Canada’s largest graffiti mural nears completion
A graffiti mural project nearly completed in Toronto’s west end is offering up some grit and soul to bleary-eyed train commuters and a neighbourhood once teeming with artists and now filled with tidy townhouses and condos.
“The Reclamation Project” has, for the past several weeks, been taking form on a once vandalized concrete sound barrier near Queen W. and Dufferin Sts. in West Queen West, along a rail corridor used by the Milton, Kitchener and Barrie GO train lines.
The 300-metre-long, 6-metre-high wall, between the tracks and Joe Shuster Way, was recently targeted by Toronto’s anti-graffiti bylaw enforcement and threatened with a mundane destiny: repeated whitewashing to cover up uninvited tagging.
