CAIO PENEDO

ON TAP: BRIDGING THE HISTORY

The neighborhood is packed with rich history and culture shaped by the perseverance of the community through injustice and place making. Join us in acknowledging the past, while celebrating the strong history of community along Columbia Tap Trail.

 

Moments of hardship and victory from past eras and beloved historical figures that continue to inspire community members throughout time are acknowledged along the bridge.

 

Due to the trail’s significant historical background, we felt compelled to highlight the events that shaped both this trail and the community. To achieve this, we implemented a timeline of major milestones along the bridge. This creates a physical experience for passersby, bridging the past with the present both literally and figuratively.
