- ➤ Corpus Christi’s colorful crosswalks at Six Points, Twigg Street and Shoreline Boulevard and on Peoples Street T-Head will be removed following a state order that bans non-standard markings; City Manager Peter Zanoni said removals must be completed within 30 days—failure to comply could result in a loss of state and federal funds, and downtown traffic signal cabinets will also be repainted at a cost of about $35,000.
