Woodward booster group proposes art pillars to lure visitors
A Woodward corridor booster group is seeking funding to construct a
series of 10- to 30-foot decorative pillars, called tributes, erected
in the road’s median or beside the highway — perhaps one every mile or
so — displaying different images that evoke the area’s history, from
cars to Motown music.

According to the story:
The pillars would cost from $100,000 to $125,000 each. The string of
glittering tributes, dramatically back-lit at night, would help make
Woodward a world-class tourist destination, especially for auto buffs,
says Heather Carmona, who is executive director of the Woodward Avenue
Action Association.
