Discovering the embodiment of a particular place is an accumulative process, and an adventure. Winslow, now Bainbridge, is at a crucial juncture in defining itself. Is it to retain its self-reliant island sensibility, or is it to evolve into an extension of somewhere else—a bedroom community that debarking motorists rush through on their way to another destination?
What is an island community? Is it sustainable, resourceful, a place where the collective and the individual commingle? Are these notions now merely sentimental, or are they worthy of reviving as core values? The art plan must first define the philosophical armature of this place. Once that is determined, the answers to design questions will be revealed. How are trees selected? How are the trees planted? The selection of materials, the sources of materials and the manner in which gateway and public art projects are built all have an integral role in developing a place. Resourcefulness and sustainability as a cost- effective aesthetic is a real “feature” rather than an invented one.
The process of the evolution of a village is dynamic, ever- changing. Any plan needs to understand and accommodate these changes. The focus of the Master Plan will be on the journey onto the island, arrivals and departures, first impressions, differences, grace and relief from the mundane. Sustainability, scale, intimacy, self- reliance with a community orientation: this is the philosophy we are attempting to embody in the various parts of this plan.
Artists are instrumental in bringing meaning to places. This plan identifies opportunities on Bainbridge Island for making use of their gifts.
2 This public art master plan is commissioned by the Public Art Committee of the Bainbridge Island Arts & Humanities Council. The plan was developed in conjunction with the planning of the City of Bainbridge Island’s Downtown Winslow Gateway Advisory Committee, appointed by Darlene Kordonowy, Mayor.

6 The Character & History of the Project Area:
The Winslow area is the Island’s downtown, and its gateway to Seattle. Although other small commercial areas are scattered around the Island, Winslow Way is Bainbridge’s “Main Street”. The ferry from Seattle, the Eagle Harbor waterfront, modest-sized commercial buildings with small-town businesses and a deep, green Ravine cutting across the main road into town combine to 1872 Chart of Eagle Harbor make a unique place. Winslow, like the rest of Bainbridge —Courtesy of Gerry Elfendahl Island, is experiencing the stress of rapid population growth and a lively discussion on how to deal with it.
Use of this area has traditionally been focused on the waterfront. Duwamish and Suquamish people used the area extensively, and the Suquamish maintained a campsite at the mouth of the Ravine. What is now Winslow began in the late 19th century as “Hawley” and “Madrone” (named for a surveyor’s witness tree once located where Madison Avenue meets Eagle Harbor).
These two settlements, each with its own steamer dock, were located, respectively, east and west of “Canyon Shipyard in Eagle Harbor —Courtesy of Puget Sound Maritime Historical Society Creek” or “Winslow Creek”, now known as the Winslow Ravine. A wooden bridge on what is now Winslow Way joined them in the 1920s.

One of the two auto ferry docks a natural lagoon behind a sand spit beach which had been was located on Winslow’s waterfront, just east of the a site for Fourth of July Picnics. Madrone was renamed shipyard and the Ravine. Winslow until the 1940s “Winslow” after one of the brothers. The shipyard was remained relatively undeveloped, with a hotel and various famous for a marine railway which transported ships in businesses on the north side of Winslow Way, and a and out of the water. In 1916 Hall Brothers became the ballfield and a network of footpaths between Winslow Way Winslow Marine Railway & Shipbuilding Company, which and the waterfront. Some of the first buildings remain, continued until 1959. During World War II at the shipyard adjacent to the Ravine.

Winslow Way in the busy retail west of SR-305 and down Olympic Drive to the ferry section is visibly layered with the history of modest contrasting with a sterile, uniform new streetscape east of changes: old power poles and smaller posts that hang SR-305 to Ferncliff. The desire for preservation of angle flower baskets jostle trees heaving up roots in too-small parking and the need for wider sidewalks struggle with islands.

9 THE GATEWAY CONCEPTS
The Winslow area of Bainbridge Island possesses not one, but three, major entry points, each with its own distinctive features. The first and most profound is the transition from water to land, as ferry travelers first see the Island from the water, enter Eagle Harbor, and then disembark.
The second entryway is at the intersection of SR-305, which begins where the ferry ramp meets the shore, and Winslow Way, Bainbridge Island’s “Main Street”. At this point travelers speed on to other places, or turn left and enter Winslow.
The third entryway is the entrance to Winslow. Here the traveler from the ferry, having turned left onto Winslow
Way, crosses the Winslow Ravine, an undeveloped The Winslow ferry landing natural area surrounding a creek that empties into the salt water of Eagle Harbor.
The Island outside Winslow possesses a fourth major gateway on its north end: the Agate Pass bridge.
The experience of traveling through these gateways becomes an episodic journey. This gateway portion of the Master Art Plan looks at the opportunities and challenges offered by each of the four gateways in the sequence.
Enhance the visual appearance of the ferry terminal and city gateways. —The City of Bainbridge Island Comprehensive Plan, Cultural Element, item CUL 10.4, 1998.

10 Any part of a town—large or small—which is to be identified by its inhabitants as a precinct of some kind, will be reinforced, helped in its distinctness, marked, and made more vivid, if the paths which enter it are marked by gateways where they cross the boundary. —Christopher Alexander, Sara Ishikawa and Murray Silverstein, A Pattern Language.

11 GATEWAY I— EAGLE HARBOR ENTRY & THE FERRY TERMINAL:
The first and most potent gateway to Bainbridge Island is the transition from water to land. Ferry travelers from Seattle first see the Island from the water, enter Eagle Harbor, and then disembark in automobiles, on motorcycles, on bicycles and on foot. At present the identity of the place from the water is not reinforced with any signage or artwork. The ferry terminal is drab and confusing for the non-resident visitor, though good attempts have been made by the Bainbridge Island Chamber of Commerce and Bainbridge Island Arts & Humanities Council to enliven the terminal and orient the tourist. Entering Eagle Harbor
Many...mentioned the need for the improvement of the ferry terminal as the gateway to the Island and felt that the arts and in particular, public art, could be used to enhance the gateway. —The Bainbridge Island Cultural Plan, Goal 10. Public Art and Community Design.
Gateway I / Public Art Projects: In order to mark the most profound transition, from water to land, in cooperation with the U.S. Coast Guard and the Washington State Ferries:
1] Buoy: Place a bell buoy or other sound sculpture near the approach of the ferry into Eagle Harbor. The work of a sonic artist could create a sound quality which embodies a romance of the audible as well as the visual.

13 The current ferry terminal will be replaced. When it is, artists should be involved as members of design teams and as contractors from initial conception through completion. In the meantime, some opportunities are:
5] Walkway: Commission artwork and/or historic signs to be hung from the ceiling along the long covered walkway between ferry and terminal. Historian Gerry Elfendahl has suggested that replicas of the old signboards from the steamers that plied Eagle Harbor could become part of a more involved running text, hung along the walkway The walkway from ferry to terminal between ferry and terminal, and legible in both directions. (Steamers that did the Eagle Harbor run: Tolo, Alta, Eagle, Florence K., Bainbridge, Hyak, Manitou, F.G. Reeve, Narada. The shipyard tug was Skookum).
6] Terminal: Enhance interest in the ferry terminal building, by enlisting unused ticket booths for showcases and/or sites for temporary art installations. Pieces sited here should be considered temporary, constructed of durable materials and should respond to site-specific issues and the context. The ferry terminal waiting area
Two pedestrian choices An unused ticket booth
14 Winslow is a waterfront community. A good measure of its history and image has been tied to uses along the waterfront. Although types of uses along the waterfront have changed over the years, for the most part the community is still cut off from its primary amenity. —The Winslow Master Plan, p.11.
7] Beach: Provide shore access from the ferry area. Access to the beach here would give respite to travelers waiting for ferries. A beach trail linking to the existing shoreline access easement and the Ravine bridge would provide a pleasant route to Winslow without crossing Olympic Way. Adjacent to the dock is a natural access point to the beach for debarking passengers. The route possibilities into town along the waterfront need to be enhanced if the state ferry maintenance yard is Currently blocked beach access at the ferry terminal redeveloped—presently this facility interrupts the shore walk into town. Other nearby public beach access points could be developed to encourage low-tide exploration.
Beach access near the ferry, and especially to and from the ferry terminal, will need to be developed in tandem with the Washington State Ferries and the United States Coast Guard, since recent security issues have put pressure on both agencies to more tightly control access to ferry facilities. However, this situation should not preclude creative ways to keep Bainbridge Island’s waterfront access as plentiful as possible.
Provide, protect and enhance a public access system that is both physical and visual and which utilizes public and appropriate private lands and increases the amount and diversity of public access to the State’s shorelines. —The City of Bainbridge Island Shoreline Master Program.

To lay out paths, first place goals at natural points of interest. Then connect the goals to one another to form the paths. The paths may be straight, or gently curving between goals; their paving should swell around the goal. The goals should never be more than a few hundred feet apart. —Christopher Alexander, Sara Ishikawa and Murray Silverstein, A Pattern Language. Crosswalk lattice striping
Improving pedestrian navigation into Winslow is one of the biggest problems faced by the Gateway Project. One difficulty is that the Washington State Ferries and Kitsap Transit are phasing in ever-changing plans for the eventual complete rebuilding of the ferry terminal and its holding lots, bus loading, access roads and pedestrian walkways. In the meantime, some steps can be taken, but should be considered ephemeral and temporary. An artist Lattice “grass-crete”
16 8b] Olympic Drive: Engage artists on the design team for any future work on the Olympic Drive roadway, sidewalks, lighting and streetscape amenities. Commission an artist or artists to create works along the walkway, such as artist-designed railing along the sidewalk on the southwest side. One main goal of the work should be to draw attention to the way to Winslow.
8c] Ravine Trail: Secure a public easement when and if the Winslow Marine property (along the southwest side of Olympic Drive, adjacent to and just south of the Unocal property) is developed. Create a public trail from Olympic Drive at the corner of Harborview Drive, more directly to the existing pedestrian bridge across the lower Ravine. Engage an artist in the design of the trail. Clearly mark the A stile on a public pathway trail, coordinating the design of its entrance with the design of the sidewalk and railing in 8b] Olympic Drive, above. Also, more prominently mark the public access to the beach off Harborview Drive.
A note on trails and pathways: Gateway planning should support trails throughout Winslow, and help create an inventory of stiles, markers and maps. A city ordinance may be required to preserve these “desire lines” . Support plans for the continuation of the waterfront trail, by extending the dock further west and connecting the missing link between the foot of Madison Street and the public park. Artists can contribute interest in these opportunities through performances, temporary installations and events. Develop trails following the 1998 Winslow Master Plan, pp.31-34.
Identify high priority projects, such as the Waterfront Trail...and assure their completion. —COBI Non-Motorized World War II military gate, ferry terminal Trail at Alma Place NE and SR-305 Transportation Plan, NM 5.4.
17 GATEWAY II—GATEWAY TO THE OLYMPICS:
Until that fence [around the Unocal property] gets taken down, we’re never going to feel like anything’s welcoming anyone. —Cris Beattie, Executive Director, Bainbridge Island Downtown Association, quoted in The Bainbridge Island Review, November 27, 2002.
Gateway II is the intersection of SR-305 and Winslow Way. Through it rushes traffic entering and leaving the ferries. It is the hurried point of decision—an important crossroad, providing the choice of whether to move on through the gateway to the Olympics, or to turn left and engage Winslow.
This crossroad needs to maintain its connection with the Eagle Harbor Waterfront through the Unocal and Winslow The Winslow ferry landing, c. 2000 —Courtesy of WSF
Marine properties and the Winslow Ravine, with their opportunities for trails and view corridors. It also needs to maintain a clear visual and physical connection to the Winslow downtown area. The disposition of many properties around the intersection is in question.
Gateway to the Olympics — the Clearwater Casino SR-305 / Winslow Way intersection 18 The Unocal property on its southwest corner, a former gas station, is a key piece in encouraging flow into downtown Winslow.
The Winslow Marine property, adjoins the Unocal property to the south along Olympic Drive. It too is a key piece, as it contains access to views and waterfront connections called for in the Winslow Master Plan, but which will be likely lost if the property is completely developed. There are some significant trees on the property.
The third key piece is the police station on the southeast corner of the intersection. The police station will relocate in the future, leaving future uses of this piece in question.
All three properties should become public spaces, providing public waterfront views, trails to access Winslow Eagle Harbor view from Winslow Marine property and the waterfront, and art opportunities.

Provide amenities such as seating and kiosks for the walker.
Maintain the natural beauty of Bainbridge Island. —The COBI Comprehensive Plan, Cultural Element, 10.6.
4] Green Corridor: Preserve and reinforce the green corridor along Olympic Way (The Unocal and Winslow Marine properties). The green along the southwest side of Olympic Way needs to be preserved, and reinforced with planting on the northeast side of the street. This greenbelt, seen immediately by disembarking drivers, provides a link SR-305 / Winslow Way intersection, police station to the longer green corridor that to many travelers is their only impression of the Island.
5] Intersection Design: When the Washington State Department of Transportation redesigns the SR-305 and Winslow Way intersection lighting and sign system, insist on an artist playing an active role on the design team, in order to mitigate and transform the impact the changes will have on that intersection. All crosswalks could use a distinctive marking such as a lattice design, in order to create a distinctive element on the surface plane, and provide a psychological auto calming device. The pattern language of the lattice strengthens the sense of arrival into a small town/island community. and reinforces a pedestrian based streetscape. This pattern language could be translated into elements such as utilitarian traffic poles, which could support temporary trellises for flowering vines. SR-305 / Winslow Way intersection, looking west
21 GATEWAY III—THRESHOLD TO WINSLOW (2003-2004 STREET IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT PRESENTLY IN DESIGN DEVELOPMENT):
People invest places with social and cultural meaning, and urban landscape history can provide a framework for connecting those meanings into contemporary urban life. —Dolores Hayden, The Power of Place.
Choosing a past helps us construct a future. —Kevin Lynch, What Time is This Place?
There is every reason why the beginnings and endings of streets Winslow Ravine—Courtesy of the Bainbridge Island Historical Museum should be well marked, as part of the street, to introduce us to them and to take us elsewhere. Entrances can always be open and inviting. Experience of fine streets indicates that entries and exits are not always well done or memorable in themselves. The same experience suggests that when they are well done they contribute in significant ways to great streets, though they may not detract all that much when they are less than they might be. —Allan B. Jacobs, Great Streets.
Ravine Entrance— The Winslow Ravine Bridge
Threshold: Ravine bridge map—Courtesy of the Bainbridge Island Historical Museum The Ravine is the threshold into historic downtown Winslow. Once spanned by a wooden trestle bridge and now earthen infill, the Ravine’s presence and influence remains. The Ravine now is easy to miss, and it needs to be marked by a significant experience in the roadway. The proposed threshold bridge bases some elements of its design on this historic structure, while creating a unique entry which becomes an amalgam of the then and the now. The following are the bridge components which collectively create this sense of passage and arrival. This gateway is about the poetics of utility and the aspirations of place.
Winslow Wash—Courtesy of Bainbridge Island Historical Museum
22 Gateway III / Public Art Projects: with the goal of removing invasive plants and propagating and planting natives. 1] Ravine Threshold: The four elements of the threshold, 1a-1d, are described separately, but function as one piece Future options: Build a wooden or metal pedestrian to mark the Ravine crossing. footbridge separating and rejoining or connecting to the harbor trail below, providing more intimacy with the Ravine 1a] Bridge: Build a wooden “boardwalk” sidewalk over the views, and drawing pedestrians toward Winslow, or Ravine, along the edges of the existing fill. The wooden construct an artist/engineer-designed perch out in the trees bridge of the 1920s and 30s is a signature image of accessed from a walkway mid span on the south side of Winslow. Sustainably harvested IPE wood, used in the street. Portland’s Jameson Square, lasts 50 years, is low- maintenance and is comparable to concrete in slip- resistance. A major difference in the use of wood rather than concrete or steel grating (which are also possible materials for creating the sense of “bridge”) is the feel and acoustic quality. The design team is considering a construction method which accentuates the resonance of each board, thus creating a musical boardwalk.
Highlight the existing narrowing of the street to emphasize that this is like a doorway to Winslow (the proposed features do not actually narrow the street, but work within the City’s plans for street and sidewalk width). Add railing Perch in the forest with a historic reference. The new railing is an design opportunity and a potential poetic handrail. It is important to maintain a sense of passage, and not make the bridge into a “place” or plaza.
Enhance the experience of passing through the natural greenbelt. Clear the ivy which is choking trees and obscuring views through the Ravine to the harbor, and replant with appropriate native plants. The enlistment of volunteer help could be a social and educational asset in addition to the task at hand. Create a modern day Civilian

The suspended lighting is planned to be at pedestrian height, and for community postings. Create enticing from highway 305 and experiential to those a system for erecting banners and holiday lighting across passing under. The lights would be hung along the the street from pole to pole. Future public art commissions centerline of the street so that the light spills onto the street could include embellishments of amenities along the and not into the ravine. The catenary wires provide a streetscape, infrastructure opportunities and surface armature for LED feature lighting, which can create festive enrichments. aerial light-scapes of low intensity but high-visibility as well as subtle effects such as a evening atmosphere of cobalt blue. the “then and now” mutually enhance each other in a lighting design that is low energy and long lasting, and easily programmable to meet the occasion. Additional pole lighting can be retrofitted if necessary over pedestrian areas similar to the approach proposed for pedestrian lighting along Winslow Way.
1c] Tall Poles: The suspended lighting would be supported with recycled wooden light poles. The poles will stand at the four corners of the threshold bridge and be tensioned with guy lines typical of this type of installation. The catenary wire and tensioning wires will provide a cost- effective, stout structure. Proposed “bridge” boardwalk
A note about poles: The use of poles to support the bridge lighting create a dialogue with the existing poles (“Legacy Poles”) along Winslow Way. These relics can continue to serve many needs even after the power lines are rerouted underground or along the back of the commercial district. The former Wycoff Creosote Works located in Eagle Harbor provides a local vernacular, and a historic rationale for retaining vestiges of this past. The old poles provide a rhythm and amenity to the streetscape. The poles presently provide support to hang official holiday lights and banners as well as a surface to provide unofficial community communications—the posting kiosks for events and lost pets. Plan and section of proposed “bridge” 24 1d] Stormwater Made Visible: Address the current temporary concrete or asphalt infill, to allow future dumping of untreated stormwater into the Ravine, by installations as schedules require. The infill can be detaining and treating the stormwater runoff from the removed later, and replaced with art paving. A major threshold bridge. Incorporate a “bio-ditch” along the opportunity exists when the SR-305/Winslow Way outboard sides of the boardwalk. Either by excavating intersection is redone. WDOT should provide blockouts at moats or providing half-round culvert wetlands planters, the the pedestrian walkways and a budget to the Bainbridge bio remediation can clean the water before it enters the Art and Humanities Council to commission artists, thus stream. Overflow precautions can be designed into the continuing the approach seen along Winslow Way. system. The fact that this wetland landscape parallels the walkway reinforces the notion of a bridge crossing water. This high-visibility feature also reinforces the message of sustainability.
Develop demonstration bioswales wherever possible, beginning with the new planting areas around the Erickson/Bjune intersections. These areas can be as attractively planted as conventional green spaces.
Develop cisterns in Winslow to capture water from roofs. Reuse it for watering downtown plantings. Incorporate water pressure of detention tank on Erickson Avenue into a fountain/watering pump feature at the curb bulb bioswale Relic light fixture still in use on Madison Avenue on the north side of Winslow Way at Erickson. There are other areas on the island where piping ditches is proposed. These ditches could easily be transformed into bioswales, at less cost. Creative solutions are needed to design a solution for competing needs of auto, bike pedestrian and the adjacent “bio-ditch”.
2] Continuing Pavement Art
Continue the practice of artists making unique paving infill. Interesting paving appears in the central section of Winslow Way at Cafe Nola and at Blackbird Bakery. Small projects like this should continue in each new section of sidewalk in Winslow. Blockouts can be made with Proposed “bridge” boardwalk 25 GATEWAY IV—THE AGATE PASS BRIDGE: The fourth entry is the bridge at Agate Pass. Both sides of this bridge should be nurtured as important transitions for the traveler.
Gateway IV / Public Art Projects: 1] Tribal Collaboration: Northbound travelers leaving Bainbridge Island and entering the Suquamish Reservation, the land of the first inhabitants of the area, could, with the collaboration of the Suquamish Tribe, create a reinforcement of the journey to the Kitsap/Olympic Peninsula.
2] Bridge Treatment: Southbound traffic could be made aware of the entering of Bainbridge island with an artistic gesture, either on the bridge or upon entering the Island Bridge at Agate Pass from the bridge.
3] Rotary Club Sign: On the west side of SR-305, south of the Agate Pass Bridge at Alma Place NE and NE Seabold Road, is a historic piece of Bainbridge—the carved and painted Island map with Rotary, Kiwanis and American Legion post symbols. This piece of property could be a public park, and is a good place for a gateway feature. Its redesign could be a fruitful collaboration between an artist and the Rotary Club (and possibly another agency, such as a public school).
Rotary Club welcome sign Rotary Club welcome sign at Agate Pass
26 OTHER GATEWAYS THAT REINFORCE THE EPISODIC APPROACH: There are three other public entries to the Island which have a direct engagement with Winslow. One is the Winslow Public Dock. The second is the Washington State Ferries Maintenance Yard. The third actually comprises several—the “city limits” entries into the historic boundary of Winslow and/or where the city boundary changes from high to low density. And a fourth category of gateways—public road ends—surrounds the Island.
The Winslow Public Dock—Gateway/Public Art View under the Ferry Yard dock Projects: The Public Dock represents the essence of Island gateway. On Bainbridge Island it is a personal embark/disembark amenity. Boats are like islands—self- sustaining and personal. The Public Dock boardwalk connects to the public trail along the shore, reinforcing a potentially significant social promenade experience. The missing boardwalk link between Madison Street and the Waterfront Park needs to be completed so that walkers can have an uninterrupted tour of the waterfront.
The Washington State Ferry Yard—Gateway/Public Art The Waterfront Trail near the foot of Madison Avenue Projects: Support the restoration of part of the lagoon and sand spit at the mouth of the Ravine. When the ferry yard relocates, opportunities for public use of the property appear. Restoring some of the lagoon would improve the health of the Ravine and make a much-needed connection to the water (fulfilling goals in the 1999 Harbor Management Plan, p.23, and the 1998 Winslow Master Plan, pp.11-12). The Public Art Committee of the Bainbridge Island Arts & Humanities Council should be involved at the outset of any redevelopment plans by either public or private entities, to assure artists’ engagement. Waterfront Trail boardwalk
27 Other Winslow Village Entries—Gateway/Public Art Projects:
The 1998 Winslow Master Plan calls (p.118) for four other entryways into Winslow to receive special treatment: 1] At Wyatt and Weaver, 2] At High School Road and Sportsman’s Club, 3] At Madison and New Brooklyn and 4] At Ferncliff and High School Road. Ideas that are developed by this group could be extended to these sites. These are transition zones from “rural” to small-town urban, points where the essences of each commingle, creating a hybrid. Here the “bio-ditch” turns into the bioswale. There is a project currently in planning for new sidewalks and stormwater treatment along Madison

28 Public Road Ends: In addition, the public road ends of Bainbridge Island are a treasure of access to, and gateways from, the waterfront surrounding the Island. Each one is a possible site for future intervention by an artist.
The county’s first commissioner declared that every shore road would go to the water, thus the Island’s legacy of road ends every half-mile or so around the Island. —The Bainbridge Island Comprehensive Plan (1990), An Historical Profile. Public beach access, Harborview Drive
Public Road Ends—Gateway/Public Art Projects:
1] Public Amenities: Artists could be hired to create site- specific amenities at road ends. The nature of elements such as seating, fish-cleaning tables and firepits should be responsive to the adjacent community, site-specific, functional, and mindful of the modest nature of the sites— not competing with but complementing the natural settings. The local communities should be involved in these projects. This is an opportunity for art as a collaborative “gift”. Ecological and sustainability principals need to be recognized and applied.
Seabold Road-end, rope lifeline to beach 2] Modest works: Artists could be hired to create modest pieces at road ends which call attention to unique features, or history, of the site. Care should be taken to not disrupt the natural beauty and simplicity of the road ends. The local communities should be involved in these projects.

29 THE PUBLIC ART MASTER PLAN
Opportunities for enhancing the built environment include new City capital improvement projects such as sidewalks and curbing projects, the development of amenities such as planters, public seating and small public spaces, and the use of building walls for public art projects. Many of the participants in the focus groups mentioned the need for the improvement of the ferry terminal as the gateway to the Island and felt that the arts and in particular, public art, could be used to enhance the gateway. The residents of Bainbridge Island are justifiably proud of the built and natural visual environments of the Island and the quality of life produced by these landscape assets. As the Island Fanciful water features continues to grow, it will be important that deliberate strategies be in place to preserve these assets. —The Bainbridge Island Cultural Plan, Goal 10. Public Art and Community Design.
Great streets require physical characteristics that help the eyes do what they want to do, must do: move. —Allan B. Jacobs, Great Streets.
[An] artist’s job is...to produce an image that expands the public’s expectations of what they may get from public forms, to provoke thought, and help people look around them with fresh eyes. —Lucy Lippard, Get the Message: A Decade of Art for Social Change.
The goals of this plan are to develop a vision for siting future public art on Winslow Way between Ferncliff Avenue and Madison Avenue and along Olympic Drive, while embracing the unique identity of Bainbridge Island. Ideas Children operating waterworks put forth in this plan will overlap with and, in some areas, elaborate on, the ideas in “THE GATEWAY CONCEPTS”.

31 OLYMPIC DRIVE, FROM THE FERRY LANDING TO WINSLOW WAY: This commuter walk-and-drive-way to and from the ferry is constantly changing, subject to the push-and-pull of the sometimes competing needs and initiatives of the Washington State Ferries, Kitsap Transit and The City of Bainbridge Island.

32 WINSLOW WAY BUSINESS DISTRICT, SR-305 TO MADISON AVENUE: Winslow Way is the cultural, service and retail core of Bainbridge Island. Its “Main Street”, Winslow Way, is close to but cut off from the waterfront. Tourists come from Seattle to shop and eat and soak up the small-town atmosphere. It is where people meet, where friends gather by intent or accident, where political discussions take place on the benches in front of bakeries. Winslow Way is the heart of civic life on the Island.
Public right-of-way occupies approximately 50% of the retail core. Improvements there belong to, and should reflect and support, the entire Island.
Lowly, unpurposeful and random as they may appear, sidewalk contacts are the small change from which a city’s wealth of public life may grow. —Jane Jacobs, The Death and Life of Great American Cities.
Small-scale, inexpensive improvements can be more effective at drawing people into spaces than major big- buck projects. —Project for Public Spaces, Inc., How to Turn A Place Around. Combination street and pedestrian lighting on Madison Avenue

2] Private Development: Encourage or require private developers who build along the street to include an artist on their design team, or to commission an artist to create a site-specific work for public spaces associated with the development. Artists should be selected through, or with the assistance of, the Public Art Committee, to assure the continuity of concepts in the adopted Master Plan.
3] Water Projects: Further develop the treatment of building and street runoff begun as part of the art integration in the street improvements between Erickson Winslow Way / Erickson Ave intersection Rainwater cistern Avenue and SR-305. For example, hire an artist to design, in cooperation with COBI engineers, cisterns for existing buildings, to make rainwater from roofs available for watering Winslow Way landscaping. One possible location is within the Winslow Mall, with the participation of the property owner and the business owners.
4] Streetscape: Work with the Bainbridge Island Downtown Association to plan artist participation in future public seating/landscaping projects. The existing projects done by landscape architect Bart Berg are an excellent model of places in which people can relax and enjoy the street, and should be treasured and expanded. The hiring of artists for small projects such as these can add unexpected elements to the street.

1] Variety: Standardization is undesirable. Part of Winslow’s attraction now is its quirkiness. Allowance should be made for small, unique features. A variety of lighting solutions, for example, is desirable.
2] Sidewalks: Wider sidewalks, but not too wide, should be built. This area’s sidewalks are sometimes too narrow, and obstructed by utility poles, for easy passage. However, a small increase in width would be enough to ease walking. Enough street width should be kept to allow the informal parking of delivery trucks in the center, with traffic able to slowly move around them.

2] Orchard: Reintroduce the village orchard, possibly at part of the Winslow Green. Preserve all existing “heritage apples”; take scions and nurture for future plantings. The old fruit tree in front of the Virginia Mason Clinic on Winslow Way is an example of a lovely mature tree to be preserved, as is the more recently planted Russian Pear on Winslow Way at the entrance to Town & Country parking lot.
3] Madrone Witness Tree: Reintroduce the historic witness tree that gave Winslow its older name “Madrone”, by replanting a Madrone at the foot of Madison in the precise location where this historic tree existed and became a witness tree. Research the old survey field notes to locate the original site, and include this documentation as part of a historical illustration adjacent to the tree. Fruit tree at Virginia Mason Winslow Clinic
