Oakland and Latham Avenues
“For our tireless public works staff, orange has always been the new black.”
Patty Dunlap
Flash florista Patty Dunlap was inspired by the amount of hard work that is done by Nick Milosovich and the Piedmont Public Works team to keep our city safe and beautiful. She chose this location because Oakland Avenue is receiving a number of safety improvements this spring and summer, is one of the most trafficked streets in town, and also on a major bus line to downtown Oakland and San Francisco.
Highland Avenue bus stop
At the bus stop on Highland Ave between Sierra and Sheridan you’ll find an impromptu floral “photo” booth, fashioned like a throne and embellished with blooms. Crowns are provided — and a royal proclamation, signed by “Tom Foolery, Chairman of the Piedmont April Fools,” invites passersby to pause, snap a selfie and enjoy the scene while they await the Royal Bus. Installation by Patty Reed, Lisa Tuck and Jan Zovickian.
Carnations and ferns in decorative moss circles adorn the bus stop
