It seems that integrating Art with an interchange outside of the glenmore fish is quite difficult.
Most interchange art is designed to be subtle. i.e.: the granite "Garrison Woods" sign and maple leaf engraving on the new Flanders Avenue bridge.

For some stupid reason though, City Council is fascinated with making ostentatious garbage the first thing visitors see when they enter our city. Though my appreciation for the blue circle is greater today than it was yesterday. It may be a stupid waste of money, but at least it isn't just left over rusted girders.
