Major Portland highway closure scheduled for graffiti cleanup
An influx of $4 million to ODOT has super charged the cleanup effort of graffiti around the city.
“The plan as of right now, is to completely shut down I-84 for both directions from I-5 all the way to 205,” said Barrie.
It’s scheduled for 12 hours, from midnight to noon on July 14, a Sunday.
And it’s not just for graffiti removal. ODOT, the City of Portland, TriMet and Union Pacific are all coordinating to take advantage of the shut down time.
“Because we’re in the northwest, we get that rainy weather. It’s rainy because you can’t paint. So, we have to find areas that are covered,” said Barrie.
Post huff ergo propter huff?
Yeah, someone was huffing something there...
Omega’s tags are ass anyway. There’s so many terrible artists. I think your work should determine the consequences. Omega —> straight to jail. Also anyone who tags a damn sign. That’s a paddlin then jail
I should say too... the tags obliterating the road signs on 405 should be criminal.
Absolutely agree. I can only imagine what a nightmare it is if you’re not from here. I think if you tag any DOT signage it should be a hefty punishment because it just introduces so much risk in driving. That one really sets me off.
Oh, absolutely. There's one asshole who must be using a high pressure hose or something because they make these 2-3 story monocolor scrawls that are just unintelligible.
52nd and Sandy:
It's not art, it's garbage notably only for it's size. Arms broken, then a paddlin, then jail.
Idk if anyone else saw when someone tagged “shit thy pants” over off the 84 interchange but that one still makes me laugh. I mean, I’m glad it’s gone, but I laughed so hard when I initially saw it, and my partner and I still bring it up months later.
