About the project

The same team who gave you the Cooper/Higbee Underpass Mural would like to create another mural on both walls of the underpass on Central Ave, just west of Cooper Street.

The Steps

  • Volunteers start clean up and professionals pressure wash the walls by December 4.
  • Wall preparation and sealing by volunteers.
  • Artists will set the design on the walls.
  • Artists create.
  • Community enhancement by February 1, 2015.

Why we‘re doing it

So many people drive under this forgotten trestle on a daily basis.  It is very dark and dirty, yet it is the gateway into the popular Central Gardens neighborhood.  By painting an artistic and creative mural, the aesthetics and esteem of the neighborhood and its members will be enhanced.
