White Way Lighting System Finished on Minnesota Street
The White Way on Minnesota Street from Second South to Fourth North is now fully lit. Twenty two lamp posts on each side hold five tungsten lights each, creating a bright view similar to Nicollet Avenue. All lights stay on until eleven, then four smaller lights go off and the large globes continue the night. This is a notable improvement over the former lighting system.
