We have yet to meet a challenge we couldn’t project-manage to completion. We’ve never painted a crosswalk before, but what we did have was 1) an idea, 2) some experience with public art projects, 3) knowledge of the proper channels for requesting a street closure, and most importantly 4) an illustrator on staff.
(Shout out to Kelly Glass for bringing the perfect level of whimsy to our street with this design.)
Behind this project were hours of design work, measuring, stencil printing, stencil taping (so much taping), paint mixing and a lot of help from friends. Thanks to Downtown Lansing Inc. for lending a hand and agreeing to help us with this. We also owe a huge thank you to everyone who was willing to pick up a brush and sit on the asphalt with us. Our team is quite proud of how this turned out, and if there's one thing this project reinforced, it's that a solid plan (and a lot of paint trays) can turn a big idea into something real.
