The survey is a unique opportunity for community members to share insights on the recent asphalt art installation at the Canyon, Magnolia, and Sherwood intersection.
- Role: subject
- In the newsletter: Bike Fort Collins makes this junction its monthly MyCycle focus, asking readers to report conflicts or feeling unsafe when cycling through it. A second survey asks about the recent asphalt art installation at the intersection and whether it has changed how people choose to walk or bike.
- Why it matters: It is a small but concrete case of the advocacy group’s method: pick one awkward junction, gather riders’ experiences, and test whether street art changes behaviour. Elsewhere the item would read the same; the point is the local, block-level focus.

Asphalt Art Installation: Magnolia, Canyon, and Sherwood
- Role: subject
- In the article: The newsletter item calls for volunteers to paint a very large asphalt art installation on the street with artist Jess Bean, billed as one of the largest asphalt art projects in the country. The streets named are Magnolia, Canyon and Sherwood.
- Why it matters: The street surface itself is the project’s canvas, so the junction is the subject of the item. Minor in a long newsletter but it is the one place the item is about.
