I think you brought up some interesting points, however, the big blue circle discussion needs to die.
It is my understanding no one is annoyed that we have a 1% capital project cost which goes to art, people are just annoyed at the fact we have an expensive, ugly, badly located piece of art (yes art is subjective, but it's ugly) we as tax payers paid for.
If that is the case, I was told that this type of art is selected by a committee, of which Nenshi doesn't control, so it really isn't in his scope. Let the circle discussion die please!
Someone with more understanding of civic processes can't confirm if the above is true I am sure.
