STREETSCAPE AND ALLEYS TIPPINS STREET MURAL

This area, at the intersection of Tippins Street and Park Avenue, is many people’s first impression of Baxley. The site is perfectly pleasant, but doesn’t make much of an impact on visitors. Murals and street trees are two low-cost ways to make a place more inviting and memorable.

PROPOSED: This rendering shows a proposed mural and streetscape improvements. Medium-canopy shade trees are shown planted in the bump-outs to avoid encroaching on the power lines. They provide shade for pedestrians and parked cars. A large mural invites visitors and locals alike and draws them toward the rear of the building and the proposed patio area. The mural shown is a work by local artist Chris Johnson, who has painted murals throughout Georgia. More formalized parking spots along the building also help draw visitors to the area.
