First time travelers to Wichita Falls often ask “What are those little buildings at the traffic intersections?” At the published date there are twelve of these ornamental structures across the city which are part of the city’s median beautification program. The structures hide the bright stainless-steel traffic signal control boxes and help to create a friendly environment for people as they travel thru the city.
This cooperative project with the Traffic Control Division has proven to be a success for all parties. The structures help to significantly cool the control boxes which increases signal reliability and reduces maintenance costs. This is a series of caches for you to enjoy these "Little Buildings" as you tour the Wichita Falls area.
CLOCK TOWER - 2003
The ornamental structure program continued in 2003 after it was set aside for a period to concentrate on constructing the department's new tree transplanting system.
Responding to citizen and council requests for a structure to be built in the east part of the city, the designers came up with a large clock tower, and the intersection at Kell East & Indiana leading to the Emanuel Davis Overpass was chosen as the location. The tower's roof peaks at 20 feet and the clock itself is 3 feet in diameter.
