Description: Traffic of Ideas acts as a landmark and sits atop an existing steel gateway at the University Heights Community Center. It consists of 21 oversized cast bronze books, some open and some closed, and about 80 bronze pages that appear to be in the process of blowing toward the nearby intersection. The community raised funds to sponsor a portion of the project.
