[OMS_MANAGERS] Bridge lighting

[Lise Grato]

Regarding the colored lights I have a couple of things.

When I was in a SuperShuttle heading to the airport after Main Street Now in Pittsburg I met a man attending a different conference.  He worked for a company that offered technology for adjustable lights. I believe it was color and hue.  This was for streetlights. I'm trying to track this town for Albany as we like our inviting amber lighting on 1st Avenue for outdoor dining but would love to switch to bright lights at midnight for safety. Our new Street scape is so bright it is often referred to as a landing strip as seen coming over our bridge.  We'd like to dim those in the evenings but keep that bright at night.

At our Pittsburg Conference, there was a Main Street presentation on lighting in Linn, MA with fluorescent looking lights that could be set to different colors for holidays and events. It was used to crest a fun save corridor under a freeway bridge that splits there downtown.  I wrote a post conference educational article in our newsletter. I could look that up if anyone needs the info.

I may have an example of a local bridge that is lighted … I’ll see if I can find a picture! In the meantime, we’ve had pretty good contacting our ODOT regional representative for questions like this. They can get you in touch with the right people who can tell you requirements and recommendations for lighting this particular style of bridge, and likely already have a “preferred supplier” list to reference for lighting contractors. If this is on a state-maintained roadway (doesn’t look like it is), you’d have to have them involved anyway.



Looks like you’re in Region 2: https://www.oregon.gov/odot/Regions/Pages/Region-Contacts.aspx#:~:text=Region%201-,Region%202,-Headquarters%20%2D%20Salem%0A455

Hello,



We have fundraised and also have a small grant that is supposed to go towards lighting for Sheridan's iconic green bridge. The original idea was colored flood lights, but we also are looking at nice white lights to highlight the arch on both sides. The problem is that we need to get a few bids in, but haven't been able to find examples of this size of a bridge (small town bridge) with lighting. Do any of you have examples of this kind of lighting and also, do any of you have contractors/designers you could recommend? Thank you!



Best,

Tkeisha
