I apologize for the late reply on the painted crosswalks subject.
The City of Grand Prairie Downtown Redevelopment Task Force recently installed two thermoplastic crosswalks by Dallas artist
Ricardo Paniagua. Here is a link to photos…

I asked the coordinator for this project, Andrew Fortune, about the maintenance and he replied,
“We anticipate the thermoplastic to last 8-10 years. There is no maintenance necessary. In the event they get a bit dirty,
one of the members of the Redevelopment Task Force will go out with a hose and spray it down. The material cleans easily (the rain should manage it).”
Please feel free to contact Andrew at
afortune@gptx.org if you have any questions about this project.
Thanks!

Subject: painted crosswalks
Hi there,
We are looking to commission 2 painted crosswalks in the City of Hollister, and I was wondering if anyone could share the following:
1.
Sample maintenance plan for painted crosswalks
2.
Paint recommendations- best for wear and tear
3.
And any traffic/engineering requirements specific to California (i.e. if certain types of crosswalks merit the commissioning of a traffic study)
I would appreciate any feedback, links or recommendations.
Thank you!
