Seasonal Turn is a traffic calming intervention and street art installation enhancing pedestrian safety and representing the seasonal changes and diversity of Baltimore’s Reservoir Hill neighborhood. The artwork created three missing crosswalks within four curb extensions, or “bump outs” that slow down cars to improve pedestrian safety. Inspired by community input and selected through a public design process, its array of colors and angled lines conjure branches and roots, evoking the plant life of the adjacent Whitelock Farm and the ever growing strength of community life in Reservoir Hill.
