ARPi's thought-provoking mural on Wellington West is a compelling visual argument about transportation and environmental progress. The artwork revives the memory of the Ottawa Electric Railway, the silent tram line that powered the city decades ago. This electric past is cleverly contrasted with contemporary themes of cycling and nature throughout the composition. The rhythmic slogan 'round we go' transforms from a simple observation of motion into a clear call for modern electric solutions. This piece reminds us that the city’s path to a sustainable future is often found by embracing the cyclical ingenuity of its past.
