The Shelby Sundial is one step closer to completion.
The Blue River Community Foundation received approval Tuesday morning from the Board of Works and Public Safety to purchase and install a gnomon that will turn the art piece at the Blue River Trailhead just north of downtown Shelbyville into a functioning sundial.
The shadow casting device (gnomon) can now go into production. There is no timeline yet for installation, according to Laura Land, who was representing the foundation at the meeting.
The surface artwork at the trailhead was installed earlier this year. The completion of the sundial will be paid for by grants and private donors.
In other Board of Works news:
- Chris King of Runnebohm Construction received approval to close Gateway Drive Wednesday and Thursday to continue curb and road work on the N. Riley Highway project.
- Shane Peters of the Shelbyville Street Department received approval to restrict Berwick Drive to one lane from Nov. 19 through Nov. 30 for a road project.
