‘Lilac Way’ Mural Considered in Robbinsdale
A mural is in the works for a Highway 100 noise wall facing Robbinsdale apartments.
The property owner of the Reeve Apartments, Reuter Walton, wants to paint a mural that has white and purple wildflowers to evoke memories of when Highway 100 was called Lilac Way. The cost of the mural and any upkeep will be paid for by Reuter Walton.
The mural will be located at 4800 Lake Road on the noise wall facing Lilac Drive. A rendering submitted to the city had white flowers and one purple flower. The council approved the mural, but expressed a desire for more color to be added.
If the project gets MnDOT’s permission, the mural would be completed this month.
