Description
An illuminated ring of Corten steel bollards and "legacy lanterns" embedded with images and biographies of local civic leaders commemorate community activism and leadership in Poughkeepsie's Northside neighborhood. The roundabout is named for Petty Officer 1st Class Corey Ingram; the adjoining Champions Walk currently honors five community honorees selected by public nomination and vote. The project received a 2024 AIA New York State Design Pro Bono Project Citation.
