Calgary Riverwalk
Right
Founders Park, is a new hike and bike environment for Rapid City, South Dakota,
dedicated on October 12, 2012. Prior to the renovation, there was just a small trail
that led along a creek, and little to no lighting. The project included new and expanded
pathways, a beautiful bridge, restroom designed by an architect, parking area,
landscaping, way finding signage and new lighting.
The park is lit with Sternberg Lighting���s 1970 Gallery series fixtures, using 150-watt
metal halide lamping. These fixtures have tempered flat glass lenses for full cutoff and
maximum protection of the night sky. The optics are IES type II distribution, and the
powder coat finish is dark bronze. Sternberg also provided the poles, via its partnership
with TimberWood. The Douglas Fir poles are 25��� tall, and roughly 6��� x 7��� in diameter.
