Artwork Mounted to Overpass (Chicago)
Enhance underpasses formed by the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway and the Manhattan and Brooklyn bridges to create gateways between neighborhoods. Artwork and signage could be mounted on the face of the structures to announce transitions between neighborhoods. Providing better lighting in the underpasses would make them safer and could be done in a creative way that would highlight the aesthetic qualities of the structure.
