Annie Rapstoff:
Office for Zebra Crossings (2012), carried out its research during
Remarkable Place at The Keep in Reading on 24th and 25th March. The work was part
of an ongoing dialogue exploring the remarkable in the unremarkable subject of zebra crossings.
Collecting data for the Office for Zebra Crossings event, concerning the public's vision for
the future development of this iconic black and white crossing, raised a number of interesting opinions.
All in all, people felt the black and white of the crossing should remain the same, but the future possibility
of a change to pink and green crossings was not ruled out. New names for crossings included peanut crossing,
magpie crossing and bear crossing as an alternative to the current crossings, Pelican, Puffin and Toucan.
