SOUTH TUCSON, Ariz. — The City of South Tucson is working to make roads safer while also brightening up the community."They're all reflective of this community," Selina Barajas, who helped plan the project, explained."A lot of them grew up in this area and have come back.""You know, we are reinvesting back into the neighborhoods that we love," she shared."So, it meant much more to us than creating color on the streets.
The crosswalks are located at 4th Avenue and 28th Street. This area was picked because of it's heavy use. "We see people, you know, crossing. We see people on bikes along this corridor and we want to ensure those safety measures," Barajas said."People notice them," she added."We've just been observing and in the past couple days since they've been on the street, we've had people slow down and admire the artwork.""It was a big surprise for those who went to work on Monday," Mel Dominguez, who helped with the project, shared.
Dominguez works at Galeria Mitotera, which is located right next to the crosswalk. He's glad it is right outside.The city is hoping to add more in the coming weeks.
