!!!!!Graffiti Gone!!!!!
Or at least a pale shadow of itself!
Here's some good news. The graffiti on and beneath the Cypress Street Overpass has been erased by power washing. Just faint traces of it are left. Victory is ours!
I just drove by there and did a double-take. I assume that the City Graffiti Removal crew did the deed.
Good Work Everybody!
Thank you to everyone who contributed toward getting the job done.
Congratulations, Mt. Hope.

Confirmed:
Rita Murphy, Director of the Office of Neighborhood Sevices confirmed that despite staff shortages the Graffiti Removal Crew was scheduled to get over to Mt. Hope to remove Graffiti on the Mt.Luther King School and the Cypress Street Overpass.
Because of staff shortages and the proliferation of Graffiti in the city Rita said it was not easy to move this to a high priority. But in the end it got done in quite a timely fashion. Quite an effective operation, I'd say.
Thanks to Rita Murphy, Councilman Jackson, Lt. Schiavulli, and the Graffiti Removal Crew.

Many thanks to the GCCC members and Mt Hopeans who sent letter and emails or made phone calls about the graffiti. What a positive impact your efforts had. Good work!
