Blue Rose wins Rivers Edge Location...

Do you have a particular choice or just not blue?

Green is close to blue (ROY G BIV), might be interesting and less damaging.  I am not fond of the orangish street lights. Red might be OK but it's getting in the difficult to see range if I remember correctly from B&W film darkroom days. Yellowish would kind of match incandescent lighting and not be too interesting.  I would say street light orange would not be interesting either.

If you were lighting in an environmentally conscious way, the trick would be to avoid colors associated with dawn for any all-night lighting.
The bluish hues of dawn are what resets the body's clock and stops the production of melatonin.
That being said, warmer colors are less likely to adversely affect the rhythms of animals and people.

Aesthetically, blue is interesting at night highlighting features, but areas washed in blue are cold and uninviting.

"Black" light is really UV, kind of a deep violet.  Maybe some non-combusted particles above the aqueous surface would be appropriate.

They could just paint the bridge with that glow in the dark paint.  Then it would just fade away in the night.

Why do we have to light the bottom of a bridge anyway?

So the hobos can find their crack pipes and pints?

. . .in that case we should just heat the bottom of the bridge too.

Nope, I draw the line at lighting only, no heat.

You're right.  That would encourage them to be more homeless!

There are no plans (that I know of) to do it, I just think it's a cool idea and something that would be highly visible from the Blue Rose and any future development on the west bank.  OKC had OG+E install lights on the Byers bridge near downtown, it looks awesome at night.

Yeah. . .I don't see that ending well.

I'll check back in a few years.

I'm thinking that might cause a few OCD cranksters to lean over and fall to their deaths if we did that here.

I'd just like a guarantee that it will function with the same unfaltering reliability as the lighting on the Expo building has.

Bridges are a maintenance nightmare.  Tulsa has an excellent track record of maintaining them (sarcasm).  I don't think it's a good idea to complicate the matter.

It didn't help that the county contracted with a company that BK'd soon after the lights were installed.  Well vetted apparently.

Is the Expo, er QT Center not lighted anymore?

As far as I can tell the lights are there but inoperable and too expensive to repair.
