Nothing really site specific, I just wanted to hover a couple of waste receptacles over a planting bed in order to protect the groundspace to grow a nice tree. Incorporated into the trash stand is parking for bicycles which I would love to see more of downtown. Not a super sexy solution but it offers a place for garbage, recyclables, creates some shade and greenery and parking for cyclists (pedestrian level traffic).

I think I know who the chucklehead* is that wanted the trees along E12th removed and I even think I am aware of his "fantastic" reasoning. While I totally disagree that angled parking will be more convenient especially with all the bus traffic along the street blocking in the cars, I will admit that it does take a special sort of person to destroy one of the few decent boulevards downtown. I call this piece "Fantastic Trash" or "a blight upon the city".

What better way to fit into all the demolition and construction along Euclid then with the violated hulk of an automobile's remains? Placed within are 4 containers so that the conscious passerby can sort their waste for speedy and efficient handling.
