In February 2007 Mayor Pro tem Kathleen Hicks District 8 assembled a citizen committee to consider
conceptual designs for a commemorative plaza to be located on the historic James E Guinn School
campus at I-35 South and East Rosedale Street. By June 2007 Komatsu & Associates architects had
presented a conceptual design of the plaza which was approved by the committee The Fort Worth
Public Art staff provided examples of types of public art that could be integrated into the plaza in order to
commemorate James E Guinn and the historic elementary school that once existed on the site The
conceptual design for the plaza was presented to the Southside TIF Board in July 2007
In order to explore public art and design enhancement opportunities for possible incorporation into the
