Decorative Globe Lighting Installied onMLK Bridge in Roser Park

It took 5 years, but the city finally got around to jnstalling decorative lighting on theMartin Luther King Bridge.
Roser Park residents had initiated requests starting in 1995 for an older look to the bridge to go with the neighborhood it borders, a nationally registered historic district.
The four globe lights atop black fixtures were installed by the city's engineering as part of its bridge modification project. Answering another Roser Park request, workers are modifying the concrete "Jersey barriers" on the bridge.
"It just gives alot more character to the bridge", said Roser Park president Kai Warren.
The city is also installing acorn street lights in Roser Park, part of a $100,000 grant.
Neighbors have agreed to pay the power bill and maintenace cost over the first 2 years of the project, public works director Evelyn Rosatti said.
No neighborhood meetings are scheduledthis week.
