Keefer Street Overpass
 The
Keefer Street Overpass is an important direct connection for residents
in Strathcona to Seymour Elementary School. Safety and ease of access
is a concern, as the route must pass over a wide rail right-of-way. The
community, concerned about the condition of the overpass and unwanted
activities under the ramp at its east side, requested that it be rehabilitated
and made safer. In 1994, the overpass was structurally improved and the
area under the ramp was walled in. Large bushes, which contributed to
the unsafe environment, were replaced  with
plantings that provided better visibility. The structure was painted and
the community participated in a public art mural project conducted
by a local artist working with students from the elementary school.
