BACKGROUND:
In 2012, the Downtown Naperville Alliance (DNA) began the annual holiday sculpture program. The program allowed local organizations an opportunity to sponsor and decorate sculptures that were featured throughout the holiday season in the downtown. After several years of holiday-themed displays, the DNA found options were limited and transitioned to a summer sculpture program in 2015.
DISCUSSION:
The DNA is requesting a 2018 display schedule from June 9, 2018 to mid-September. The theme for this year will be hearts. Photographs and dimensions of the heart sculpture are attached for your reference. Given the recent discussions regarding sidewalk width and amenity zones, DPW and TED staff have walked the route of the proposed locations, reviewed sculpture dimensions and impact on sidewalks, and are approving the sculpture program as presented. A map depicting the proposed locations is provided for your review.
