Highland Park Stormwater Mural

Paint a large stormwater education mural on a retaining wall in Highland Park near Main and Willow streets, using art to explain how rain flows through the neighborhood to South Chick Creek. The mural would trace the path of a raindrop from rooftop to storm drain to creek, showing how everyday actions affect water quality. Highland Park has flooding issues tied to impervious surfaces and undersized storm drains. A mural that makes stormwater visible and understandable would build community awareness while beautifying a blank wall. The project would involve local artists and neighborhood youth in the design and painting process.
