A video proposal for a mural of the Centennial Trail along the large blank wall next to the Division Street Bridge has popped up on YouTube. The proposal is well thought out and provides some good imagery of the suggested locations along with lighting and other ideas.
Wayfinding elements can be a great way for an area or neighborhood to distinguish itself while providing people with helpful information for getting around. Something on this large of a scale could really liven up this portion of the trail and serve to educate visitors (Note convention center next door)about the river and the extensive trail. We're not sure who's behind it but we like it. In two years the trail will be 20 years old. Thoughts? Concerns? Leave 'em in the comments section.
Awesome.
Now do it!

That is a fantastic idea- it seems like it would be a good tie-in to Spokane's bike planning.
On a somewhat related note: I just went to Olympia and they have a lot of artwork on the boardwalk (similar to the art on the trail here)--- but they have signs that display a phone number to call for an audio tour of the art. People can call on their cell phones and then walk around hearing the history of the pieces. It seemed like a great idea that would be easy to support. We could have a couple of versions too- one for a short trail-walk and a second for a longer harold balaz art walk- since his art is everywhere in spokane.
