ARCHIVE: Casselberry Traffic Signal Box Art Wrap​

The Seminole Cultural Arts Council (SCAC) Announces Casselberry Traffic Signal Box Art Wrap​The Seminole Cultural Arts Council (SCAC), working with Board Vice President Anthony Aramendia of the Casselberry City Commission, announces completion of the first art wrap of a traffic signal box in Seminole County.
            
The first signal box is located at the intersection of U.S. 17-92 and N. Lake Triplet Dr., Casselberry in front of Target. A second box is scheduled for a different location in Casselberry in the coming months. The Friends of the Park organization and the City of Casselberry have underwritten both boxes. Various artists are donating their talents and time to the project to provide the U.S. 17-92 corridor with a unique artistic and cultural character.

The SCAC is proposing this beautification program based on CPTED (Crime Prevention through Environmental Design) guidelines:

• Natural Surveillance ("See and be seen") – Crime decreases in areas where perpetrators can be seen. 
• Natural Access Control - Lighting, sidewalks, fencing and signage direct the flow of people while decreasing the opportunity for crime.
• Territorial Reinforcement - Public areas are clearly distinguished from private ones and discourage trespassing.
• Maintenance - Neglected or poorly maintained properties are breeding grounds for criminal activity, so repairs are paramount.

This revitalization effort is expected to not only create visually appealing traffic signal boxes, but attract new businesses, increase investment in the district, and provide an opportunity to showcase Seminole County's art-rich community.
