The Blue Line has returned to normal operations following maintenance work near Old Concord, Tom Hunter, UCB, McCullough and J.W. Clay stations. Thank you to our riders for your patience during this time.
2006 Chandra Cox weaves inspirational symbols and patterns into the design of the community transit center, integrating art into the passenger shelters, sidewalk pavement, and comfort station. Six Adinkra symbols sandblasted in the sidewalk pavement with corresponding pronunciations and meanings represent African proverbs originating from Ghana. Text phrases appear in the glass of the facility’s six passenger shelters: essence of life, grace, faithfulness, heritage, history, and resistance. The comfort station features 1” square mosaic tiles over concrete, introducing a tri-colored geometric arrangement of shapes and angles to the building’s façade.
2006 Using swirling, colorful pathways, Elizabeth Indianos enlivens the plaza at Eastland Community Transit Center with her concrete paving design. The artist worked with the Eastland project team and community representatives to create a design focus for the facility that reflects a place of diverse cultures. Her contributions instill a sense of vitality and playfulness into the facility. The project includes passenger shelters, a landscaped open-air plaza, driver’s comfort station, pedestrian pathways, and passenger information.
2004 The artist’s two corrugated wall pieces create holographic bi-chromatic color changes. Each 11’ by 7’ colorful composition features abstract shapes individually hung creating a puzzle-like image. Installed on opposite walls in the passenger waiting area, the art presents numerous chromatic shifts representing a movement of both color and people.
