Midtown Crossing, Omaha, Nebraska Top, Left Grenald Waldron Associates approached Valmont Industries to select the appropriate light poles to complement the decorative street lighting assemblies at the Midtown Crossing in Omaha, Nebraska. The fixtures (Kim Lighting) for Midtown Crossing are flushmounted, square full-cutoffs with 150-watt metal halide lamps and quad-mount brackets. The quad-pipe steel poles (W.J. Whatley, Inc., a Valmont company) have a Santa Fe decorative base and steel ���Strada��� luminaire arm assemblies. Ormond Beach, Florida Bottom, Left At Rockefeller Gardens Park in Ormond Beach, Florida, 60-watt LED fixtures (King Luminaire - K56) were mounted on 11-ft. WJ Whatley ���Xtreme��� composite lamp posts and bases, adding a decorative touch to the pathways. The Ormond Beach City landscape architect is Paul McDonald. Above & Right: Calgary Riverwalk General area lighting throughout the Calgary Riverwalk is 20 ft. 9-inch diameter ���City Elements��� columns (Hess) with 150-watt T6 ceramic metal halides, specified for their ���warm color and excellent color rendering.��� Asymmetric housings and Type III reflectors were selected for all 44 columns on this phase. The lamps are equipped with RGB LEDs and drivers, with DMX control capability centrally located on the column, 9 feet above grade, to provide colored accenting and visual interest. The lower placement of these elements adds a human scale to the tall columns and welcomes patrons into the space. For day-to-day lighting, the LED accent modules are set to blue, but can be changed to different color schemes through preset programs created for special events. Some of the columns include internal GFCI outlets to provide power for events. Special acknowledgement goes to Optics Lighting in Calgary in support of the designers during the lighting specification. Right: Calgary Riverwalk Stantec���s design collaboration for the RiverWalk master plan for the Calgary Riverwalk, a four-kilometer promenade in Calgary���s East Village, was recognized with a National Award of Merit in the biennial Urban Design Awards sponsored by the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (RAIC), the Canadian Institute of Planners, and the Canadian Society of Landscape Architects. The ���City Element��� barrier bollards (Hess) with their color-changing RGB LEDs are installed throughout the Calgary Riverwalk to prevent unauthorized vehicular entry onto the pedestrian and bicycle paths. The bollards are synchronized to match the LED modules on the columns. Of the 49 bollards installed, 14 were also configured to include BS300 intermediate elements with pathway optics to provide low-level illumination in selected areas along the riverfront.
