This colorful crosswalk between Preyer Brewing and Deep Roots Co-Op has 99 bottles on it to represent the 99 downtown blocks (as reported by WFMY2 News). * The project was a collaborative one, with the city allowing volunteers to color in the bottles. The idea came from SynerG, an organization that focuses on Greensboro's residents under 40.
WFMY also reports that about 3,000 pedestrians and 800 bicyclists are hit by cars in North Carolina each year (reference). How nice it would be if these eye-catching crosswalks help drivers stay alert and focused. The bottles sure add a lot of color to this part of Eugene Street!
If you look on the horizon on the right, you can see the iconic JP building, now known as Lincoln Financial.
* Reference, here.
Oh my gosh Janis, that's pretty high statistics! Let's hope this amazing walkway does help to lower those numbers ✨
