A new art initiative that uses pavement as a canvas is being tested by the City of Sioux Falls.
The Sioux Falls Intersections project put artist Cameron Abbas’ art on the crosswalks downtown.
Abbas said the designs are supposed to resemble home rugs to welcome all types of people in Sioux Falls.
The project aims to implement traffic calming measures while also embellishing pedestrian- heavy intersections.
Funding for the project comes from a Visual Arts Commission and Active Transportation Board grant.
