when they move, it triggers a fountain at the bottom level, so that the shape of the bus and water will move from one end of the park. you can imagine, kids are absolutely going to love this. it is accessible fountain that one can play in, if you choose to. obviously, safety considerations are being woven into the design. we think this will be one of the most interesting and talked about aspects of the design. ned has done several full-scale mockups to make sure it works. he has tested it with vehicles. it will be enormous and totally unique to san francisco and the transit center project. finally, we are working with the los angeles artist born in the bay area, tim hawkinson, one of the most important contemporary artists today. his idea was to create a giant welcoming sculpture made of the rubble and debris of the demolished former transit center. we have very carefully called 40 pieces of concrete with our contractors so that they can be reassembled as a 40-foot high structure welcoming people to the transit center. finally, of view of the transit center from the air and from neighbo
