Map of Pittsburgh Public Art
When Pittsburgh celebrated it’s 250th anniversary, Mt Lebanon installed two murals as part of their commemoration of the event. This mural above the T–station on Shady Ave is one of them. Helen Worsing designed it to showcase Mt Lebanon as a walking community. This feature of the Mt Lebanon neighborhood is a huge source of pride for them. They don’t use school buses, and they encourage all forms of exercise and activity. Having a pro–walking mural alongside the public transportation stop really impresses you that this community is ahead of it’s time in promoting alternatives to driving.
The mural wraps around the sweeping corner of Shady Ave and continues on 4 walls. The style changes from silhouette to detailed and back again as you walk around the mural.
