First Step of Painting Overpass A Success

Tex Lewis sent some photos of the weekend’s painting project of the Anderson Hill overpass. Here’s the photos, and his letter to the editor.

THE OVERPASS PROJECT SILVERDALE, WASHINGTON

August 3, 2008

Dear Editor,

It’s REALLY blue! With a lot of great help, the Anderson Hill Overpass mural has advanced to the next step.

Before dawn on Sunday, Dan Mansfield and Mike Gritton of Preferred Painting started applying the prime coat for the Overpass Mural. Dan and Mike donated their efforts and really pushed it to get the painting done within the allotted time. Parker Paint donated and tinted the primer. Bill Stoner from County Public Works did a super job of coordinating the road closure.

The next step is to finalize the mural design and get it approved by the Navy. Our Team is looking for an artist or muralist to help with the design. We want something that will have wide appeal, and will be a credit to the community.

This has been a great project, and has been really gratifying to see government, volunteers, and the business community working together.

Thanks to all who moved this project along.

Thanks a million.

Victoria Cartwright, Laura Fedorko, and Tex Lewis
The Overpass Team

    I am really surprised that you guys haven’t mentioned the meeting this coming Friday in Olympia. The Dept of Ecology is supposed to issue its final ruling to nix the whole project. I just posted a article about it on SoundBiteBlog:

    Rich … you’ve got your projects mixed up.

    If this was a deliberate mistake to route us onto your blog, please don’t do it again, thank you.

It's relatively easy to find Silverdale and Central Kitsap on a map. What's harder is to identify things that help residents form a common bond. Silverdale resident Jeff Brody is writing this blog to help build community in Silverdale and Central Kitsap.
