This is not about
wrapping up the Hill Road project or landscaping median planters on Hill Road
and Second Street.
This is about the
utility boxes abutting sidewalk in area (eventually to be landscaped) on Adams
Street near McMinnville Public Library.
Even with
landscaping likely help obscure them, these boxes will still be eyesores.
There’s a remedy:
Wrap them up.
A website says,
“More and more often cities, municipalities and towns are turning to utility
box covers (made of vinyl and other materials) to eliminate the eye-sore factor
from these inescapable necessities of … life.”
The same website
says, utility boxes can be wrapped in “any high resolution image or artwork.
Choose from photos of flowers or bushes to camouflage the box, or choose
abstract artwork if that is more your style.”
Are you unhappy
about these utility box eyesores? If so, City of McMinnville can wrap them.
