<div dir="ltr">EClair's giant piece on the sidewalk was an Obviously Bad Idea that was going to attract city attention. Her previous tiny piece had been in front of Noisebridge for months without a problem.<div><br></div>
<div>EClair should be the one paying for the cleanup, or at least doing all the logistics of finding the solvents and pressure-washing services and organizing for them to come out. I don't see why others should have to clean up her mess.</div>
<div><br></div><div>And if she doesn't even offer to do any of that, do we really want someone around the space who just causes problems for other people to clean up? Is she just going to make another sidewalk mural in front of Noisebridge again?</div>

"Sidewalks<br>
<br>
Removing graffiti or stenciling from the sidewalk requires a two<br>
step-process. First you must apply a graffiti remover for concrete,<br>
which can be purchased at a hardware or paint store. Then you must<br>
pressure wash or soda blast the sidewalk in order to remove the<br>
graffiti. Painting the sidewalk is not recommended."<br>
