“TUCSON HAS A NEW MURAL”

TUCSON BOULEVARD EAST WARWICK CASTLE LANE OVERPASS Council Member Richard Fimbres and the City of Tucson invite the public to join them in dedicating the “Welcome to Tucson” wall mural on Tucson Boulevard and the East Warwick Castle Lane Overpass. The ceremony will take place on Wednesday, October 31, 2012 at 9:00 a.m. on the west side of Tucson Boulevard, just under the pedestrian overpass. This mural was made possible through the efforts of 80 volunteer employees of McDonald’s Restaurants who worked for four hours and donated $6,000 to the art project. The volunteers partnered with Tucson Clean & Beautiful, the Tucson Arts Brigade, Esperanza School and the Cherry Avenue Neighborhood Association. This beautification project is a continuation of targeted cleanup and beautification projects on key corridors throughout the City, working under the City Manager’s Clean City Committee. Previous projects were at Irvington and Tucson Boulevard and Grant Road and I-10. Residents planning on attending the dedication may park at the Esperanza School.
