4 Street SW Underpass - Calgary

The entire thing is going to be sortof a dynamic video screen. The lights will travel with the pedestrians as they walk through the space, along with motivational messages. The west side LEDs have been installed, but last I saw, the east side hadn't been yet. Work is mostly complete, but work on the video screens has been stopped likely because of the last couple weeks of extreme cold.

The stationary text on the east side of the underpass (viewable from the west side only) reads "The people who move through the streets are all strangers. At each encounter, they imagine a thousand things about one another; meetings which could take place between them, Conversations, Surprises, Caresses..." and continues as a story. Very cool.

Here are the schematics... http://www.calgary.ca/PDA/pd/Documen...n%20Report.PDF
