City to choose artist to design garage

Campbell Public Works employee Zarka Popovic says the city received "23 incredible submissions" from artists all over the United States interested in designing, fabricating and installing public art for the three-story civic garage that will be built on Campbell Avenue. The garage is scheduled for completion in July 2002. Popovic says the city narrowed the list down to four candidates and finished its interviews during the last week of August. The next step is to have the city council approve spending the money, approximately $40,000, to hire the chosen artist. The approval should come sometime in October or November, Popovic says.

A VTA spokesman said there is nothing new to report as far as developments with the proposed aerial bridge over Hamilton Avenue is concerned.
