In Brightmoor, where bus traffic is limited and less than 50 percent of residents have access to an automobile, a growing effort to promote bicycling is taking an artistic turn.
The Detroit Youth Energy Squad (D-YES) is coordinating the Brightmoor BikeWay, an interactive art and civic engagement project to celebrate two-wheeled transit -- and they're looking for welders, sculptors and metal-workers to design their own work for the pocket park, which is located along the Lyndon Greenway. Accepted artists will work directly with local youth to design, build and install the bike-themed sculptures out of recycled materials.
