DEPARTMENTAL AND CITY MANAGER REPORTS:
54 14. AB #15.001- I-5 CORRIDOR LANDSCAPE MASTER PLAN.
Brad Lewis of KTU+A, Project Manager, gave an overview of the Plan.
Mayor Lewis stated he thought the purpose of the Plan was to deal only with landscaping, not sculptures
and artwork. He expressed his objection to placing artwork along the freeway corridor, in that they
would be a distraction for motorists and therefore could be a safety hazard.
Kim Welshons, 2121 Placid0 Court, Car&bad, Chairperson of the I-5 Corridor Landscape Committee,
suggested some possible funding sources, and recommended the City Manager designate a department to
be responsible to watch for funding. Ms. Welshons also stated the artwork would be an embellishment,
and the first priority would be the vegetation landscaping and irrigation.
Council Member Finnila expressed concern about the artwork noting the Highway Patrol have said that
nothing can be on overpasses that would distract motorists. She expressed a preference for restricting the
plan to only landscaping.
Mayor Pro Tern Hall expressed the need to focus on landscaping. He stated if the artwork is part of a
project, the city should be real specific regarding the costs. He also expressed concern about the
placement of the artwork.
Mayor Lewis stated that his vote will be on the conceptual idea of the corridor landscaping, only.
