In Underpass park, some of the concrete supports holding up Eastern Ave have been painted by various street artists.  The pillars that are closest to Lower River Street feature people of all races, genders, ages, and colours entangled together.

A man and two kids walk their bikes past Underpass Park on Lower River St. in Toronto. A road is above them. Concrete supports that hold up that road have been decorated with paintings by various street artists. Closest to the street, the pillars are people with their arms raised so it looks like they are holding up the road. The horizontal part of the supprts are covered with pictures of people flying outward from the center.

Details of some of the people:
