I know he was banned but I just thought I'd point out that part of the $278 million project to rehabilitate the Hoan Bridge includes adding LED lights.

The river crested a few days ago in Grand Rapids, and the river is finally receding after having done a lot of damage just outside the city. Fortunately, the floodwalls largely held, downtown, with the exception that the Plaza Towers - a hotel/apartment tower - had to be evacuated when water flooded its basement:

Weird, that was my comment. I haven't been banned, yet. I am very glad they are doing something with the bridge, but i hope it turns out better than the lights in the marquette interchange. Those are terribly placed and are out half the time anyway.

A photo from today's Lansing State Journal. It appears to be taken from the helipad of Sparrow Hospital's West Tower:

It would be great if they could make that street more of a blvd, with some trees or landscaping as it leads towards the Capitol Bldg.

The center lane is where the Michigan/Grand River Avenue BRT line is going, so it won't be a boulevard.
