Paint The Pavement mural, 3100 Bucknell Ct. (opposite Halcyon Middle School) Boulder
Happy trail.
The residents of 31st Street, just south of the University of Colorado’s Boulder campus, teamed up to paint a mural 30 feet square on their street. They combined “road” paint colors for a trippy display that includes bees, a sun-splashed bridge, vegetables and chickens. Martin Acres hosts a community farming project, and many residents keep chickens or turn their lawns into vegetable gardens.
