One resident said: “Southbound traffic would careen around the corner without looking. I remember walking past a major accident right there that nearly damaged City Arts.” So the community got to work on a solution. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6216756c173a54045bda9b2f/ff4f973f-8077-4017-a1c9-8a515c7a3589/GreenmountWest_after.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6216756c173a54045bda9b2f/cd1ab3d6-5d34-4427-96b4-3b8b80ecfc2e/Res-Hill_Before2.jpg Home - BEFORE At the intersection of Brookfield Ave and Whitelock St in Reservoir Hill, only two out of four crossings had visible crosswalks or ADA ramps. There was poor visibility of the 4-way stop signs, and line markings were all but gone. During just one hour of observation, over half of the cars did not yield, requiring residents to stop or run out of the way, and a child was nearly hit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6216756c173a54045bda9b2f/cfd216d7-8a25-4f0d-9d08-fc85a437a3f6/Res-Hill_After2.jpg Home - AFTER New artwork was designed and installed by Graham Coreil-Allen with input and help from the Reservoir Hill community, utilizing curb extensions and flexible posts. All the crosswalks now have ADA ramps. Before installation: 28% of cars yielded and 36% of pedestrians used the crosswalk. After installation: 74% of cars yielded and 75% of pedestrians used the crosswalk. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6216756c173a54045bda9b2f/e9bd2308-6034-4c9e-87b2-606a31013ad6/johnston-before-b.jpg Home - BEFORE The intersections around the Johnston Square Elementary and its adjacent greenspaces were marked as a 25mph school zone, but over 40% of cars were speeding, some recorded going as fast as 80mph when school let out. Before installation, only half of cars were yielding to pedestrians. A third of pedestrians did not use crosswalks, crossing in the middle of the street. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6216756c173a54045bda9b2f/9cf3ebb4-c68e-4e32-aceb-e02d2f1aec12/johnston-after-b.jpg Home - AFTER The new ADA ramp crosswalks shorten the crossing distance by half. The bump-outs ensure cars do not drive or park in the crosswalks. After installation 90% of pedestrians used the crosswalk to cross. After installation, nearly 70% of cars yielded to pedestrians. 100 volunteers were involved in painting the crosswalks. The artwork covers a total of 5,800 square feet and is part of the larger Bee Safe Johnson Square project. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6216756c173a54045bda9b2f/655d6544-4c01-41ca-b564-a7ac23ccaa20/Design-for-Distancing_placemaking.jpg Home - Placemaking projects may include: • Artistic painting on streets or sidewalks • Landscaping, planters, and barriers • Gateway or educational signage • Parklets or temporary public spaces • Lighting and other unique urban designs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6216756c173a54045bda9b2f/b49906e1-8fc0-4328-b4fc-ba2c88d7c457/painter-square.jpg Home - Any neighborhood can create one!
