The National Capital Commission unveiled the new public art along the pathway on Tuesday, called, 'When the Rubber Meets the Road' by PEI artist Gerald Beaulieu.

The NCC's social media posts promoting the new public art work solicited hundreds of comments.

"Haters gonna hate," said one comment on the NCC's Instagram page. "Well done NCC clearly creating conversation around this piece." Another comment on Instagram said, "What an effective work to express such strong reactions from viewers.""This makes me sad. It's a dead crow," said one person. "How much this pile of tires cost the government?" said another comment on Twitter. "Was it just dropped in a field. I am not an art connoisseur but what is it?""Looks like a dead bird," said former Coun. Alex Cullen."It’s probably more impactful in person, like much great art. Using recycled material is a great artistic technique."The piece was on loan to the Andrew and Laura McCain Art Gallery in New Brunswick in 2022.

The gallery's website said Beaulieu uses "familiar materials to examine the boundary between what is natural and manmade, helpful or harmful."
