The ...Is this revised ordinance a good or bad move? The city of Roeland Park has previously required a company to include placement of its public art on the property no matter how potentially unattractive or unsuitable the art choices. Required? Now they can opt-out. <br />It's no wonder Aldi wants to retain control of the appearance of their project. And, they should. Letting companies buy their way out of this requirement is a solution but, to me, still smacks of an unsavory choice. <br />"Now you can choose to pay money or we'll put butt-ugly art on your property" <br />If, as the article states, this opt-out policy results in no public art anywhere in the city perhaps the art committee might think harder about their future art choices. Is this a new yet questionable approach to generating city revenue?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
