PROVINCETOWN – A sidewalk is needed for anyone to look closely to the Provincetown AIDS Memorial next to Town Hall, according to the town Cultural Council. The artist who designed the memorial agrees.
But a majority of the Select Board doesn’t like the sidewalk design, specifically the concrete, and neither does the town Public Landscape Committee.
“A big slab of white concrete with this dark memorial sitting on the top of it doesn’t sit well with me,” Select Board member John Golden said during a Select Board meeting on Monday, May 10.
One of the major goals of the sidewalk would be to allow anyone with disabilities to reach the memorial, according to the Cultural Council. The project is estimated to be $10,800, and the Cultural Council needs about $3,200 more from the town.
