Sound Barrier Wall Mural lead designer and artist Richard Salazar – this will be a community collaborative effort with a paint by number approach for 88 sound barrier wall sections. Budget update: After working with staff and stakeholders, the artist developed a more reasonable budget that aligns with a construction schedule over 18 months for a sum over $410,000. 10% or $41,000 will be allocated to project administration fees and the developer will commit an additional $250,000 for road and sidewalk repairs, sound wall repair and painting primer prep. $410,000 + $41,000 = $451,000 + $250,000 = $701,000 estimate b.

Chair Mehas adjourned the meeting at 9:17 p.m. until Tuesday, December 8, 2020 2 Chris Johanson American, b. 1968 Survival through figurization (white) © 2019 Acrylic on found wood Self-taught artist and musician Chris Johanson calls his paintings “neighborhood” or “documentary” pictures, which capture the mental climate and tensions of the contemporary moment. From his early days of making cartoonish markings on the streets of San Francisco’s Mission District, Johanson’s practice has expanded to include paintings, sculptures, and installations that address complicated social, political, and environmental themes through simplified figurative forms and exuberant abstraction, with an approachable and ironic wit.
