Burien graffiti 7/14/2008

I support the City's efforts to clean up graffiti, and the revised graffiti ordinance could be a useful tool. The City of Burien could show leadership in this effort by cleaning up City properties. The City has spent millions of dollars to improve our quality of life and also the perception of Burien in the minds of others living around the Puget Sound region. Graffiti covering our public parks, the public face of the City most often seen by citizens and visitors, undermines all our efforts to improve our city. This video inventory of graffiti in Burien Parks gives City managers and their contractors a place to start. Some of it has remained for many years. I look forward to revisiting these locations 10 days from now and finding all this graffiti removed. When City leaders ensure that the City follows its own laws, they set an example for the citizens and speed the attainment of our collective goals. 7/24: Ten days later, almost none of the graffiti in the video has been removed, and much has been added. The only graffiti that was removed in the last ten days was at the skate park, a ten foot by one foot strip. All the other graffiti at the skate park remained. Dotty Harper Park: 0% removed and the amount of graffiti has doubled from ten days ago. Lakeview, Lake Burien, and Seahurst Parks also had zero graffiti removed, although some was added.
