4.1 Idea 1: Wondering to the Water

Lake Dora is somewhat disconnected from the center of activity at 4th and Donnelly. Though 4th Avenue runs down to the waterfront (and is a pedestrian only street for a portion of its length) there remains a lack of a specific draw between the core of Downtown and the lakefront. By creating public art that runs down to the lakeside as well as directly at the lakeside pedestrians can be encouraged to interact with the lake.

Example 1: On street “Waterway” mural that follows the stormwater as it runs along the curbside to the lake

Example 2: Prominent public art feature where the sidewalk runs from 4th Avenue to the boat dock

Example 3: Temporary artworks that are installed in any medians that run along 4th Avenue
