Bowstring Vines greet pedestrians crossing the bridge and provides an enjoyable shadow play created from the leaves on the walkway deck. The vehicular viewer gets a glimpse of vines encasing the bridge at the above embankment sides and at the center. Frequent commuters get to experience the changing effects of light upon the stainless steel leaves during sunrise and sunset. Stutz describe the project “The Bowstring Vines bring a flowing movement and presence to the Pedestrian Bridge and Greenway. They mark the Cary Community as a place where people and nature come together to flourish and grow.”
