Overpass"},"content":{"rendered":"<p class=\"post-left\">The Lauderhill Overpass public art project transforms the areas surrounding this Florida Turnpike pedestrian bridge by introducing large scale sculptures on opposite ends of a concrete pedestrian bridge.The structures provide shade and reflect the diversity of the surrounding community.<\/p>\n<p class=\"post-right\">80% of the students attending Lauderhill Middle School live west of the turnpike and have no alternative but to cross an unfriendly pedestrian crossing plagued by incidents of assault and intimidation that until the introduction of the shade structures lacked any welcoming amenities.See <a title=\"FLORIDA TURNPIKE OVERPASS PROJECT GREENLIGHTED\"
