Resident proposes painted mural for Main Street underpass
Summary
A Perkasie resident proposed a community-funded mural for the Pleasant Spring Creek underpass beneath Main Street, estimating the project will cost about $10,000–$15,000. Council thanked the presenter and referred the idea to the Parks & Recreation Board for further review.
Sofia Gonzalez-Ortiz, a Perkasie resident who identified herself as a Pennridge and Temple graduate, presented a proposal to paint a mural on the bridge underpass along the Pleasant Spring Creek bike-and-walk path beneath Main Street. She told Council the mural project is "estimated to cost approximately $10-15,000" and included suggested funding sources in her proposal.
Borough staff noted the bridge was built in 1958 and that it is County-maintained; the Borough's Public Works Department currently removes inappropriate graffiti. Council members expressed positive feedback and directed that the Parks & Recreation Board review the proposal at a future meeting. No formal funding commitment or vote was taken at the March 2 meeting.
