Evaluation of Installations
Concern for public safety & potential City liability
• Slick material becomes slippery in damp or wet
weather
• Potential trip & fall hazard to pedestrians
• Jagged tile edges installed on curbs prone to break
off due to car tires and cause damage
• Anti-slip sealants not suitable for tile in high-
temperature and high-traffic areas; would require
frequent re-application & maintenance for
effectiveness; otherwise exposes City to liability

Alternative Means of Expression

Cultural Affairs Division
> Opportunity for local artists to showcase
their art in public spaces
> Platforms include street medians, parks,
and public facilities
> Encourages public dialogue,
understanding & enjoyment of public art
