Apparently, there would be a $15,000 shipping charge and then maybe maintenance costs. Do we not think there will be maintenance costs associated with the Dreistl Fountain? In fact, there should be insurance on the fountain in case of vandalism.

The Arts Commission is too literate as well. Are gates art? Well, maybe not, but I appreciate the fencing on the Broadway Bridge in comparison to the Huron River bridge. I could imagine these gates put to use at one of our larger parks. I do see a potential headache with the crosses, although I’m not offended by all the church-based art I see in older European cities.
