Asphalt not aesthetic
Mon, 10/12/2009
I am a long-time resident of Burien.
In the past, and recently, the city planners have made some changes in giving Burien a positive facelift.
However, since the "Art Walk" on 152nd SW is within the city proper, I think the Burien city officials should have taken some responsibility in the selection and plan for an outdoor art facility.
I struggle to see a correlating theme or the aesthetic value in the "Art Walk" display. The artistic value is there, but the aesthetic value in the display is confusing.
Piles of broken asphalt and other items scattered about loses much of its meaning in the sense of appeal.
I find little value in being reminded of the asphalt jungle we all share in a broken state.
