Tri It is a 1,250-square-foot mural by Blaine Fontana, with assistance from Gage Hamilton, David Rice, and Zach Yarrington, painted outside the TriMet Bus Maintenance Facility and across from the MAX Orange Line's Southeast 17th Avenue and Holgate Boulevard MAX Station in Portland's Brooklyn neighborhood.
Despite the predominant car culture, the region's transportation system has long been a beacon of pioneering spirit, inspiring the nation with its bicycle, pedestrian, streetcar, bus, and light rail connectivity.
[4][5] The mural is a timeline and moves forward chronologically, beginning on the east end of the wall along Southeast Holgate Boulevard, which depicts the westward expansion that began prior to 1872.
The artist has said of the piece, "Like most of my murals, TRI IT is about making a positive impact and connecting people.
I hope TRI IT helps create a visual identity for Brooklyn that the community is proud to call its own.
