Public artwork
In 2007, Metro’s Arts in Transit initiative introduced If You Lived Here You’d be Home, created by Janet Zweig, at this location. The artwork comprises two sculptures positioned on opposite ends of the viaduct: one spells out “MAPLEWOOD” using new building materials to signify progress and development, while its mirrored counterpart employs reclaimed materials sourced from locally demolished homes, reflecting the community’s historical roots.
