Hey gang...any update on the lighting of the bridges? For all of the hoopla of a few years ago...they are mostly dark and underwhelming. Any hope??

I hear Funkhouser, in a cost cutting move, had all of the bulbs replaced with 40-watt. &&&KansasCityCraka wrote: They were lit for about 6 months and then went dark again.

The city hall lighting was extinguished before his inauguration.

Seriously, though, what is going on with the bridges? A bunch of money was spent equipping them to be lit and then they just go dark. Is the city responsible for the lighting? I think we're owed an explanation on this.

And people want the government to do more and more for us when they cannot even turn on a freaking light switch.staubio wrote: Seriously, though, what is going on with the bridges?

Maybe someone with contacts at the Downtown Council can make inquiry? *hint* *hint*staubio wrote: Seriously, though, what is going on with the bridges?

I still haven't found much about this. The lights are all still on but at about 20% of the brightness, making it almost not worth the trouble. In fact, it makes the HOA Bridge look worse.

Downtown Council. It was their baby and they put in a lot of the money for it, if I'm not mistaken.staubio wrote: I still haven't found much about this.

I've contacted the action center on this. I'll see if I can stir up anything with DTC as well.

The reply said that the bridge lighting it maintained by MoDOT and that they have been informed.

By "informed" does that mean they'll do something about it?!?!

The Paseo lighting appears to be completely turned off now. Whatever happened to the idea of varying the colors on the Broadway Bridge for different occasions? It would have been awesome to see the bridge lit up in yellow for the recent MU-KU game...

It was good while it lasted, but it looks like each of the major bridges has gone completely dark for the last couple of years now. Pretty sad. Super easy way to have a huge positive impact on visitors and residents. But here we are, dark again.
