Conceptual Lighting for Rockefeller Park Click here for a full-view photo. Rockefeller Park is one of the truly great urban green spaces linking two of our greatest assets, Lake Erie on the North and University Circle to the South. The goals of the lighting initiatives for Rockefeller Park are threefold. First we are improving the illumination and safety for pedestrians utilizing the park by incorporating new pedestrian scale walkway illumination along Martin Luther King Drive and East Boulevard. Secondly we will provide a concept for improved illumination of the Cleveland Cultural Gardens. Third improve the illumination of the bridge facades. New lighting for the lower garden walkways along Martin Luther King Drive and similar walkway lighting for the upper gardens along East Boulevard would take place from the North at Shoreway through to Euclid Avenue at the South. Decorative HID light poles will replace the “cobra-head” luminaires currently mounted on the utility poles. The smaller scale will provide a more pedestrian feel and improve the illumination of the walkways. The pole spacing and light distribution will allow roadway illumination as well. The luminaires shall be cut-off type to eliminate light trespass and the style would be similar to the decorative pole and lantern at Wade Oval. |
