A nice piece of graffiti has garnered some media attention for the City rehabilitation project taking place just above Edna Metz Wells Park along Smallwood Drive. The stretch represents the headwaters of Pigeon House Branch, which was diverted, ditched and straightened during the construction of Cameron Village.
This is the current view of Edna Metz, but as you can see below, all is well in the interior.

The small park between East and West Forest drive just above Edna Metz.
This is the beginning of work on the Smallwood section. They added large boulders, retention terraces and other measures to complicate and slow down the flows after heavy rains and restore some biodiversity to this section of the creek.
The landscape is recovering quickly, as you can see be comparing this image with the one below from a month ago.

Now here is the graffiti, at the outlet into the park.
