Watch city council say "no street art" like they did everything else.

On a similar front... I would like to see the city select locations that could use some sprucing up and have artists compete against each other to come up with plans to paint over the dull surfaces. My personal preference would be to have artists paint overpasses. The city could commission the artwork for probably pretty cheap (so long as the artist got to put their name on it). They could then coat the artwork with http://www.ppg.com/coatings/matthewspaint/forfabricators/application/Pages/graffiti_video.aspx and have all of the bland cement barriers beautified.

I think it would be a cheap and easy way to make the city look good. The first place I can think of? The overpass on Roosevelt that goes over Edgewood.
