South Dakota Avenue/Riggs Road NE Traffic Box Art Project Installation

Posted by nextstoprp in Lamond Riggs Citizens Association, Main Street

New artwork brightens the South Dakota Avenue/Riggs Road NE corridor. The Parks Main Street, in conjunction with the Lamond-Riggs Citizens Association, oversaw the installation of art designs selected by local residents on six traffic boxes along the corridor. The ones in front of Art Place at Fort Totten are an especially nice touch. Combined with the sculptures, it feels like walking past an outdoor gallery on South Dakota.

Check them out.
