The Langley Arts Commission is looking to expand its public art presence.

Chairman Frank Rose presented a proposal to the city council Monday that the citizen board would like to add public art to a planter in front of the post office on Second Street.

“Right now, it’s full of shrubs and it’s a great place for a work of art,” Rose said.

City leaders questioned if the planter was technically part of the property leased to the United States Postal Service, or if the area was part of the right of way. Director of Community Planning Michael Davolio said he would look into the rights of way established from the recent Second Street redesign to determine how the city can proceed with altering the 9-by-13 foot rectangle.

Councilman Thomas Gill said he wanted to make sure that the traffic view entering and exiting the post office parking lot would not be obstructed by any future changes.
