Bridge lighting project will light up our town

Commissioner Donald Crichlow's persistence is about to pay off. 

Expect to see a demonstration of under-bridge lighting on several sections of our historic Bridge of Lions commencing July 3rd and 4th.  Funds will be raised (some $224,000).  The project will be a significant legacy of our Nation's Oldest City's 450th anniversary.

The Bridge lighting technology will allow any color combination, including pink for breast cancer awareness month and Rainbow colors for Gay Pride week.

Internationally-respected lighting artist William Brennan of JustLighting has worked on lighting forSuperbowls and the St. Augustine Nombre de Dios cross, but this is his first bridge.  He and his family moved here several years from Utah, after falling in love with St. Augustine (as so many cool people have, and they keep moving here). 

Welcome, and thank you, Mr. Brennan.

Three cheers for Commissioner Crichlow's persistence.
