Putting petals to the metal
The traditional yellow cab will get some flower power - and kid power - this fall as part of a citywide art project, Mayor Bloomberg announced yesterday.
Supersize floral decals painted by city children will adorn the hoods, rooftop signs and trunks of thousands of taxis in honor of the centennial of the first metered cab...
Hailed as one of the city's largest volunteer efforts, the Garden in Transit project will run from September to December 2007. The vibrant floral designs will be paid for by private donations through Portraits of Hope, a community arts program.
