Why is this story here?
ContainedA section 37 allocation to a single public mural is a bounded decision affecting one site and one neighbourhood. The funds were negotiated into a development agreement and their deployment within that category is reversible. Stakes 1.Touches a narrow groupPublic art in one commercial corridor affects pedestrians and local businesses in that area directly, but the mural itself does not touch daily life for most residents. Narrow geographic scope. Salience 1.
