Paint The Pavement Program
A Paint the Pavement Program could be a community initiative aimed at enhancing street aesthetics and promoting traffic calming through the creation of painted bulb outs. Bulb outs are curb extensions designed to reduce vehicle speed and improve pedestrian safety. In this program, local residents, artists, and especially schools could actively participate by engaging in design competitions for the painted artwork on these bulb outs. The involvement of schools not only encourages a sense of community ownership but also provides a platform for artistic expression among students. The program serves dual purposes by beautifying the streetscape and fostering a collaborative and creative spirit within the community. It becomes a unique opportunity for residents to contribute to the visual identity of their neighborhood while promoting traffic safety and pedestrian-friendly urban spaces.
