Sneak preview attracts 300 to Vancouver Land Bridge
November 17, 2007
Three hundred Vancouver-area residents turned out on a drizzly Friday afternoon, November 16, 2007, for their first steps on the Vancouver Land Bridge. “This bridge is an icon in our community,” Vancouver Mayor Royce Pollard said in a front-page story in The Columbian.
Three artists involved in the project were on hand to talk informally about their concepts: Johnpaul Jones, lead architect and designer for the Vancouver Land Bridge and Interpretive Trail; René Senos, a key contributor to the native landscape architecture and design; Lillian Pitt, Pacific Northwest Native American artist whose work at the site includes the Welcome Gate and Sculpture Baskets. Another artist contributing to the site is Peter Attila Andrusko, a master artisan who is creating a 400-pound stone circle.
The bridge is again closed while further work is completed. It will be fully accessible and a dedication is expected to be held in mid-2008. Watch for more information in coming months.
