DAWN DRIVE CIRCLE

2018 Wind Spiral

 It all began, like many of our projects, as an idea brought up at a KLVB meeting. The Dawn Drive Traffic Circle (DDTC) had long been neglected. It was said that years ago there was a gas flame feature at the DDTC, but it had not operated for many years. The KLVB thought was that the DDTC was a scenic spot within our City and wouldn't it be nice to pursue a renovation of the area. After much discussion a preliminary design was put together. At the time, KLVB was wanting to introduce local art into our City and the idea of a wind spiral was brought forward.
 
When the landscape/wind spiral final design was complete, it was time to propose our idea to the City. It just so happened that the City had just hired a new City Manager, Josh Ray, and he was very excited about the project. After some discussion, Josh was on board and gave KLVB permission to renovate and maintain DDTC.  
 
After much research, West Shore Wind Spirals was discovered and KLVB made a trip to their studio. Upon meeting the artist and his wife, Ralph and Annette Moresco, and making a tour of their studio, we were immediately impressed and made our purchase that day. As the saying goes, after that day "the rest is history".
 
KLVB cleaned out the old remains of the gas flame feature and the overgrown vegetation. The soil was amended and new native and adapted native plants were installed. Also, an underground drip irrigation system was installed. The City was eager to help as well in the renovation and KLVB had them set the pole for the wind spiral and perform some needed concrete and masonry work. Lastly, KLVB pressure washed all the concrete and masonry surfaces.
 
Today KLVB maintains the landscaping, while the City continues to keep the grass mowed.
