Designs sought for SCI crosswalk art project in Shawnee
The Shawnee News-Star
The corner of 9th and Louisa will soon be sporting an artistic flair all its own as a collaboration effort seeks to bring attention to its crosswalks and more importantly, cause drivers to slow down through the area.
South Central Industries, the City of Shawnee and Blue Zones Project Pottawatomie County are putting the callout for design submissions for the pilot project in downtown Shawnee.
The callout is open to artists living in Oklahoma, with a preference for Pottawatomie County artists.
“The goal is a colorful, art deco, mosaic crosswalk design strategically placed in a high-traffic area to enhance public safety and improve walkability for nearby residents and pedestrians around the South Central Industries Campus,” the RFP states.
