The Arts and Culture Commission met at its regular meeting on Sept. 13 to discuss future events, review the extension of the closure on North Canon Drive and meet new members of the team.
The first presentation to the commission was from Public Works Department Project Manager Christine Chung, who gave an update on the North Canon Drive closure. The closure is a 20-foot-tall wall that was installed in 2019 to alleviate the effects of construction on the Metro Purple (D) Line, intended to help with noise, dust and traffic control. At a Study Session on Sept. 12, City Council agreed that the closure has been successful and approved an extension of the closure to June 2023. However, the commission’s larger concern is with the future of the mural painted directly on the wall.
