This was another StreetARToronto project.
On Dufferin St., just north of Eglinton there is a bridge under the Beltline Pathway.
The old railway bridge crosses the road and metal culverts provide passageways for the sidewalks on both sides of the street. It was painted in November 2014.
One of the sidewalks is closed because of construction on the north side.
In fact, the area looks a bit messy at the moment.
This was a project by STEPS (Sustainable Thinking and Expression on Public Spaces) in collaboration with artists Alexa Hatanaka and Patrick Thompson, local residents, Friends of the York Beltline and local Eglinton-Lawrence Councillor Josh Colle.
The mural was funded by the City of Toronto’s StreetARToronto program with support from area businesses and associations.
