Downtown Long Beach will get up to seven new murals by 2028 as part of a program by the neighborhood’s business improvement association.
The first mural in the Neighborhood Map Mural Project, painted by local artist Robert Lebsack, was completed recently on the Planet Fitness near the intersection of Pine Avenue and Fourth Street. It depicts residents walking and biking along a grid of streets with the words “North Pine Long Beach.” Each letter in Long Beach depicts imagery along Pine Avenue.
The $9,000 mural was commissioned by the Downtown Long Beach Alliance using money it collects from downtown business owners as part of a business licensing fee.
