The guy famous for building custom motorcycles is working on a different kind of metal project: the planters on Pine Avenue.

The West Coast Choppers owner will be working with the Redevelopment Agency on sprucing up four tree planters at Broadway and Pine. The new decorative feature should be up by Christmas.

"I've been noticing some of the projects that the city has been working on, and thought we could do a way better job," said James. "So I reached out to the city and offered to take on these projects."
