Signal Box Revisited

My signal box at the corner of 8th and Pine Ave. in Downtown Long Beach is in such a high traffic area that it was getting defaced regularly. Luckily not on the foreground images but only the background. The development agency contracted me to make some additions of dog walkers around the whole box.
Check out the finished product below.
