First Painted Curb Extensions at Roosevelt and Maple!#

Young person painting the street.

Many thanks to everyone who came out on Sunday, July 9th to assist with the installation of our city's FIRST painted curb extensions! Asphalt art is a tangible example of the power of community. Together we installed a traffic calming, art installation in a single day. Not only are painted curb extensions an effective traffic calming application, the participatory nature of these projects enriches our lives by strengthening the fabric of community. Coupling curb extensions with plastic delineator posts and asphalt art we expect to see a reduction in vehicular speeds and vulnerable road user conflicts at this intersection. These results will be tracked and reported once post installation data has been gathered. Check back here for more information about future installations and thank you again for your support!
