| Design Features and Community Oriented Design Enhancement (CODE) Program Projects: |
 |
San Jose artist Diana Pumpelly Bates used the stems of palm fronds abundant in local landscape, as the basis for her designs for the shelter canopy glass and railing. The design is etched on the bright blue art glass, which provides a cooling effect during the day and brightly lit feature at night. |
