“Footbridge Over the Bioswale” is an artwork and functional footbridge that will cross over a 15-foot wide bioswale encircling Filmore Park. Cut and painted metal relief panels mounted to the sides of the footbridge will show images and text that bring attention to the park’s new features of water management. Neighborhood residents will be co-producers in the design process, participating in the creation of a visual narrative that builds deeper understanding about living with water. As a visual focal point, the footbridge will engage the themes of biodiversity, water management and environmental stewardship, while serving a functional purpose of protecting the bioswale from damage.
