Heartbreak by Tony Shull It s a show nearly everyone in Burlington has seen, though not heard: Phish Concert, a mural on the North Street side of Nunyuns Bakery & Café, epitomizes a long, strange trip. Motley pilgrims walk, crawl or ride a chicken on a magenta-hued road toward a distant stage. One of the phans is a creature whose backside is a set of stairs. A smiley-faced clock carrying a briefcase walks in the opposite direction. A huge, deific eye hovers in the sky. The wondrous landscape includes a rocket ship, a waterfall, a sky-bound ladder supported by nothing, a pair of snowmen, Santa with a red-and-white-striped (north?) pole, and a deep gulch whose occupants seem unfazed to be stuck there. In the lower right corner, a facsimile of Edvard Munch s screamer looks very fazed indeed.
But the city’s deputy mayor slammed the plan, saying it was ideologically-driven and the Ward St retailers were being treated like guinea pigs. However, those behind the project say the changes could actually prove to be a boon for affected businesses and emphasised the changes were only temporary. The changes are part of the Hamilton City Council’s $902,000 Innovating Streets project. The trial is being conducted in partnership with Waka Kotahi, which will fund 90 per cent of the cost.

Much investigation and design work has gone into the Innovating Streets plans. Road users are encouraged to use alternative routes if possible, to minimise traffic build-up and delays.
