SOUTH COLTON MURAL DESCRIPTION <br /> <br />The motivation behind The South Colton Mural is to encourage and establish <br />community involvement while honoring legacy business from the community. <br />This mural will help to establish an inventory of historical brands and logos which <br />have been significant (but not yet designated) in our city. The South Colton Mural <br />will also help to deter graffiti in the area while beautifying the parkways. This <br />concept has been proven to work in cities like San Diego, Riverside, Los Angeles, <br />Pomona and Long Beach. <br />The South Colton Mural will honor the following: <br /> <br />The Colton High School logo which has been the only High School in <br />Colton’s long history and has appeared throughout the City of Colton for <br />decades <br />Four (4) Palm Trees which are planted at Colton’s “Unity Fountain” and <br />have been standing for 50 + years <br />Railroad Tracks that pay tribute to the city’s long “Train Town USA” theme <br />Boxing Gloves to acknowledge the history of Colton’s past Council Men and <br />Mayors starting and participating in boxing events within the city. <br />“El Patio” tribute is to identify the social environment that the community <br />created to combat the systemic racism that prohibited them from <br />socializing north of the railroad tracks. <br />Veterans Park Eagle acknowledges The South Colton Corridors only park <br />that has been home to several little league teams and a meeting place for <br />community members. <br />Casa Valdez logo will identify the cities first and only Black Seminole owned <br />business and the funding source for the South Colton Mural. <br />2.a <br />Packet Pg. 21 Attachment: Attachment 1_SOUTH COLTON MURAL Description English-Spanish (4632 : Sign Review - Mural at 165 East "O" Street)
