  • Screenshot of the Rejection Email (do not include your personal information):

  • Additional Information (if any): I would like to request a reconsideration of the rejection of this Wayspot removal report.

The graffiti that originally justified this Wayspot was located on a wall that has been completely demolished. This is not a case of graffiti being painted over, erased, or replaced by another artwork. The physical structure itself no longer exists.

The images currently available on Google Maps date back to February 2026 and do not reflect the current condition of the location. The demolition took place after that date.

I have attached recent photograph showing that the wall has been completely demolished and that no part of the original structure or artwork remains.

I kindly request a new review of this report based on the updated photographic evidence, as the physical object that originally justified this Wayspot no longer exists.

Streetview history of this mural

Sep 2011: It does not exist
Mar 2024: It exists
Dec 2015: It exists
May 2016: It has been removed
Apr 2017: A new mural appears
Feb 2026: That new mural is still there

Your photo appears to show that the entire plaza has been redeveloped, as there was a long mural wall against the road which is also gone. Additional photos might help including more of the streetscape if you don’t get a response, but it would appear the removal is correct due to the gap when there was no mural, regardless of the current suituation.

Thank you for taking the time to investigate the Street View history. This is very helpful!

You are correct: the entire plaza has been redeveloped, and the long mural wall along the road has also been completely removed. I am also including one additional photo taken from a different perspective to provide a clearer view of the area.

I appreciate your help!

Thanks for the appeal, @JojoMaggieG! We gave this a second look and decided to retire the Wayspot in question.
