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.

🎯 Artist Call Highlights
