As always, the best thing to do with graffiti is to actively get good graffiti. Otherwise, you're just giving the next tagger a clean canvas. When a surface gets known as a good place to tag, it will get tagged regularly. These are good tags -- why not just leave them up?

I agree with tripst3r. That graffiti is actually quite impressive art. We've been socially conditioned to immediately associate graffiti with criminality, despite the fact that some pieces are exceptionally well-designed.

Yes, graffiti is still illegal, but every time we cover it up, it's possible the next graffiti on that bridge won't have as much of an artistic nuance.

I hope this information helps.

I totally agree alot of graffiti is vulgar but these are beautiful works of art . Just like the murals on the electric boxes around town. I think the town should encourage the taggers to continue to do them as long as they contain no profanity and to sign them maybe someone will take note of their talent who knows we may have the next Picasso living in town.

That electrical box work is great. I'm so glad the town did that.
