California Street Bridge (2019)

Michael Davis

DESCRIPTION:  architectural/public art design for the City of Ventura's California Street Bridge Project:
  • sculptural lighting standards
  • bridge railing with laser-cut steel panels incorporating p.m. pathway lighting 


Michael Davis' 2019 redesign of Ventura's California Street Bridge pedestrian environment provides artistic lighting, railing and pathway elements that provide a sense of enclosure and protection for pedestrians.  The design also enhances the attraction of the bridge as a "transition/destination link and path between downtown and the ocean" and "as a unique vantage point as the crossroads of California Street and the 101 Freeway" (Michael Davis). 
LOCATION: California Street pedestrian access across U.S. Highway 101, Ventura, California, USA
