Have you actually seen this piece in person? I saw it last week not knowing it was art and I thought it was construction guys screwing around. The problem with this is that when you drive by it (which is how everyone is actually going to view it) it doesn't convey any of that. So while those elements might be great somewhere where people walk up and read a sign, to a motorist on a busy highway it's just clutter.
And no, I have no desire to impress visitors with my knowledge of a half million dollar boondoggle, other than to point out how frivolous we are with our public money.
