Opening onto spectacular vistas towards the Portola and Bayview, for many years this remnant piece of land was used as an informal dumping ground.

 

Then a local grassroots initiative by residents in the Potrero-Dogpatch transformed this abandoned stretch above the southern portal of the Caltrain tunnel into the perfect canvas for a tremendous outpouring of talent.

​

The black & white mural on the tunnel top reproduces a 1930s linoleum cut print of the tunnel by Charles Surendorf who lived on Potrero Hill at the time, and who became world-famous for his prints of California’s gold country. More on him at surendorf2artfoundation.org
