Park Lane’s shop keepers mounted the results today of a community art project that involved two of Kirkland’s elementary schools.

Those results—in the form of two 20-foot vinyl banners donated by FastSigns of Kirkland—are now on the construction fence surrounding Park Lane.

They feature the artistic and verbal responses of Ben Franklin’s kindergarteners to reimagine a city, and the responses of Peter Kirk’s second graders to reimagine a street.
