If donkeys could speak - Art Installation
Rediscovering the innate ergonomic genius of donkeys and reassigning their proper realm.
Reportedly:
"City planners and residents have struggled with San Francisco's steep hills from the very beginnings of the city.
Lombard Street was just one of the many cliff-like streets that horse-drawn wagons and Model T Ford's had trouble with. Cable cars were one solution, and curvy switchbacks were another.
In 1922, the home-owners on the 1000 block of Lombard Street decided that their street was too steep for comfort, and created the plan to create a series of eight sharp turns to make it more manageable."
City Planning officials had an epiphany: Donkeys were the first to lay out APPROPRIATE path network patterns.
