Remember when Oregon Department of Transportation said it would start sending out graffiti cleanup crews in early spring? Well, some of Portland's highway corridors are just now starting to see a change of scenery.
🧼 Yes, but: Take for example this section of I-5 that we showed you back in March.

🗣️ Sound off: Should Portland be the next city to embrace graffiti as an asset?
