A seamless synthesis of art, urban design and infrastructure, it is a visual metaphor for where the city meets the bay. The Ribbon is a linear sculpture consisting of a five foot wide band of light grey concrete bisected by a continuous line of solid glass block, illuminated at night by a fiber optic lighting system. At various points, the ribbon rises in elevation to become benches, bollards or low walls as well as flush with the surrounding pavement to allow vehicular access.
