Accessed 26 Nov. 2016. In the website "City of Art Innovation" for the City of Riverside
wants the community to get involved twice a month to eradicate graffiti and beautify
their neighborhoods. In the pain out events the community will be removing graffiti twice
a month, 24 times a year and uniforming walls from walls, signs and poles. Another event
is the Green Wall event which is six times a year, the difference is that graffiti would be
covered with landscape and shrubs. Planting plants will educate the community about
green wall techniques and will cover up the graffiti. To Create this community help
toward the city there needs to be PEP meetings regarding graffiti and issues related. First,
this program has to be exposed to the community, then propose solutions and have the
local government and private agencies attend. This will give me an opportunity and a
chance to make the community involved in beautifying the Riverside with these. ideas

various word fonts and colors. The editor also believes that graffiti should be everyone's
problem because it affects the community appearance due to its unpleasant look on
buildings that damages landscape. Not only does it look repellent but it is high priced to
remove, disastrous, lowers property value and the community of riverside might get the
wrong message of it. It specially looks bad in neighborhoods because it seems like the
people are not concerned about their area. Then the Editor goes on and explains the cost
of graffiti by claiming that Riverside spends more than $1.3 million dollars annually on
graffiti. This Money is spent on other public agencies, that provide the material to
removing graffiti from private properties. In a national level it cost $12 billion dollars
yearly. To be able to cover up graffiti in a property, they must fill out a form of "Right of
Entry and Authorization to Abate Graffiti" which is the understanding and consent that
the City of riverside will access the property to remove the graffiti. This helps with
