My favourite name for it thus far is "bloop". Aesthetically, the ring doesn't bother me so much as the lights on top.

This is a problem with how the public art program functions vis-à-vis who is funding the infrastructure project - if it's city funded the policy allows funds to be pooled and placement of art can happen where it will have a greater public benefit - like a park or something. If it's provincial funds, they require the art component to be attached to the actual infrastructure project.
