Earlier this year, the city issued a call for art, inviting artists to help transform traffic signal boxes into captivating public art installations across the community. The city received nearly 100 submissions. Six traffic signal boxes have been strategically selected for this project, with at least one box dedicated to youth art.
The winning artwork will be announced at the beginning of May. The art will be in place for at least two years.
