Circle of fire?

[femme.fatale.]

So I have driven by this stupid thing too many times, and the only logical explanation I can come up with for them to spend $400,000+ dollars on a circle light fixture is because it was meant to be lit on fire and have someone jump a sled through it. It's the only thing that makes sense...

They're on the Whitemud crossing the North Sask. river I believe.

They're magic - go lick one when it's colder than -26.

I bet the imagineers that designed that are just laughing sitting in a swimming pool filled with the cash in their office saying "I can't believe they used tax money to pay us 400g for that"

No way they got 400 gees left, prob cost them 25k to build and than 100k goes for a kickback to who ever authorized it.

Don't they hide those in the cost overruns???

The first thing that popped into my mind when I seen the big blue circle was the Red Bull Air Race.
Now I find out its art. I know some pipe fitters that would have gladly created that for $50k. The city could have had 4 of them so it didn't look like something left behind.

Yeah good call. lol

 

[gates559]

Actually the Calgary Sun reported the total cost at $470,000.
