The Houston Bikeway System is a comprehensive expansion of Houston’s
network of bicycle paths. Artist participation was in two main areas.
Bridge Railing design: The artist team developed a rolling wave pattern
for the retaining walls and railings of a series of bayou bridges, with
the wavy railings of steel, and the retaining walls of precast concrete
with a low-relief pattern of leaves. Signage: The artist team developed
a system logo, trail maps, trail markers, street identifiers, mile markers,
and a standard flood gauge.

The Wayfinding project is composed of a unified system
of automotive and pedestrian signage, designed to identify downtown
services and facilities, and direct visitors to them. The back side
of each sign serves as a “canvas” for artwork by the selected
artists.
