On Dec. 4, Jarrett Mullen, El Cerrito’s sustainable transportation program manager, gave a presentation to the city’s Arts and Culture Commission, which proposed a public art project linked to new bike parking corrals. The proposed art program would integrate work by local artists into on-street bike parking facilities, in order to help the city to achieve its overlapping goals of placemaking, increased access to public art, improved sustainability, expanded business access options for customers and employees, and leveraging of transportation resources.
“The commission essentially directed staff to develop a ‘call for artists’ process for pavement artwork that we could package with on-street bike corrals. This is something staff will be working on in 2024!” Mullen noted.
