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.
