Creative Crosswalks Program

The three-element strategy currently in implementation at three different intersections in Kerrville may be defined as a single program labeled “Creative Crosswalks”. 

Creative Crosswalks are found in cities across the US with intent to improve pedestrian health and safety, neighborhood identity and “quality of place”, and accessibility.  This approach reimagines traditional crosswalk design using a creative and effective alternative.  A Creative Crosswalk program for Kerrville would use public art and string lighting to increase this intended impact.  

Creative Crosswalks are already in development at the Clay and Water, Clay and Jefferson, and Jefferson and Hays intersections, funded and managed by KUTS in partnership with KPUB, the City of Kerrville, and local businesses and organizations.

In alignment with planning efforts throughout the City - including the 2050 Comprehensive Plan - additional intersections may be considered for the Creative Crosswalks program, including but not limited to:

·  Hays Street and Schreiner Drive

·  Hays and McFarland Streets

·  McFarland Street and Paschal Avenue

·  Singing Wind and Olympic Drives

·  Olympic Drive and Loop 534

·  East Water and G Streets

·  Wesley Dr + Cully Dr and Hill Country Drive

·  FM 480 and Kelly Streets (Center Point)

Businesses, organizations and individuals can join this effort by signing up for a recurring payment to the KUTS fund.  Contributions go directly to KUTS projects, including its Creative Crosswalk program.
