Will This Be Downtown’s New Street Light?

This light got, at best, a lukewarm response from city staff when it was first proposed. And consultants were shy about saying it was their preference until the meetings were opened up and architect Rand Elliott urged Jerreck Boss to name his preference and argue why it’s the best choice.

Sure enough, the round fixture is back. And the group has been talking about how it might work into introducing a subtle “O” theme to downtown’s street design.

I’ll keep an open mind. But it doesn’t appear to be simple in the sleek context or interesting in the architectural context. Perhaps it will be fine when matched with the entire scheme.

OKC: Home of the Big “O”.

I’m more interested in the quality of light that it puts out. As other designers have said, the street lights should blend in and not become a focal point themselves.
