I feel that they are trying to use the "Scotty method" even though they are already late.
I worked with/as a Prime Consultant as a Contract Admin/PM. We had projects that were early, on-time and late... and occasionally quite behind, but all of them shared one thing... a schedule and target completion. Even when this shifted it was communicated to the owner, stakeholders and the public (updated site signs) in most cases.Why can’t they put a date to completion? Without a target how can you possibly hit it? Their lack of commitment is infuriating.
I wonder if community residents had a say in what type/theme for public art was selected for each stop. I could see Strathearn residents wanting a 'nature' theme for their stop, for instance.Must say I'm disappointed by a lot of the public art on this lines. Instead of having photoshopped pictures of wildlife they should have had street art by local artists. With bright colors and geometric shapes, an artist that comes to mind is Jason Carter. I think that type of art and display would add a lot more to the streetscape.
Precisely, and there are ways to appreciate our history and culture through visually interesting, thought provoking art. Not to be a pretentious art snob but in that piece of the deer in what appears to be Whitemud Ravine the composition is way off the bend in the valley placed directly in the middle and if you placed a grid over the image the deer itself would be positioned on a quarter of the image, completely disregarding the rule of thirds which is one of the most basic elements of compostion in painting and photography.If the stop next to my house on the west LRT gets art like this....I'm moving. So disappointing. I get that we want to point to our prairies, nature, history... but good design should be paramount. This is the art I expect in my grandparents house...
