Paint a community mural on an invited blank wall in downtown Nogales

Downtown Nogales has proud history and too many blank, tagged, or peeling walls facing its main streets. A community mural on an owner-invited wall — designed with neighborhood input — replaces blight with identity and is proven to reduce repeat tagging. Standard: Municipal mural/arts anti-blight program practice; SDG 11. Proof: Before/during/after wall photos with GPS Method (Municipal mural/arts anti-blight program practice; SDG 11.): 1. Confirm wall owner permission and agree the design with the host and neighbors. 2. Prep the wall: scrape loose paint, wash, and prime within ground reach. 3. Grid and sketch the design onto the wall. 4. Paint the mural in stages with community painters on ground-reach sections. 5. Photograph the wall before, during, and finished with date and GPS. Done when: Before/during/after wall photos with GPS

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 30–60 minutes. Method of record: Community-coordination hazard survey (documentation + coordination only; severity-tagged)

Bring

• GPS phone
• camera
• hi-vis vest
• severity-tag reference (minor|moderate|severe|critical)

Steps

1. 1. Walk the corridor from a safe path; record a GPS waypoint at each hazard.
2. 2. Photograph each hazard.
3. 3. Classify the hazard type and assign a severity tag (minor|moderate|severe|critical).
4. 4. Name the responsible handoff target (BID / city agency / utility).
5. 5. Enter each hazard's type, severity, GPS, photo, and handoff target into the proof record; sign.

If it does not match the plan

• NEVER perform repair or enter the roadway/public right-of-way -> documentation and coordination only.
• Any severity:critical (e.g., live downed wire, open utility vault) -> flag immediately to the responsible agency; keep clear.

What counts as done

• Each hazard photographed with a GPS waypoint
• Severity tag assigned per hazard
• Hazard type classified
• Named handoff target per hazard

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
