At the southwest corner of the yard, a heritage Buffalo Springfield road roller that sat at the entrance of the old works yard forms the centrepiece of this sculptural tableau that includes silhouettes of men working. The road roller was used in road construction in Vancouver in the 1930’s and 40’s. The piece enshrines some of the history and work of the city works yard in years past.

City Engineer Don Brynildsen and former City Streets Engineer Bob Ross worked with the artist to develop the context for situating the heritage road roller, once a familiar piece of equipment in the workyard.
