Sponsored by City of Wichita
The 25th Street Bridge is over 2,000' long crossing the
Arkansas River Flood Plain. This project connects East and West Wichita
providing increased access to new neighborhoods and continuity with
greenways, bicycle paths and trails. On the West Side the project features
a green gateway marked with linear bands of trees reflecting agricultural
fields and windscreens. On the East Side the project features an urban
gateway marked with Windside Wind Turbines generating their own
illumination from the wind. The wind theme is interpreted in several
ways: curved balconies with fin wall, curved railings, and at the gateways
with tree windscreens and wind turbines. Vicki Scuri Siteworks and Mark
Spitzer Designs provided a conceptual art and urban design plan for the
project. They collaborated with the Team in the implementation of all
elements.
