Bowfort Debacle?

I was driving under the interchange at Canada Olympic Park, and swore I saw some steel columns that were being held down by some precariously balanced stone slabs. Turns out this was the latest public art display. Before people lose their minds and blamed counsel forSpending dollars in tough economic times, remember this is policy that was set long ago. A lot of people don't care, they just want somebody to blame. Which is sad that stupidity informs bad decisions. Does the artwork and the money that goes into public art need to be readdressed? Yes, I think so, but you don't just wait a magic wand and suddenly get your money back. And can we at least agree it's not as bad as the blue ring?
