Concrete designs and resurfacing are one of the hot new trends for concrete patios, concrete floors, entryways, countertops, pool decks and more. From expansive new homes with elaborate concrete driveways to budgeted one-room remodels showcasing a stunning, stained concrete floor, the attraction is continuing to grow when it comes to using concrete for decorating. Concrete is no longer plain, grey and boring, it is now thought of as a beautiful decorative element.
Building on the City of Cambridge’s continuing mission to create a more playful public realm, the City along with Cambridge Arts commissioned New York-based artist team of Chat Travieso and Yeju Choi to create a distinctive public-art project for a shared bicycle/pedestrian path that aims to ease traffic and transform a utilitarian path into a striking public space that integrates play for all ages. As part of the Alewife sewer-separation Project led by Public Works, Fern Street was selected as a safe-passage to nearby Danehy Park and surrounding neighborhoods.
