Now instead of drunk drivers hitting a concert fountain, they can drive their pickups OVER the water jets but can't see what's on the other side.  Safer.

Also, no way bums, kids, or drunks decide to play in the street.

Fountain is gone within 2 years.

some idiot is crashing into a house or building on a weekly basis around here.
would this have been safer if he could have seen what was on the other side?

Noticed the other day that someone had run over one of the new blue light poles in front of the Warehouse Market.  Then someone else ran over one of the bollards on Peoria.  What is it with people in this town?

I think it is a big bidet.

I shall call the area "Bidet Square" from now on.

I am sure that has nothing to do with your feelings towards the namesake.

I don't know why you would say that.

I bear no ill feelings to anyone named Bartlett. The Mayor has been very kind to me and supportive of my employer. I have never spoke poorly of him on this forum.

Current update.   the animated LED ribbon around the base of the fountain is doing its blinkenlight thing now.
Completely detracts from any middle of the street fountain aesthetic.
It's some sort of fountain/undercarriage-wash/orange-barrel hybrid thing.

There were traffic barricades up around the fountain on Saturday. Did someone hit it already?
