Crosswalks Enliven Irving Street
Irving Street got a splash of color with the addition of decorative crosswalks at the intersections of 20th , 22nd and 27th avenues as part of a larger makeover of the streetscape along the popular Sunset District commercial corridor .
The design – stripes in hues of brick red , salmon and sand – brighten the street and give the neighborhood a stronger sense of place .
These aren ’ t the first colorful crosswalks to adorn a San Francisco neighborhood . They also can be found in the heart of the Castro , 24th Street in Noe Valley and Taraval Street in the Outer Sunset .
Once completed , the streetscape project on Irving Street between 19th and 27th avenues , which Public Works designed with community input and managed from start to finish , will bring fresh elements to the busy stretch . They include more street trees , public seating , planter boxes , bulb-outs at crossings to improve pedestrian safety , newly minted sidewalks and metal gateway columns .
