2014 Utility Box Program Ready To Go

Draft minutes from the Coeur d’Alene City Council meeting last week: “Recreation Director Steve Anthony stated that the utility box project continues to be a success.  Over the next couple of weeks the installation of the 2014 art will begin.  Coeur d’Alene Charter Academy, Linda Lantzy Photography, Tom Hanson, Julie Clark, Lynn Hanley, Debbie McCulley, Joe McGee, Jason Sanchez, Mary Dee Dodge, Charles Reasoner, and Kenneth Jungjohann, provided art for this year’s project.  Additionally, historical photographs will be used this year.  This artwork lowers maintenance costs, as it prevents the need to repaint the boxes for at least 7 years.  A new Art Currents piece was installed in the place of the Blue Heron piece that was purchased and donated to the City.” (City of Coeur d’Alene Photo: Tugboats & an old-time clock decorate utility boxes at street corner near North Idaho Museum parking lot)
