NEW TILE MURALS IN MCCASLIN UNDERPASS BE THE VOICE OF YOUTH OF LOUISVILLE! <br />This summer, Mayor Stolzmann officially unveiled <br />'Beneath The Mesa', eight tile murals located in the <br />McCaslin Blvd Pedestrian Underpass between Harper <br />Lake and Davidson Mesa Open Space. <br />Local artists Rita Vali and Robyn Rathweg spent several <br />months designing and creating the colorful tile murals, <br />which utilize stylized and abstracted images of native <br />flora and fauna to depict the underground ecosystem. <br />Rita and Robyn worked closely with the City's Senior <br />Natural Resources Specialist Steve Roels to ensure that <br />the artwork accurately reflects Louisville's iconic <br />Davidson Mesa Open Space. <br />Celebrating the unveiling of the new public art, Mayor <br />Stolzmann said: <br />"I'd like to thank the Louisville Cultural Council and <br />local artists Rita Vali and Robyn Rathweg, as well as the <br />City's Open Space staff, for working together to deliver <br />this colorful addition to Louisville's rich public <br />art offering. <br />"Residents regularly tell me that spending time in our <br />open spaces is what they love most about Louisville <br />and I know that the new tile murals will only enrich <br />this experience." <br />The ribbon cutting ceremony, which was attended by <br />residents, councilmembers and members of the Louis- <br />ville Cultural Council, was followed by a family -friendly <br />nature walk to explore Davidson Mesa in search of the <br />flora and fauna depicted in the artwork. <br />The project, which cost $22,650, was funded by the <br />Louisville Cultural Council and approved through the <br />City's Public Art Process. <br />More information about the project, including a <br />species list of plants and animals in the artwork and a <br />printable Prairie Bingo, can be found at <br />LouisvilleCO.gov/McCaslinUnderpass. <br />Are you interested in local government, community <br />issues and volunteering?

The problem is that police don't know <br />where most of the cameras in our community are <br />located. Going door to door during an investigation is <br />a time-consuming process, especially when time is of <br />the essence to solve a crime.The solution is knowing <br />where cameras are located so if a crime occurs near <br />a registered camera, officers can easily and quickly <br />contact the camera owners whose cameras may have <br />captured valuable footage and work with them to <br />view the video if needed. <br />To find out more about registering your home or <br />business's video cameras with the Police Department, <br />visit LouisvilleCO.gov/CameraRegistry. <br />RAILROAD QUIET ZONES <br />Having completed the Railroad Quiet Zone work on <br />South Boulder Road, BNSF Railroad will complete work <br />at the crossings at Dillon Road, Pine Street, and Griffith <br />Street.
