Manatee County Traffic Cabinet Artwork Program
Manatee County rolled out a brand-new initiative to help beautify the area and minimize exposure to typical urban infrastructure. They are wrapping the traffic signal cabinet to enhance the community’s character and celebrate the history and story of Manatee County. Traffic cabinets are boxes that hold control panels, electrical wiring, and sensors for traffic lights. The project is a great collaboration with the Public Works Department, Government Relations/Communications, and the Board of County Commissioners.
This project is meant to enhance the attractiveness and vibrancy of our community and provide a physical sense of character and identity through artwork and photography. The county is using county-generated imagery and publicly submitted artwork, trying to make your drive through Manatee County a thing of beauty. As part of their countywide beautification effort, Manatee County partnered with local artists to transform these everyday structures into public art displays. For more information about the program, please contact Casey Zempel at casey.zempel@mymanatee.org or 941-748-4501 Ext. 3082.
To date, 33 traffic cabinets have been wrapped. Here are a few of them.
