Agenda - City of Santa Monica

STRING LIGHTING
NIGHT LIGHTING CONCEPT PLAN
Identif ed by the community as
a priority for the Esplanade, the
signature string lighting design is
one of the essential, coordinated and
unifying elements providing a unique
identity to the project. Chosen for its
functional, aesthetic, and low prof le
quality, string lighting strengthens the
corridor by providing a festive, safe
and signature nighttime environment
with the least amount of visual
obstruction for the sidewalk and
roadway.
The vertical poles are located at the
back of the South sidewalk, widening
the open view, and eliminating the
need for separate roadway and
pedestrian light poles. Light poles
on the North side of the street
would either be located in a similar
condition to the present or eliminated
where the string light cables can be
attached to the adjacent buildings,
such as Parking Structure 8. The
overhead light would echo traditional
festive Pier lights and create a
distinctive ambiance at night that
enlivens the area.
