Apache Junction roundabout needs iconic bronze sculpture or fountain

OPINION — Re: the $250,000 art project for the roundabout (“City to consider $250K roundabout art agreement” on the cover of the November 2026 edition of the Apache Junction/Gold Canyon Independent),

I suggest a bronze statue of the End of the Trail legendary Indian on the horse or an Indian wearing a headdress on a horse with a spear looking to the sky, in bronze.

But what I would really like to see is a fountain that could be solar powered with recycling water and water that shoots straight up like the one at Fountain Hills.

Probably much less and would really be an iconic site.
