Advisory board schedules Sept. 2 review to pick designs for traffic‑control box art
Summary
The board confirmed that applications for the traffic control box public‑art program were submitted to DOT and agreed to an outside meeting on Sept. 2 at 7 a.m. to pick three winners; as of the meeting only one applicant had submitted paperwork without a design.
Board members discussed progress on a public‑art program to paint traffic‑control boxes and confirmed a one‑time outside meeting to review submissions and choose winners.
Justin, who is leading the project portion of the subcommittee, said, ‘‘We got our applications and everything over to DOT,’’ and noted the applications’ public visibility. He added, ‘‘The applications are due 08/31,’’ and asked the group to help spread notice. Members agreed to convene outside the regular EDAB meeting schedule to review submissions and make final selections.
The board set a special review meeting for September 2 at 7:00 a.m. to select three winners and finalize the group’s recommendations to the board. Jose was reported to be forwarding applications as they arrived; at the meeting the team reported one person had filed paperwork but not yet submitted a design.
Members emphasized outreach to students, local art groups and community pages to increase design submissions before the deadline. The board did not vote on funding at this meeting; it set the Sept. 2 review as a subcommittee action and invited any member who could participate to attend and make selections for the three winners.
Ending: The board encouraged members to continue outreach; no town appropriation or DOT approval decisions were made during the meeting.
