Salt Lake, Utah Downtown Decatur, Ill. Downtown Decatur, Ill. Above Salt Lake City, always keen on retelling the city���s founding tale and hardships of Brigham young and his settlers in 1847, also chose the LG streetlamps for Trolley Square, the city���s ���premier destination for an incomparable shopping, dining and entertainment experience!��� Top, Left A comprehensive restructuring of downtown Decatur, Ill. began in 2011, and will continue through 2014. New plans involve relocating the state highway route that bisects the downtown; reducing traffic lane widths; providing additional on-street parking; constructing new sidewalks with special paving; and new streetscape amenities. One-hundred eighty-five 1960 Gallery series pedestrian lighting assemblies on Monrovia ornamental poles were installed. An additional 16 were mounted on extended pedestrian poles. The aluminum shades are flared and have custom light windows. Blue colored lenses for these windows are primarily used throughout the downtown, but the historic district has red lenses. The lamping is HID 70-watt metal halides. Landscape architecture by Massie Massie & Associates, Springfield, Illinois Bottom, Left Each of the 17 new large roadway light assemblies has a 4500K LED glow ring behind a blue lens mounted at the same height as the city���s pedestrian light fixtures (above photo). Receptacles mounted inside the decorative bases and near the top of the poles provide power during special events and festivals. Sternberg provided everything on the Decatur lighting assemblies except the roadway cobra heads (250-watt high-pressure sodium lamping). 48 Landscape Architect and Specifier News
