Put Murals Out of Reach

I have a simple suggestion to minimize the defacement of freeway murals by graffiti: require that the artwork be placed out of reach (July 8). For example, the lower border should start nine or 10 feet above ground level. Upper and side borders should be inaccessible as well. Taggers can’t fly, and most probably don’t want to run around with stepladders. Obviously this will impose constraints on the artists, but I think most would happily comply to better preserve their work.
