COMMISSION MEMORANDUM

TO:Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission 
FROM:Commissioner Ricky Arriola 
DATE:July  29, 2020
 



SUBJECT:REFERRAL TO THE FINANCE AND ECONOMIC RESILIENCY COMMITTEE TO DISCUSS ESTABLISHING AN ARTISTIC UTILITY BOX WRAP PROGRAM.

ANALYSIS

The City of Ft. Lauderdale has a Utility Box Wrap Program that transforms traffic control boxes and other utility boxes into pieces of art with a custom vinyl wrap. The program has the benefits of serving as a wayfinding map with storytelling tools, enhances the visual pedestrian experience, promotes a sense of community by showcasing the unique character of neighborhoods, and reduces blight by discouraging graffiti, posters, stickers, and vandalism. I ask that the Finance Committee discuss establishing and funding a similar program on Miami Beach.
