Decorative Treatment for Traffic Signal Cabinets Initiative
2020 Painted Traffic Boxes Contest
Project Overview
The Town of Amherst Arts and Culture in Public Places Board is spearheading a public art project over the 2019 summer to add color to various intersections around the town. The Amherst Town Board approved support of the initiative and the authorization for the supervisor to sign all New York State Department of Transportation permits and applications in connection with the signal cabinet artwork. The artwork and subsequent painting must be in compliance with regulations from the NYSDOT. It is anticipated that this will be a multi-year initiative. In the first year we are beautifying six signal boxes.
