But is it art???

No. Blight. Definitely blight. Or else there'd be a plaque denoting art, right? I think that's how it works...

We need to do this plaque then:

Wait, but is it a spoon?

maybe it's a pipe

How long does a bike-locked-to-a-sign have to sit and marinate in order to be considered "blight" instead of "art and/or functional"? We have a similar situation, sadly with two wheels and only one bike, on Willow Street. Said bike/art installation has only been on exhibit for about five months or so with no movement. Last winter it was locked to the same sign throughout the plowing season and was barely visible through most of February.

Well, that's a great question NewAroundHere. Unfortunately, we are working through some details on legal opinions on which department is able to do this sort of work by statute. Thank you to Alder Holmes for highlighting this void in responsibility -

The bicycle with the missing front wheel was removed on 12/3/14. We left the second bicycle for a period of time, as it was not missing any parts and wanted to at least give the owner a chance to remove it. This did not occur so the second bicycle was removed on 1/15/15.

@NewAroundHere; if you provide us with a location of those bikes on Willow, assuming they are still there of course, we will remove them.
