referring to the parklets, what you see is what there is. There's a section for Smith between Monteith & Gloucester Sts., then there are four more sections between Wellesley & Alexander Sts. Hopefully these help businesses on Church St. and that there is positive feedback from residents and visitors so that they bring them back in summers to come.
I like the Parklettes. They need some fine tuning for next year. I don't like the fact that they are sometimes just a haven for smokers from the bars. (Sorry smokers)
I asked Councillor Wong-Tam, the plan is to disassemble the parklets in October, store them and reuse them next year. Presumably this is contingent on the BIA being happy with how they perform and Council passing the Motion to close off that lane again for half a year.
