Grass Roots Crosswalk

Health Access Tip: 

Head West to explore more art through the alleys of NOTO’s Back Door. approximately 900 feet.  

How do I calculate my walking steps? 

Walk at a normal speed from one end of the course to the other, counting your steps as you go. Divide the total number of steps into 100, and you’ll find out the length of one step. For example, if you took 50 steps to go 100 feet, your step length is 2 feet. If it took you 40 steps, figure 2 1/2 feet per step. 

There are approximately 2000 steps in a mile.

The Grassroots Crosswalk was completed in the fall of 2023 as a pilot project in the district. The crosswalk was created to include the NOTO colors and wave, and a variety of Kansas grasses were included to represent that the NOTO Arts & Entertainment District was a “grass-roots effort from the beginning”. Various NOTO Artists and community members came together on an October weekend to paint the project. This is the first crosswalk project for the City of Topeka.
