Implementation of the murals along this stretch of trail is an early action item in the Lifeways Plan linear park design by Walter Hood of Hood Design Studios in collaboration with residents, businesses, and other stakeholders from the Harambee and Riverwest communities. The murals will become the backdrop for a $1.2 million development along the Vienna access way that includes opening up a pathway on both the east and west side of Vienna into the neighborhood from the trail, a 7,000 square foot state of the art performance stage, autonomous boxes that can be used as sitting areas, barbecue areas, a tree canopy, open activity areas and oversized gateways that welcome all to this destination place. Murals sponsors include the Knight Foundation, Department of City Development Neighborhood Improvement Development Corporation (NIDC), the Milwaukee Arts Board, and the Greater Milwaukee Foundation.
We encourage all to stop by, take a seat, take a selfie and enjoy the beauty of seeing the neighborhood on the trail.
