Yay!

Mt. Vernon Ave underpass is nicely lit at this point.

Glebe is still 100% dark.

It’s Festivus for the rest of us!

It will remain light for the next week, though the contractor expected it to only last one night.

Ah, good ol’ contractor Mac B.

I rode through there last week- the lights under the GW parkway were out, under the railroad and Rt 1 were lit. Don’t remember the rest… it *was* last week…

The victory of the few over the many, of the good over the wicked. Clearly the holiday is about biking. (The weak over the strong will take some interpretation of course)

Perhaps by some miracle it will last eight nights.

Yesterday morning just after 10:00 there was actually a crew installing what appeared to be new lights under the overpass. And not just new bulbs in the existing housings, from the looks of it they were installing new housings as well. Hopefully it’s bash-proof.

They’ve been up and running for a couple days. A vast improvement! Many thanks to all who are responsible.

Here they are in all of the fuzzy glory my terrible phone camera can muster

I saw them with my own eyes this morning!
