Local Youth, Boys & Girls Club and SDG&E Unveil Community Beautification Project VIDEO

The City of Vista, Boys & Girls Club of Vista and San Diego Gas & Electric celebrated the completion of a community beautification project, which added about 90 trees and 10 large 4’ by 4’ paintings to the busy intersection of North Melrose Drive and Olive Avenue. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic over the past year, local youth from the nearby Boys & Girls Club completed a series of colorful paintings reflecting Vista’s rich history. Some of the paintings feature fruit such as avocados and strawberries. Others include inspirational messages. The paintings are mounted to frames on the perimeter fencing for SDG&E’s Melrose substation to improve the aesthetics of the area.
