Project overview

This Safe Routes to School project will improve 21st Ave S between 28th Street and 43rd Street. The project area includes South High School, Folwell Community School, and several parks. We want to make the street safer for everyone. To do that, we are going to think about different ways to slow down traffic on the street.

Asphalt art & demonstration projects

A demonstration project will be installed on the project route in June of 2024. This project will test design options using temporary materials. It will be installed at five locations on 21st Ave S. Two of the locations will also include asphalt art murals. Artists will work with students from schools on the route to design and install the murals.

This demonstration project will feature:

• Two traffic circles – one at 34^th St and one at 40^th St
• Curb extensions with asphalt art at 31^st St
• A pedestrian refuge median with asphalt art at 35^th St
• A pedestrian refuge median at 38^th St
