On the subject of crosswalks, I can remember Winston-Salem (artsy city in North Carolina that I like to follow) commissioning a Canadian artist named Roadsworth to design interesting crosswalks a few years ago. His work had people talking. The crosswalk you see, in the link above, could be his work? I think someone has to commission him though?
Thanks for your reply, Matthew. I checked out some work by Roadsworth, and it's really fun.

I carried on Googling, and think that the arty crosswalk at Alvarado/Temple was created using a product/process called DuraTherm. There's another, simpler example on Alameda at the and of Olvera Street. The same pattern was also used just along Alameda outside the entrance to Union Station.
