Projekt rzeźby naturalnej wielkości Williama Heerleina Lindleya zapatrzonego w fontannę (w bezpośrednim sąsiedztwie ławeczki) siedzącego na ławeczce (choć może niech on stoi oparty o te ławeczkę?). Ławeczka w skali 1:1 wpisana byłaby w ciąg ławek miejskich. Konkurs ogłoszony został 28 stycznia 2011 roku. JESTEŚMY ZA!!!
Może taka, jak ta w Łodzi (Biuro Budowy Wodociągów i Kanalizacji)?
