West Allis bus shelters adorned with new art highlighting the importance of fair housing

WEST ALLIS, Wis. (CBS 58) -- Three West Allis bus shelters have a brighter look these days all to draw attention to the cause. 

The newly installed artwork highlights the importance of fair housing. 

The overall initiative is a partnership between the Milwaukee County Transit System (MCTS) and the city's development authority. 

There was a contest open to the public and three lucky winners were chosen, including 11-year-old Felicity Leigh. Her work can be seen at the bus stop at the intersection of Highway 100 and Oklahoma Avenue. 

"It's about how no matter who you are, what you look like, or what's going on in your life, should always have a safe home and be welcomed in the community," said Leigh. 

"If you're going to do murals and bus stations like this, has to generate discussion and conversations," said West Allis Mayor Dan Devine. 

The artwork will be on display at the three bus stops for a year.
