Illumination of the Coronado bridge

Kudos to the Port District for putting the wheels in motion to artistically light the Coronado bridge.

This bridge is an icon of San Diego. It's time to treat it with the same esteem as the Golden Gate bridge or Sydney's Harbor bridge.

By launching an international call for artists and by putting in place a selection panel of respected artists, architects and lighting designers, the Port is off to a good start.

The attached image is not a proposal, but a possible what if scenario.

When I first saw the article on this I thought why hadn't anyone thought of this before. While I'm not totally sure this is an orchid...not yet at least, I hope the Port finds a way to weave through the bureacracy in getting this idea to fruition. I think all of San Diego would be proud of this.
