Cycling graffiti or public art?

"Parusel said the group had hoped to paint the Kitsilano half of the barrier too, but ran out of paint."

Cute.

Noticed that too. The group is probably sensitive that visual public perception of the bike lane, barriers and the success/failure of the bike lane reallocation..will affect the City of Vancouver mayor's political credibility/public support.

I've been to some meetings organized by this group who have actually recently organized a full-fledged design competition on a professional standard that invited and had several architectural firms submit design proposals for a downtown Vancouver civic public square/commons/public meeting space. But the general public wouldn't even know that the group members did some super/slick professional work vs. this informal 'art' jam on the bridge.

This group has tenuous overlapping membership with the local cycling advocacy group. But the 2 groups have different mandates. However, it is interesting how a non-cycling advocacy group approaches cycling issues.
