Painted Intersections

Corvallis' first painted intersection was installed in 2017 at the intersection of 11th Street and Taylor Avenue.

A painted intersection brings vibrancy and social connections to a neighborhood. It creates a focal point that can tell a story about the area and gives neighbors a chance to work together on a common goal. Painted intersections also require planning, coordination, and a dedicated group of community members to see the project through from idea to implementation to maintenance.

The Public Works Department can help community members who are interested in creating a painted intersection in their neighborhood. Please contact Lindsey Almarode at lindsey.almarode@corvallisoregon.gov to get started.
