Light the Hoan illuminates west side of Hoan Bridge PHASE ONE of the $4.6 million “Light the Hoan” campaign was recently unveiled, officially illuminating the west side of the Daniel Hoan Memorial Bridge over Milwaukee’s inner harbor. During a light show celebrating the milestone, more than 2,000 computer-controlled LED lights were programmed to change color and animate to the tune of music by local artists on 88.9 Radio Milwaukee. Despite fog and rainy weather, the spectacle drew a crowd. Families and small groups gathered in cars and on foot along East Erie Street and East Summerfest Place to watch the crowd-sourced and privately funded project brighten the southern half of Milwaukee’s skyline. n — Maredithe Meyer biztimes.com / 43
