We invite members of the community to take this Asphalt Art Theme survey! The survey results will help guide the ongoing development of art that will be painted at curb extensions, crosswalks, and other pedestrian spaces along Washington and Culver Boulevards as part of the Move Culver City effort. These murals will help reduce crossing distances and provide more visibility for pedestrians and will be placed at locations based on the ongoing Move Culver City corridor plan and public feedback. The permitted plans can be found here.
These themes have been developed based on several rounds of outreach with the community about general style and content, and reflect the feedback collected to date.

The goal of this survey and this final round of design feedback is to settle on one theme that will be adapted to sites along the corridor and implemented the last week of July.
It is important to note that there are many curb extension and crosswalk locations along the corridor. The final designs will vary from site to site. What you see below is a typical application of each theme. Once a theme is selected the design team will be applying the overall concept that is chosen to many locations. For example, if you choose the 'Icons of Culver City' theme, we will develop a variety of additional designs showing different icons from the CIty's built or cinematic history. Similarly, the Scenes from Ballona Creek will be developed into many different designs that can be placed along the corridor. The exact locations of murals, number of murals, and color palette will be determined by the project team after considering various factors in the weeks ahead.
