Alleyway Revitalization
East Austin alleyway clean up project with the aim to make these areas safe to walk or bike through by providing cleanup, lighting, landscaping and art.
The alleyways in East Austin have long been neglected by the city and many of them have become a place for trash and drug use. The project will commission artists to add murals and art installations along the alleyways as well as partner up with businesses and residents along the alleyways to create a project that is longterm and self sustainable.
