Mystery Jugs on Traffic Circle at Gibson & Bouldin

Long after it was made, this roundabout had an ugly dirt pile on it. City landscaping crews seemed to have passed it by. Then eight milk jugs filled with brightly colored liquids appeared on the circle's perimeter curb. Some thought they were weird-funny, some thought they were bizarre-tacky, no one knew where they came from. Were they an alien landing zone? A political statement? Were they the reason the city finally landscaped only days later?
