Maryland Parkway Public Art Strategic Plan
The Maryland Parkway Public Art Urban Design Plan was introduced in 2016 by Craig Palacios and Tina Wichmann of BunnyFish Studio to create a public art master plan overlay for the Maryland Parkway Corridor. In 2021, the Maryland Parkway Corridor Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Plan was accepted by the Board of County Commissioners. The Plan is to complement the Bus Rapid transit (BRT) line that was planned for the Maryland Parkway Corridor.
Through collaborations between Clark County Parks & Recreation, University of Nevada Las Vegas, City of Las Vegas, Urban Land Institute Nevada, National Endowment for the Arts, Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada, Maryland Parkway Coalition, Metro Arts Council, Public Education Foundation, and Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, this project has been progressing.
According to the University Road Focus Area Plan published in July 2021, opportunities for
public art are included in focus areas, and particularly near transit stations, to cultivate a unique send of place and community pride. Art installations in this area could help connect the campus to the neighborhood, pay homage to the University and the history of the area, act as a gateway to the campus, and provide a visual amenity to both students and nearby residents in an area with a high volume of foot traffic.
