Decorative Treatment for Traffic Signal Cabinets Initiative
2022 Painted Traffic Boxes Contest
Project Overview
The Town of Amherst Arts and Culture in Public Places Board began a public art project beginning in the summer of 2019 to add color to intersections around our town. The Amherst Town Board approved support of this exciting initiative. The artwork and subsequent painting comply with regulations from the NYSDOT. It is anticipated that this project will be a multi-year initiative. In 2019, six signal boxes were beautified, and in 2020 five more painted signal boxes were added. It is anticipated that six to eight additional traffic boxes will be painted during the summer of 2022.
