The Committee generally agreed with the Visual Arts Committee’s decisions and expressed support for the
Ribbons pattern. They enjoyed the utilization of City colors in the street treatment options, although they
expressed hesitation about the City logo appearing in too many locations throughout Downtown. They would
like to see more surface area coverage with the Ribbons pattern. The Committee requested lifecycle costs
