RESOLUTION
BE IT RESOLVED by the Common Council of the City of Rochester that the City adopt the
following Creative Crosswalk Painting Policy:
A revocable permit, approved by the City Council, will be required by anyone
wishing to paint a creative crosswalk on a City street. The permittee must be an
organized neighborhood group and represent the entire neighborhood. The
crosswalk painting must occur on a street classified as a Local Service Street
and carry less than 2,000 vehicles on an average day. The permittee must
provide the City Traffic Engineer with a written description of the proposed
changes, including diagrams depicting how the crosswalk will look when
completed. The paint used for the crosswalk painting shall be traffic paint and
contain anti-skid additives. The crosswalk painting shall not contain any text,
advertisement or symbols that might be offensive or inappropriate. The
permittee shall work with all affected neighbors to resolve any concerns that may
arise regarding the project. The inability to resolve such concerns may be
grounds for revocation of the permit by the City. Installation, repair, and
maintenance of the creative crosswalk painting shall be the responsibility of the
permittee, with all costs borne by the permittee. The permittee shall obtain a
"Right of Way" permit from the Public Works Department to close the leg of the
intersection on which the crosswalk painting is installed. All costs for providing
traffic control devices for the street closure shall be borne by the permittee. The
permittee shall, at no cost to the City, remove all aspects or features of the
creative crosswalk when the permit expires or is revoked.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this policy applies only to those locations where
painted crosswalk lines do not currently exist.
