The two monumental sculptures are, on closer look, clusters of figures made of fiberglass, steel and bronze, that symbolize the city, its people and its activities. The figure on the Addison Street side personifies the urban and cultural experience of Berkeley, including the University of California’s campanile, a violinist, a scientist, an activist, and a wheelchair-user. The figure on the Marina side represents recreation and nature, including bird watchers, kite flyers and a dog catching a Frisbee. Smaller images near the sculptures provide close-up views to thousands of pedestrians and bicyclists who use the bridge.
The sculptures were created by Emeryville sculptor Scott Donahue.
