Laurie Lundquist: Rio Salado Bike Path, 1994-99

Rio Salado Parkway between Mill and Rural Rd.
Tempe, Arizona

 

Art is integral to the layout and design of the mile long path, but, is most noticeably present in the form of imprints and tiles embedded in the concrete. As a member of the Moore/Swick design team the artist developed a series of images of the native and endangered species that inhabited the area before the Roosevelt dam changed the ecology of the Salt River basin.
