The Great Falls Business Improvement District, in partnership with the
Downtown Development Partnership, is continuing its traffic signal box program for local artists interested in design of public art on selected traffic signal boxes.

The program began in 2011 and is part of an effort to continue beautification in Downtown Great Falls, according to a release.

“The TSB Art Project enhances the pedestrian and driving experience by incorporating artwork directly into the streetscape,” according to the BID release.

All of the traffic signal box in Great Falls has been done by local artists, according to the BID.

This summer, the BID and DDP will complete one traffic signal box at the intersection of 1st Avenue North and 9th Street North.
