Clearwater weighs bridge lighting against Imagine Clearwater amenities

Should the city of Cleatwater spend $1.48 million to light up the Memorial Causeway Bridge? Or could that money be used to keep as many amenities as possible in the design of Imagine Clearwater, the city’s signature waterfront park project?

Council members on Thursday will vote on the bridge lighting expenditure and give staff direction on the proposed cuts to the park design.

City Council member Hoyt Hamilton said the bridge lighting should ultimately be a part of Imagine Clearwater, but suggested it could be postponed.
