At least one Cherry Street neighbor is challenging the wisdom of this installation.

UPDATE: It appears that this installation was not authorized by RPL, GrovRVA, or Art180 though someone has clearly implicated these organizations in this project.

In addition to more litter this morning, blue paint graffiti tags were found nearby:
