TAKE A STROLL DOWN RAINBOW ROAD
Things got a little brighter on the avenue this week, with the ultimate alley glow up! Tucked in between Malt & Mortar and Glam Slam you’ll find a colorful path, reminiscent of the classic Mario Kart track, Rainbow Road.
This was commissioned by the Old Strathcona Business Association as part of a plan to enhance the expanded sidewalks on Whyte Avenue between Gateway Boulevard and 105th street. Artist, Amos Kajner-Nonnekes, of Design Etc. says, “Something you don’t see very often is a mural on the ground, you can kind of walk through and see yourself going down this rainbow road.”
