The Hood River City Council will be addressing the topic of murals in the downtown area at their meeting this evening. The major question to be addressed is whether to allow murals within the downtown Historic District. City Manager Abigail Elder says they have received inquiries over the last year about murals, but they currently don’t have any rules in place. One option before the Council is to allow murals in the Historic District with limitations, but prohibit them on Oak Street or contributing historic structures. A second option would prohibit all murals in the Historic District. This evening’s meeting begins at 6 p.m. in Hood River City Hall.
