It's a nice idea, but is anyone else baffled as to why they (whomever is responsible for this project) might think that someone might actually be walking on Washington Street in this area? The capitol mall has been a deadzone for 60-70 years. A few trees are a start, but I'd much rather see this installation in a singular place where people might actually go to see it (Wesley Bolin or the Civic Space Park). Truthfully, until there's some sort of link between the capitol building grounds and downtown (let's say...a train?) and at least something of value to see / patronize near the capitol, it's going to remain disparate.
