ITEM TITLE:Resolution adopting the Community Crosswalks Policy
SUBMITTED BY:Scott Schafer, Public Works Director
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
City Council was approached by community groups interested in painting crosswalks.  At a previous Council meeting, the Council asked the Arts Commission to create a policy for a community crosswalk program.  The proposed resolution and Community Crosswalks Policy would adopt a policy that allows for non-profit and community-based entities to apply for a right-of-way use permit to paint crosswalks.  Locations, materials, and design would be limited.  The Public Works Department would have the authority to determine materials and location.  Designs would be limited to artwork and markings that do not include words, letters, logos or text and could not advertise or promote a private entity (corporation, neighborhood business, chamber of commerce or other community organization).
