One thing for sure, Banksy isn’t in town. These spray painted hieroglyphics went up on the EBMUD substation bordering the Lafayette trail north of the School Street trail entrance recently and walkers who use the meandering lane are seeing red.

You’re not alone, Kimberly, as others have noted the tags and amateurish styling and made their desire to see it come down – pronto – known.
The relatively secluded nature of the sub station and the “canvas-like” appearance of the concrete structures have proven attractive to taggers and EBMUD has moved aggressively to remove the scribbles in the past. We’ll see what happens with this latest batch.

They are slippery suckers, but if you can catch one, I recommend ear tags or nose tags to help identify repeat offenders.
Noticed that EBMUD responded quickly and painted over the mess. Thanks!
Sweet! Nice work EBMUD tag-painter-overs!
