Rally St. Louis is proud to announce its latest project to enter funding! Branded Crosswalks is a community project whose goal is to beautify #OurSTL by painting beautiful, resident-approved crosswalks in neighborhoods around the St. Louis area.

Morganford-Wyoming-Crossing-FiniIn a city known for its tight-knit communities and vibrant art, the crosswalks will help to build a sense of place, promote civic pride, increase visibility of the pedestrian realm, and demonstrate that pedestrians matter. Plus, they make a neighborhood look great!

As a part of Rally St. Louis’ #OurSTL initiative to help the St. Louis community move forward from the recent events in Ferguson and North St. Louis County, Branded Crosswalks is a great example of how we can continue to improve #OurSTL and strengthen the bonds of our larger community on an every day basis.

MoBikeFed comment: These sidewalks are now a subject of controversy in St. Louis.
