Are you proposing something similar for Aurora

The link was sent to me ,I assume in response to the question I did not ask at the phoney baloney
election  of a candidate to fill the vacant seat.

I am amazed and  certainly impressed with the sculptures in various cities around the world.

Would I like to see something like that in Aurora? Without a doubt?

Is it a practical suggestion? I wish I knew.  I do think it's a good topic of conversation.

A policy has a been adopted for a percentage of funding  to pay for public art.

How much would something like that cost. Who would decide it is art and not a huge  unfunny joke perpetrated against us local yokels.

Is there support in the community  for something like that? Can that be determined without spending an arm and a leg to find out but not really?

If we think $27 million dollars is. reasonable to pay for  a garage and works yard, what would a
spectacular,  world attraction in public art be worth?

Could we afford it?

When my grandchildren were little we  went to the Village of  Clairmont  in Uxbridge I think at Hallowe'en.

Imagination was the only limit to amazing depictions of scary scenes on residents lawns and roofs and verandahs on old and modern homes.

It was a terrific outing.

We went again but it wasn't there any more.

I imagine  a single resident or group had made it happen and they got tired
.
I think, as I am writing, if we wanted to draw attention. to  ourselves ,it would be a fail safe way of s
doing it.

The big question would be cost / returns.
