Where's Mr. Walker?
Life-size statues of Mr. Walker have been installed in nine locations around Springfield. The presence of these brightly-colored statues is intended to reinforce existing crosswalk signage and serve as a visible reminder to both drivers and pedestrians to use and respect crosswalks.
Statues are located in the following locations:
- Park Central Square - Southwest corner directly in front of the Park Central Branch Library.
- Commercial Street - Crosswalk location near the intersection of Commercial Street and Robberson Avenue.
- Grand Street - Crosswalk location on the Missouri State University campus near the intersection of Grand and Kings Avenue.
- Grant Avenue and Sunset Street - Located next to the South Creek Greenway Trail. This walker's coral color was chosen by the neighborhood and community.
- South Jefferson - Located just north of the intersection of Jefferson and Sunset Street, also located on the South Creek Greenway Trail. This walker is a glowing green color in support of the Ozark Greenways trail system.
- Campbell Avenue Pedestrian Bridge - Located on the pedestrian bridge over Campbell Avenue near the intersection of Primrose Street.
