In what is being called the first ever of its kind in New York City, Livable Streets Education teamed up with Community Roots Charter School and PS 67 and got a helping hand from New York Cares
to paint a magnificent street mural on St. Edwards Street in Fort
Greene, Brooklyn. The project, which was designed by art students, was
done with the blessing of NYC Department of Transportation
under their new Urban Art Program initiative. These short term, art
projects on city assets under their purview are now referred to as “Arterventions” by the DOT.

As you’ll see the students, teachers, volunteers and neighborhood
residents all pitched in to bring the street to life, courtesy of
tweleve vibrant colors. And as the event was wrapping, trucks from a
Million Trees NYC appeared and started planting trees on the block.
How’s that for good karma?
