Thanks to Ian Duncan and the Washington Post for profiling Graham Projects Public Artist and Founding Principal Graham Coreil-Allen and showcasing our recent project in Hyattsville, Maryland, as but one example of how public art can help calm traffic and improve pedestrian safety! We are deeply honored and thankful for the story.
Last week the Federal Highway Administration officially allowed pavement art within their newly updated design manual, the Manual for Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). With this new guidance and an increasing body of data showing the positive safety and economic impact of asphalt art and placemaking, Graham Projects hopes that more state agencies like the Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration and local municipalities will start allowing such creative projects in the public right of way.
