Can we not work out a deal where a local artist paints it and puts a statue on top. It needs to be a box with stuff in it and access panels, the outer aesthetic doesn't matter and can conform to local tastes.

It’s a good point. Sebastopol CA is full of cute metal statues up and down the front yards of homes and entrances to businesses. A local artist makes them. It’s cute. You’d think we could do that with infrastructure too.
