A proposed update to city rules could allow artwork on sidewalks. This change would provide neighborhoods with an additional means to express their character. Supporters believe it would bring more color and beauty to public spaces.

New art projects are already appearing in some areas, including murals and painted library steps. A board member is pushing for the city to permit temporary or permanent artwork on sidewalks, which is currently not allowed.

Further details about the proposal and its potential impact are available, including comments from a merchants association board member who is advocating for the change.
