Rotary’s Table Mountain Bridge lighting moves to activation after committee awards $48,719
Summary
The steering committee approved a $48,719 award to complete activation of the Table Mountain Bridge lighting project, enabling the west‑side phase to begin commissioning; Rotary leaders said lights are in place and activation could occur before July 4 celebrations.
The steering committee approved a near‑final award of $48,719 to the Rotary Club’s Orville Lights project to complete activation of LED lighting on the west side of Table Mountain Bridge. Rotary volunteers and private donors have raised most of the project cost and reported that installed fixtures are 'activation ready.'
Dean Gurr, chair of the Orville Lights Project, told the committee that phase one (west‑side lighting) is ready for commissioning and that local contractor Star Energy Management reduced costs and contributed in‑kind support. “Phase one, the west‑side lighting of the Table Mountain Bridge, is activation ready,” Gurr said, and he asked for the committee’s support to finish the final commissioning costs so the project can debut in upcoming community celebrations.
Committee members praised extensive community fundraising and emphasized ongoing maintenance questions. Rotary representatives said most routine maintenance is low‑cost LED work and that they plan to offset electricity and operating expenses through light‑show rentals and ongoing donor support. The committee approved the funding as part of a package motion.
Next steps: staff will finalize grant paperwork and Rotary expects to schedule commissioning and a donor preview before public programming around July 3–4.
