Board approves temporary Route 66 Centennial art exhibit for city parks
Summary
A Route 66 Centennial Committee member asked to place eight temporary painted panels in city parks to mark the centennial. The board approved the request and discussed materials and signage; River City Signs will supply ACM panels, and installations will use driven fence posts with no cement.
The City of Pacific Park Park Board approved a request from the Route 66 Centennial Committee on May 11 to temporarily install an outdoor art exhibit in city parks as part of centennial celebrations.
A committee member described plans for eight two-foot painted panels with red, white and blue themes to travel to locations such as Liberty Field and Jensen Point. The panels will be made of aluminum composite material (ACM), painted with exterior latex paint, and mounted on temporary fence posts driven into the ground so they can be removed after events. The committee said River City Signs in Washington will provide the panel material.
Board members asked about signage to explain the exhibit and suggested social-media hashtags to promote the displays as local destinations. After questions about materials and mounting, Jeanne moved to allow Deanna and the Route 66 committee to install the temporary exhibits in city parks; the motion was seconded and the board approved the request by voice vote.
The committee emphasized that the installations are temporary and designed to avoid permanent impacts to park facilities.
