We will be painting the underpass on North Parkway, which gets over 5 million vehicles driving by each year. This is a very special thoroughfare on the Parkway system in Memphis, connecting Evergreen, Vollintine-Evergreen, Speedway Terrace, and Crosstown (neighborhood histories linked below) but it comes with a slight change in how applications and activities will work this year! While we plan to have some additional buildings and walls, the main site is a TN State Highway and we are required to submit everyone's designs to the City of Memphis and Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) very soon. We are requesting your designs in ADVANCE. More details: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScFMs9Znz0QzeQ1l9t4k8JzQ6CrIZ5WlvN0qfMo_CEdIoo9_Q/viewform
