Uniting two family-oriented neighborhoods with an extensive park and trail system, a pedestrian/cycling bridge spans Irvine Boulevard in Irvine, CA. While the bridge was created for safe pedestrian and bicycle passage from point to point, it is also a destination in itself. At night, the bridge provides a glowing beacon for its travelers, with lighting strategically located to illuminate the grand vertical gateways and to guide walkers, runners, and bikers along the pathway. The challenges were to provide a new exciting walkway between the neighborhoods more unique than former bridges, while still meeting the strict security requirements of the city. With a simple, elegant – and fun - lighting scheme, the new neighborhoods have an iconic element that promotes walking and cycling, encouraging healthy, active families.
