48217 Slow Streets Mural Project

48217 Slow Streets Mural Project

Deadline to apply: APRIL 12, 2025

The City of Detroit, City Walls Detroit, and the Department of Public Works - Complete Streets are partnering to bring a Slow Streets art project to the intersection of Visger and Beatrice St. next to Piwok Park. This initiative aims to create a safer and more connected environment for residents, especially pedestrians crossing at this intersection.

We envision vibrant street art within the planned traffic calming features, including curb extensions. This is your chance to share your artistic vision and help transform this location into a space that fosters a sense of belonging and reflects the unique character of the neighborhood.

This project aligns with the City's vision of empowering residents and shaping a positive future for our communities. We encourage everyone to apply, whether you're a seasoned artist or simply brimming with creative ideas.
