This particular bridge is about much more than just getting from here to there. As you walk across it, you are surrounded by art.
There are more than 800 pieces of public art in the city of San Diego, and hundreds more across the rest of San Diego County. The region received more than $10 million in state and federal grants for public art in the last five years.Bridges are usually utilitarian creations that allow us to cross from one place to another, and the Vermont Street Bridge is no exception. It allows people to cross back and forth between Hillcrest and University Heights in San Diego.
Gill's quote is anything but whimsical: “What idle or significant sentence will we write with brick and stone, wood, steel and concrete upon the sensitive page of the earth?”Pedestrians crossing the bridge can take in art on both sides, and also under foot. The floor of the bridge has twirling shapes etched into the concrete.
“There are at least seven that we used on the bridge, different definitions of ‘bridge,’ everything from a card game to the wooden piece in the middle of a wooden, stringed instrument," Susholtz said.
