A suspension of parking regulations and fees is being sought for an interactive art installment, called “blockuppied,” that will be created on Kellogg Avenue at the city council meeting tonight.

The installation, created by ISU students, will feature outdoor furniture in the parking spot and aims to provide an interactive outdoor space for the public to use.

The furniture, which would be created from recycled materials, in the installation would be movable and pedestrians will be encouraged to rearrange the furnishings as part of the engaging art project.

The outdoor art will be in place April 24-27. It will be open to visitors for nine hours a day during that time period. The installation will occupy one parking spot and will offer handicap access through a curb ramp.

Volunteers will monitor the space at all times. Business owners from the downtown district, such as Amy Abrams, owner of Duck Worth Wearing and The Loft, endorse the project.

A staff report on options for increasing safety for bicyclists in Campustown in order to reduce vehicle-cyclist collisions will be heard, as well. The staff conducted surveys and spoke with members of the Campustown Action Association in order to establish a background on bicycling activities in the district.

The information gleaned from these discussions, as well as other research, will be considered in the 11 proposals for improving conditions for bicyclists. The proposed solutions include adding bicycle lanes and installing bike detection sensors at the intersections on Lincoln Way.

The council will also consider approving the request for a beer and outdoor service permit by Zylstra Harley Davidson. Renewal of beer, wine and liquor licenses for Perfect Games and the Great Plains Sauce & Dough Company will be presented for approval.
