HFF! Noise Barrier Project "Merge" by Rebecca Bayer

Massive art piece adorns Highway 1 through North Vancouver
Colours inspired by Lynn Valley flora and fauna. [With its 623 panels it is probably the largest single piece of public art on the North Shore. Highway 1 connects Metro Vancouver to the North Shore, the Horseshoe Bay Ferry Terminal and Highway 99. ].

Hwy Noise Barrier Art Project
Artist Rebecca Bayer's Merge is a 366-metre-long shock of colour stretching along Highway 1 between Mountain Highway and Fern Street. It is one of the final pieces of the $200-million Lower Lynn Improvement Project, intended to shield the Inter River neighbourhood from highway noise.

Bayer chose the 20 different colours specifically because they are found in the flora, fauna and landmarks from the Lynn Valley area. Bayer consulted with the Lynn Canyon Ecology Centre to match colours with individual species like the red-backed salamander, Pacific chorus frog and licorice fern. She then tried out different permutations to come up with the pattern that exists there today. www.google.com/search?q=colourful+fence+along+highway+1+i...
