DESCRIPTION: One of the high priority City Council goals for 2000-2001 was to
"Complete Public Art / Bus Shelter Project in downtown Dublin". The project provides for the
replacement of three bus shelters over two fiscal years.
At the November 5, 2002 City Council meeting the Council approved the conceptual design of the bus
shelters by artist Dan Dykes. At that meeting there were a number of options discussed for the bus shelter
final design. These included the perforated screen panel at the end of the bus shelter, the tile for the bench
seats within the shelter and the open disk on the central column of the shelter.
Design A:
· The perforated stainless steel screen at the end of the shelter is also covered on the inside of the
shelter with an acrylic panel for added protection.
· The bench files are ceramic (sample will be provided at meeting). The disadvantage of the
ceramic files is that if they chip they will need to be repaired for aesthetic purposes.
· The open disk on the central column will remain clear sky space.
Design B: · The perforated stainless steel screen for wind protection will not have an acrylic panel.
· The bench tiles are a muted green slate (sample will be provided at meeting). The advantage of the
natural stone is that if it chips it will be unnoticeable and will not require repair.
· The open disk on the central column will have an acrylic panel etched with the simple clover of
the City seal. This will allow light to still shine through the disk.
It is the recommendation of Staff that the City Council receive the presentation from Staff and the Artist'
and approve the final design A or final design B for fabrication.
