Dear Mr. Odio:
,on behalf of the Metro -Dade Art In Public Places Trust, I respectfully request a
personal appearance before the City of Miami Commission on their next available
agenda of July 13, 1995. The purpose of my request is to present to the
commission plans for a unique landmark structure planned for the Riverwalk
station of the Metromover system. The project, by Miami -based artists Rosario
Marquardt and Roberto Behar, will create a gateway titled "Red .M" which seeks
to bridge the monumental scale of the station with the human scale of the
pedestrian entranceway. -
The gateway "Red M" represents Metromover and Miami and will become an
urban triumphal arch. It echoes historical Metro entrances re -interpreted in
modern terms and expressed In the bold colors of our tropical environment.
Attached is published information on the project.- I look forward to.presenting the
project to the commission and to the realization of the 'Red M" for our community.
