The Department of Public Works announced the "Paint the Pavement" program in a statement on Friday. The goal of the program is to allow residents and groups to "help enhance community identity and build a sense of place" by painting murals on various parts of sidewalks and roads.
The new program expands on the 'Decorative Crosswalk' program by increasing the number of mural types that are allowed. That includes:
- Crosswalks
- Sidewalks
- Residential intersections
- Residential streets
- Curb extensions
Head to the city's website for a guide on how the Paint the Pavement program works and how to apply to make a mural in Milwaukee.
The Decorative Crosswalk program started in 2018.
