Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

There are 3 outcomes we can expect to see right away. One is the installation of the work itself, and seeing how that visually impacts this space, and the corridor itself. The second is the public build participating in 2 community art building events. The 3rd is the establishment of a new landmark and stopping point along the pedestrian corridor.; Access ; Learning ; Community The first outcome will be self-evident-- the installation being completed. We will be able to document participation in the build events through photos and video we will use to promote future activities and our work in general. We can be measure whether the installation is being visited anecdotally via online posts/comments, and can observe pedestrian reaction in person in the weeks following the initial installation by monitoring the site at different times of day.
