The Riverside BIA is excited to sponsor the lighting of the Riverside Bridge in time for the 2015 Pan Am games!
The bridge has been a symbol of riverside since its creation in the early 1800s. While it was originally a humble wooden bridge, it now stands as an artistic creation. In 1996 Eldon Garnet added his own touch. He created the clock as well as the quote “The river I step in is not the river I stand in”. The bridge is now a passage into the beautiful neighbourhood of Riverside.
Currently, when approaching the bridge at night its artistic features get lost in the darkness. The bridge will be lit using energy efficient LED lights that will accent the work of the original bridge builders as well as Mr. Garnet’s beautiful additions.
This lighting project will be complete just in time for Toronto’s debut as the host of the Pan Am games! Given Riverside’s close proximity to the athlete’s village, we expect this artistic project to impress the entire continent!
