Burnett Plaza upgrades lighting

That’s right - if you’ve noticed something different about Burnett Plaza at night, you are not suffering fever dreams. Everybody’s favorite concrete slab in the sky has finally started replacing their ancient amber Christmas light-style night lighting scheme. The lights are coming down, being replaced by new pure white rope lighting (still in the “outline the building” pattern). The new rope lights will look more “neon-like,” without the gaps between bulbs of the amber strings. Hopefully, the new lights will last longer than the amber bulbs, which burned out often and led to large gaps of dead space between working bulbs. Perhaps the new lights are LEDs for longer life?

You should be noticing the changes now - most work has been underway on the building’s west side, with the east side (presumably) to follow.
