Graffiti Problem on Northside of Town Lake

On 22 May 2006, TempeHiker visited the Town Lake for the sole purpose of documenting a graffiti problem that exists between the Marina and the Mill Avenue bridges.

The following pictures are listed in the order in which they were taken while we walked west from the Marina to the bridges.

We probably walked no more than a half-mile and found 25 occurrences of graffiti.

There must have been graffiti under the northbound Mill Avenue Bridge, but it has been sloppily painted over.

The Tempe Town Lake also has a litter problem and dead fish floating in it.
