Bus-shelter sculpture gets new downtown home

YOUNGSTOWN — After a number of false starts, a downtown bus-shelter sculpture has finally found a new home — in front of International Towers.

The city’s Design Review Committee today approved the location on Market Street, near the corner of East Boardman Street.

The committee last month overturned its vote from June approving the location of the sculpture made from a shipping container and steel at the corner of Wick Avenue and West Federal Street.

The committee approved the design in February, but rejected the bus-shelter sculpture’s original location on Market Street in front of the Mahoning County Courthouse.

Committee members said the shelter would take up too much of the sidewalk possibly making it more congested for people walking in that area.
