The decorative lights were added to the plans “after the local communities requested a signature look for the new bridge.”
I'm sorry, I just cannot believe this. As a resident on the Tiverton Basin waterfront who attended most of the meetings I thought we were trying to minimize the effect of the bridge on the community, not exacerbate it. To add unnecessary light pollution from these "sabers" is a horrible idea.
Perhaps a couple of times a year, e.g. red white and blue for one day on July 4th, but no more, please!
