REDWOOD CITY EL CAMINO REAL CORRIDOR PLAN <br />SECTION 4.2 <br />PUBLIC ART <br />CONTEXT <br />Public art creates memorable places, injecting liveliness, <br />character, and vitality into communities. In Redwood City, <br />public art is funded, in part, by the Art in Public Places fund. <br />In addition, new commercial development projects over <br />50,000 square feet must provide publicly visible art on-site <br />that is equal in value to at least 1 % of the project's con- <br />struction valuation or pay an in -lieu fee. <br />WHY PROMOTE PUBLIC ART ALONG <br />THE CORRIDOR? <br />Installing public art along EI Camino Real would help create <br />special places and establish the Corridor's identity. Public art <br />pieces could foster conversation among community mem- <br />bers and promote walking and bicycling. Additionally, it <br />shows the City's commitment to and investment in an area, <br />which encourages merchants, property owners, and private <br />developers to do the same. <br />s <br />q� <br />Public art, especially that which is interactive, makes a place memorable and engaging. <br />56 <br />00 <br />v, <br />
