An artist from Overland Park will paint his design on a traffic box at 4th and Felix in Saint Joseph. The selection committee for the traffic box project chose W. Justin Border the artist for this second box. The committee says the new project will be more abstract and leave more to the imagination than the first traffic box, painted last year.

Border says the background of his design was created out of several sections of a stylized topographical map of Saint Joseph. The foreground is based on a diagram of a section of the Missouri River floodplains dating back to the 1930s. The blue denotes the river in its current channel.

Border is currently an Education Assistant at the Johnson County Museum in Shawnee, KS, and a Student Archive Science Trainee at the National Archives and Records Administration in Lenexa, KS. He currently attends the Graphic Design Certificate Program at the Kansas City Art Institute, with an expected graduation date of May 2014.
