On November 2, 2009, the San Francisco Arts Commission approved the artist team REBAR’s design for the new public art project that will be installed as part of the Leland Avenue Streetscape Improvement Project. Scheduled for completion by early summer 2010, Street Life is a playful sculpture made from recycled parking meter heads attached to 18-foot arching, steel poles. The cluster of parking meters was designed to appear as if it had grown to a whimsically tall height and is intended to remind the viewer of swaying grain or other organic forms.
