Bees and Flower Crosswalks designed by Lindsey Kyoko Adams
Adams' design is based on the theme of pollination, and features a vibrant depiction of bumblebees and pink dogwood blooms. "I love how colour can enliven a space, and I hope this design reminds people of the beauty and importance of pollinators to our lives and ecosystem." (Lindsey Kyoko Adams)
