Towle - Regarding the recent vandalismCustomer Submission #CS-25-760 Open Created on June 3, 2025 by HIRAM TOWLE Description Regarding the recent vandalism by graiti artists (I use that term loosely as it was not what I would call art), I wonder if there is a way to designate an area for folks to practice their cra. Providing a chalkboard for people to express themselves in public restrooms helps keep the writing o the walls and stalls. I live near Story Mill Park and oen use the trails. When passing under the highway overpass on the trail to town, I am frequently impressed by the artist's work despite being very much against vandalism, especially graiti. Oering this "canvas" and using it to promote respectful graiti art (rated PG, not on others' property, and clean up your mess)may help to spread the word and direct the oenders to a place where they can freely express themselves. We could even have an event or two and judge the best art for fabulous prizes. One of the annoyances is the cans and trash le behind, so you could also educate about that. I pick them up frequently. The walls were recently painted, and a fresh canvas was created that immediately got tagged. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em? Thanks for all you do, and if I can help with this initiative, I would be happy to volunteer some Assigned to Alex Newby Collaborator/s Mike Maas Due By 06/06/2025 Submission Age 1 Day Attachments 0 Customer Messages 0 Internal Comments 0 Tasks 0 Source Internal by HIRAM TOWLE Category Public Comment Department Clerk's Office Customer Name HIRAM TOWLE Customer Email htowle@bridgerbowl.com Cell Phone - 6/4/25, 9:56 AM about:blank about:blank 1/4 time. In the end, it is likely the latest example in town is not someone who can be swayed not to be a derelict, but it might be a great form of education and show that the city is doing its best to address it.
