Guilford Avenue Decorative Crosswalk Project
Bringing Color, Creativity, and Community to the Downtown Greenway
We’re excited to share the vision for a new artist-designed decorative crosswalk at Guilford Avenue, part of the final phase of Greensboro’s Downtown Greenway.
🛣️ What’s Planned
The selected artist will design a colorful crosswalk mural that:
- Enhances pedestrian safety
- Reflects the character of Westerwood or Greensboro as a whole
- Stays within city regulations for street art and crosswalk visibility
This will be one of two decorative crosswalks featured on the Greenway’s Western Branch — and the very first in our neighborhood.
📍 Location
The mural will be painted within the official crosswalk lines where the Greenway crosses Guilford Avenue, just west of downtown.
