Proposal: Building a Giant Colossal Statue of Bob Dylan in Lake Superior by Duluth’s Aerial Lift Bridge Canal.
Introduction: Bob Dylan is an iconic figure in the world of music and literature, and he has a special connection to the city of Duluth, Minnesota, where he was born. As a tribute to his legacy, we propose to build a giant, colossal statue of Bob Dylan in Lake Superior by Duluth’s Aerial Lift Bridge Canal. The statue would be a significant tourist attraction and a symbol of Duluth’s cultural heritage. This proposal aims to compare and contrast various studies and proposals for building the statue, identify the best design, and explain the benefits of this project.
Comparing and Contrasting Various Studies and Proposals: Several studies and proposals have been made about building a Bob Dylan statue in Duluth. One proposal suggested building the statue at Bayfront Festival Park, while another suggested placing it on the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center Plaza. Both proposals were deemed unsuitable due to lack of space and potential obstruction of the surrounding views.
Another proposal suggested building the statue in Canal Park near the iconic Aerial Lift Bridge. While this proposal received some support, it was not ideal due to the lack of space and the potential for the statue to block the view of the bridge.
After considering these proposals, we have identified a new location for the statue. Our proposal is to build the statue in Lake Superior, directly in front of the Aerial Lift Bridge. This location offers ample space, and the statue’s placement would not block the bridge’s view. Additionally, this location would create a unique photo opportunity for tourists, and the statue would be visible from several locations in Duluth.
Fruitful Visioning and Design Sessions: To ensure that the statue is a successful and memorable tribute to Bob Dylan, we propose organizing several visioning and design sessions. These sessions would bring together local artists, community leaders, and tourism experts to generate ideas and concepts for the statue’s design. These sessions would also ensure that the statue reflects the values and cultural identity of the Duluth community.
Upsides of the Proposal: Building a giant, colossal statue of Bob Dylan in Lake Superior by Duluth’s Aerial Lift Bridge Canal would have several benefits for the city. The statue would be a significant tourist attraction and generate revenue for the city’s tourism industry. It would also be a symbol of Duluth’s cultural heritage and a tribute to one of the city’s most famous sons. Additionally, the statue would create a unique and memorable photo opportunity for tourists, and its placement in Lake Superior would be a stunning visual spectacle.
Conclusion: In conclusion, building a giant, colossal statue of Bob Dylan in Lake Superior by Duluth’s Aerial Lift Bridge Canal would be a significant cultural and tourism project for the city. By comparing and contrasting various proposals and conducting visioning and design sessions, we have identified the best location and design for the statue. We believe that this project would be a valuable addition to the city’s cultural heritage and a fitting tribute to Bob Dylan’s legacy.
